A little pampering goes a long way.
It’s amazing how nice a bit of pampering can feel. Yesterday, late afternoon, I had a hair appointment. By the time I left the salon I felt relaxed, which was good after a stressful day.
The curmudgeon wasn’t having a good day, and I really noticed more cognitive problems. Not sure if it comes from his sleep patterns or from his MS.
When I have to explain something in detail more than two times, you know he’s having difficulty. I try so hard to be patient but I am not always successful.
It’s days like that, where a break and a bit of relaxation is important for my sanity.
You all have a good one!

Let the veggie garden begin
The last few years, due to lack of energy, strength, and help, I’ve cut my veggie garden down to a few pots instead of the large plots I used to have in my yard.
Yesterday, on my way home from the grocery store, due to road construction, I passed by one of my favorite little intercity nurseries so naturally, since I had no frozen foods, I stopped in.
She always has wonderful plants and in forty years, her plants have never failed me. I bought three varieties of tomatoes, two eggplants, two varieties of peppers, and a bunch of Basil plants. I would’ve bought more but she only takes cash or checks, and since I didn’t have my check book along, and what I bought nearly cleaned me out of cash, I had to stop. Dang it.
Today I have to go get more soil for my pots so I can finish planting what I bought…
You all have a good one!

We start a new week and a new month
We had a lovely drop in temperature and humidity last night. Soft cool breezes had me turning off the AC and opening the doors and windows.
The pup’s newest collars arrived. I love https://www.facebook.com/pages/Collar-My-World-Custom-Collars-and-Accessories/399914493430389 Diana makes the best collars!
I don’t think I’ve ever had more than one collar per dog at a time this is very nice to have several so I can switch them.
You all have a good one!
A new family member.
My cousin’s daughter brought her second child into the world today. Welcome to the world little Soledad Aletta Jeanne Hibner!
She is not amused.
Tornado alley is getting nailed again
Would everyone please keep Oklahoma and all the other people who are going through more storms in your thoughts and prayers.
I remember as a kid, living in Nebraska, we would have to hit the basements frequently. I’d forgotten what it was like until many years later when I was helping my mother move and we had to hit the basement. It wasn’t long afterwards, when a tornado jumped over the house, I remembered that freight train sound from my childhood.
Candles lit here for all you in Tornado alley.
The rest of you all have a good one!
