Got up, worked out, cleaned up, sat in a court room for a few hours then provided an escort, ran out to the storage garage just to check on things, stopped at a store and came home. I have a few things to do yet but decided I should check and make sure you people were all still here and hadn't been abducted by the NSA yet.

We were wondering if you ran off to Vegas😃! Glad you checked in, the stories may have gotten out of hand!🤣
 
Filled a cart at Aldi, and stopped and bought some porch mums. Took husband to the doc for his labs for his appt tomorrow. Grouchy must be in the air, because he was grouchy, too, until I went thru the Scooters drive thru and got him a berry smoothie. Picked up his prescriptions. Levi gets home before little granddaughter and helped put groceries away, and fix a shelf I had overloaded in the basement. He's out helping with chores right now, so I think he wants dinner, too, but did get an after school snack going when he got here. OJ and cheese and crackers. Aldi was very quiet today, I was surprised. But maybe the strike wouldn't be announced till tomorrow, and tomorrow is also the 1st, so I expect they'd be crazier then. No great deals today, and they were out of roasts, and I wanted four or five of them. Running low.
 
well...i musta needed a nap....i passed out listening to audio book....i may go to bed early...like right now even...maybe dream about bulldozers,road building,skidding timber,fishing and such.
 
I am pretty proud of my Irishman today.
He stuck to his guns and told Estelle "NO".
Course she cried and tried to get him to change his mind.
She wants to go with us on an Adult date Saturday night.
I had already told her "NO' one day last week.
So she thought she could con him into her letting go with us.
But he told her no and stuck with it.
I was worried for about 5 minutes.
I sent him a text and told him if you back down"You're fair game".
She won't believe anything you say hence forth.
So she got a firm "NO" you can't go.
But an apple, plum, frozen candy cane , and a dollar makes life better when you're 7 years old.
Not quite sure why she got a dollar but that's between them.
Estelle's world is upside down right now.
Granny is dating the Irishman.
Nana (the other grandma) is dating someone from her work.
Aunt Sissy is dating some one new too.
Her support system is still there, just different now.
And she's not the youngest anymore either.
She has a 2 little brothers now and 1 big sister.
Her little brothers are at each parents house.
1 at her mom's house and 1 at her dad's house.
 
Woke up with a bad tummy ache. Felt nauseous. Took Pepto and rolled to my left side. Cats started jumping on me after awhile. I called the doctor's office to ask about the reminder calls on Friday. They do robocalls to do appointment reminders and there were two appointments. One was for my brother but turns out doctor had something come up and couldn't come in that morning. Bro will have to reschedule. I also rescheduled my appointment for next week.

Itsy kept bugging me so I got up and fed kitties, then crawled back into bed. Felt better around 2:30pm but still run down. Got food for Mom and napped a bit and then went to pick up friend to bring him over to do some yard work. He cleared about half the trash pile out front and cut down the small tree near the air conditioner. I helped a little. It was a lightweight tree and I was able to haul half of it to the burn pile. My gorilla cart got a workout. Got friend some food and put gas in his car when we got back into town.

Still feeling run down even though I didn't do too much. About to take another nap before I make dinner.
 
Monday September 30th 2024
Yup the last day of September

Tomorrow will be the First Day of October 2024
The Halloween month 👻

Nice day out I was working outside most of the day
Mow ... cleaned ...cut and tied some branches etc

Took time with Dane Girl too outside
She did love it ...sunny and cool 🐶
She likes to stand in the middle of the yard
Then when she hear or see something ..I did not even saw
She does her deep bark..
I say thats ok.. Then she stops and slowly wags her tail
Everybody are fed and now snoozes

Did make fire in woodstove in basement

Anyway...a quiet busy day but my back is sore a bit now
My bed will probably call me early tonight

Sleep well 🥱😴

 
With the strike pending, it will be a shopping day tomorrow.

Supply chains will be compromised, and store shelves will be bare, not to mention the wild price increases that are sure to follow.

And this is just the East Coast ... when the West Coast joins in, it will be bad.
 
Well I did it. I just turned the little heater on near my feet. It was only supposed to go down to 40 last night, but it was 34 when I woke up. Well when I got up. Woke before midnight and didn’t get back to sleep until after 3 AM 😒. Not a bad Monday but don’t feel like I accomplished a whole lot.
 
Got the heat shield finished around the wood stove in the fur shed today.

Work was busy and annoying today, ended up putting in too many hours but oh well. Did manage to get outside and do a little work on my greenhouse project. Swam in the pool for a while, that felt really good. Installed a camera on my front porch and got it hooked up, seems to be working well. Next I'll have to figure out how to extend wifi out to the shed, I want to put one up out there too.
Yesterday a friend brought her niece over to learn how to shoot, thinks she wants to come deer hunting this fall. Started with basic safety rules, practice with the 22 and then up to the 12. Went through a box of shells. She didn't do too badly. In payment they helped start on my wood pile mess; got the stacking area cleared out and the new rack set up.
Got all my grass cut Friday, took most of the day and 3 tanks of gas. I'm so tired of that. Very seriously considering buying a zero turn, dealer in the next town over is clearing out old models at cost. Pearl didn't come do my weed whacking, so I guess I'll have to work on that tomorrow.
Sonya I'm glad the storms didn't cause you anymore damage. So sad reading all the news and seeing the devastation.
Amish and Snappy, praying that your husbands respond well to treatment and get to feeling better. I know how hard it is to see a loved one suffer with poor health.

Do you really think people paid attention? Today is the first, and stores are typically more crowded, but Aldi was deader than dead yesterday. I did see one lady load up a fourth of her cart with canned stuff, and she looked nervous doing that (ha) I smiled at her.

The couple I cleaned for yesterday went to Walmart and one of the smaller grocery stores. They said the shelves were pretty bare. I'll report in later!!
 
Dealing with life. Last month we lost one of our bucks. Not sure how he died but he died in my arms being loved. Our other buck was showing the same signs of distress so I started checking him every hour. He started eating again and putting weight back on. He is healthy looking now and back at weight so I am not sure what he had. Strange how they can lose weight so fast but takes weeks to get it back on. Our does are fine but I am down a buck now that the senior buck passed. I have been trying to find a breeder in the area that I can get a quality buck from but so far no luck. There is a breeder in OK that has very nice rabbits but it is the travel that is stopping me. There is another up north of Dallas that has great stock but again the travel is stopping me right now. Too many local breeders don't know what they have and lie about there stock that I am not sure I want to bother. I may end up getting a new trio of a different breed just so I can put the meat in the freezer when the temps go down.

Went to Walmart yesterday to fill a cart and K was giving me crap about it being all 'junk'. Not true but we don't get junk food often so once every few months we get some extra snacks. The girls enjoy it but we also spread it all out. I mostly wanted to have the makings of our holiday treats in case the shelves are empty during the holidays due to a dock worker strike or what not. I did mostly get shelf stable foods to fill holes in our everyday pantry. Some of our LTFS is expiring in the next year so I have been putting it in the everyday pantry and replacing it in the food stores.

Found a local butcher for beef. YUM! I need to stop by again soon to get some more for the freezer. I let K pick the cuts so maybe this weekend. Found a butcher that carries local pork but we haven't stopped by to pick any up. Now to find one that has local chicken. We did get some dove breasts last week. One of K's co-workers went dove hunting and shared the wealth. He also gave us some ground venison from last years hunt so he had room in his freezer for this years. I have not issues with that. I think we ended up with some catfish as well. Not sure how to cook it but I'll give it a try. When I dated a fisherman before I met K he cooked and cleaned what he caught so I never had to.

Roo got braces. Fun. She wanted them and K and I knew she needed them. I can see the change in her smile already. She took a week off school because her jaw hurt to the point she was in tears. Since we home school no biggie. She only has the top set right now so I know we will be taking a week off when she gets the bottoms. Her bottom jaw is worse but her overbite prevents us from getting them on now. She'd knock the brackets off.

Busy busy busy.
