Have you considered getting drunk? I have found pain is less painful when you're intoxicated. Follow me for more medical advice.

Sorry for your woes Pearl!
I haven't even wanted a beer! Hubby thought I was dying, lol!! As bad as things were, I'm glad for the beer break! Did some more McKenzie push ups and things are better! But I do thank you for the advice my friend!

Maybe I can get the lady to take you to the spa on Friday. Helga can knead you like a ball of dough before they throw you in some hot sand for a while.

What kinda brandy do you use? What's the reciepe?

Christian Brothers and (the secret ingredient) Dark Creme de Cocoa, about 2 ozs of each per drink and two scoops of vanilla ice cream. IMHO the Dark Creme de Cocoa gives it a richer flavor than the white.
 
I got the septic covered back up and dumped 2 loads of gravel on top. Put the forks on the tractor and tried to level the wood shed. It picked the rear tires up off the ground. So tomorrow I'm going to drag out the floor jack and see if that will help raise the corner of the building. I only need to get it lifted high enough that I can crawl under the building and add some more blocks. The wife and I pushed her 4 wheeler in to the shop so I can try to figure out what's wrong with it. My 4 wheeler is still taking up space in the shop too. Tomorrow I hope to finish the wood shed and dig the hole for the Starlink mounting pole.
 
Sciatica!! And thank you, yes are are great videos for lower back and sciatica issues! This morning is shooting pain down my left leg severely! The pain has been so bad that I've hardly eaten in a few days! Praying for a miracle today!! I will watch this and other Brad and Bob videos shortly!! Thanks again Weedy!!
Oh no! I'm praying for you now.
 
Had the day off. I think it's part of a plot by the union to push out more dem votes, (I refused to join the union but am still under the same contract), but I'll take it, I can always use time off. Tossed some potatoes and a few other things in the crockpot in the hopes it will magically become soup, and started in on some chores. A friend had dropped off some saplings and peony plants she dug up from her yard, so went out to get them in the ground. Which led to spending the whole day on yard work, instead of attacking the other projects I had planned on. Lots of digging, planting, tearing out old shrubs, and lots of pruning. The bushes around the house took a beating when the roofers were here.
What is one to do when the list is 50' long, and every task is a priority? Sometimes it gets me down. But I did accomplish things today instead of sitting in a chair so I'll call it good. A break from the work computer is also good.
I don't understand why I get so tired and so sore so quickly. I don't get near enough done in a day, but I'm so worn out I can't go any further or faster. I'll be out there working and feeling plenty warm then get to where I can hardly move. I stagger into the house and land in my chair, and then I get chilled and start shivering, even though the house is warm. I don't get it.
Watching "Part Time Explorer" and "This N That Garage" and "Holmes on Homes" episodes on youtube and completely ignoring the shrieking and moaning news channels. Their feverish spin is more than I can take on a regular day, no way I could tolerate it over something important.
I don't hold out much hope, at least not for my state, as our secretary of state is a completely corrupt, evil force who will use every bit of her power to cheat, hand in glove with our governor and attorney general. There's not a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks that Michigan votes will be counted fairly or accurately.
All I can do is sit here and pray for my country.
At least the sort-of-soup turned out pretty tasty, if a bit watery.
 
Well, little granddaughter has a two hr late start tomorrow for school, so she gets to sleep in a bit. Is playing ukelele right now and entertaining the pup. She says all they're doing tomorrow at school is discussing mental health. The day after the election? Really? Maybe this should go in rants. 20 minutes till husband's next IV infusion, then off to bed I go.
 
At 2 am one of the dogs barked and husband leapt out of bed; our furry friend had come back for the chicken heads and was caught in a trap. Once dispatched Had a cuppa and decided to watch the election, before dozing bit until 6. I've a meeting this morning so all chores done, I might not be fit for much by this afternoon so planning on sorting a few gifts I had ordered and checking out the best places to shop for Christmas hamper bits.
I wonder @Amish Heart if the teacher has seen the effect the election has had on children (you wouldn't know what goes on at home) so thats why today was chosen.
