I'm sure most of ya know the music of John Denver...

Hard to believe he's gone... Yepp....

Today the weather has me feelin....Stoned....like buriesed and beaten... today is Stones...

I know sometimes there's gotta be a little rain... but gee.. why do it have to kick my big ole hinny?

I muttled thru yesterday ....washed couple loads of clothes... laid in bed and ached big time... snoozin just wishin the day was done....I got some pain meds.. they work fair... but that is not enuff when the side effects make me snapp and growl at everything and everyone that moves...

....

So any way... I fried up some chicken... the boneless skinless chickin brest...ya get in the frozen dept. of the grocery store...made us a cajun style seasoned flour.. tossed em in the skillet... Yummy.. shore was good...too bad I couldn't make some gravy to go with them  tatoes....Oh well some folks don't like gravy on frys no how...

i sat and hand sewed a patch on a patch of my sons shorts... dang my hands are achey today...

that woke me up more than once last nite.. hands hurtin... and my  breathin machine..gee I used a chin strapp so long I got to the point I don't need it any mo... well maybe..last nite my big mouth flew open and gosh dang that's a weeirrddd feelin as I ever had.....woke up grabbin that nasal pillow and tossin that thing accross the room...

hehehehe.

it didnt' fly lol.. short hose ya know... but I was suprised at myself...all these years of blowin 20 pounds of air up my nose... and hey I aint any smarter... nope.....but i aint plum dumb....

well double thinkin I might not wanna debate the last statement...

.....

I'm havin somekinda helltopaythingy.... yepp... I'm feelin like I was shot at and hit...  chit at and hit....run down.. run over....

I know it's gonna be a ruff couple of days.... or a week... maybe the barometeric pressure will stable out...I'm just so darn tired already.....

Ya know I made my grandson a kiddie chair.. boy likes  it big time but I'm worried it might not be as  safe as I'd hope.. so I designed one better ....lower base  more kid friendly not sharp edges...

Ask junior to bring the old chair by so I could redo  it... was gonna just swapp it out for a better chair....but hey... first i called.. see if I could brung the new chair over... it was sure dad... then  he called back said nope ya better  wait till tommorrow... OKAY...

So hey ... It's early I go and start Brunch for Homegrown and myself..(homegrown is my youngest still at home)

Phone rings.... it's junior... sayin hey telll dad he can come over now.....!..What.. dang boy I'm in the middle of something here.. can't ya just dropp of the chair on the way to work.... ?

Yeap dad I can do that... Cool...

well that was two days ago... no chair... nope I aint been over there...I aint felt like fussin with it... sides... I'm the disabled old fart. here and well I know as Junior so tenderly put it ... Life dont evolve around old men on SSI......

You know if I was a Horse they'd just shoot me... Yepp.....

See why it is better if I just live a life alone... so I don't effect some poor soul with my bickerin...and painful whinnin....

Well today is Stones... it's ruff and painfull as hail.... not enuff tea in China to spell relief.... well I could think of a couple of things that would be kinda heaven sent... but ya can't hide in a bottle of booze or depend on them pills....

tommorrow might be a Diamond... who knows.... I get thru the ruff patches clingin to my friend....

it gets really scary sometimes...the pain... it just overwhelmin....sufficatin even... eyes are blurry...hard to breath cause sinuses are so messed up....pain kickin me round like an ole tin can....gee even have some phantom pain... where me grandma whacked me with that old baldpin hammer ...yepp that ole dent in my head is achin to beat sixty yesterday.....wow..45 years and it still hurts... am I crazy or what... cirtifiable .... how ya spell dat...

.....

It's okay .....kinda like slidin down a grassy hill on a piece of cardboard... ya ever do that as a kid...aint much snow in Texas ya know... but there be grassy hills... and yepp it funner than watchin two old banny roosters fight for the chickin coupe... ..cept maybe when ya get to the bottom of that hill and run outta grass... ooops... ROCK......BIG...ROCK....!

hehehehehe...missed me.... SPLATT!....aweee didnt' see that one comin did ya... LOL

well just pell ya self off that rock and go for another ride..yepp....

.........

I aint feelin sorry fur myself.. but I is feelin... kinda beat up and ruff.... but when I look in da mirror ....I still tell the old fart to hang in there buddy... oh I reckon...one more day aint gonna kill me.. ..LOL...gee emotioncon aint workin .....

so guess I'll go snooze ... daydream I had a beter life... heck I might even run for president in my dreams LOL... who knew...... see ya... Hang in there....

......

Some days are Diamonds.... some days are Stones....

Some times the bad times ... wont leave me alone....

some time the cold wind.... chills me to the bone...

Some Days are Diamonds..... Some Days are Stones.....
