monday chatter.
Mornin',
.......this little light of mine. let the dim little light bulb shine.
sat in the shower for a long time. couldn't bring myself to move. too many spasms. glad it's a warm season, had it been winter i woulda turned blu-ish. little thing to be grateful for. not being cold.
struggled to slowly gradually dry off......dress, and live with Rio's breakfast chant. "feed - feed - feed meeeeeee!"
annie is eating - rio is sitting next to me.......ignoring breakfast. someday somebody explain cats to me. i can't decide if they are more like men or women. i have varying opinions on the matter.
took meds plus pain pills, two pain pills at the same time. no messing around today. nausea will be here soon, but maybe it will knock the pain back enough that i can make it back to bed? that's the general plan.
cleaners are coming today. make everything clean and shiny. arrive around 1 pm. yay.
daughterface called last night. she wanted to tell me of her trip.......leaving this morning at 8:40 am. a good friend drafted her to go to Corpus Christi, TX for a special week long event at a beach resort for high school children. It's a week of learning and praise. Sara will be part of the worship team........she said she thought she had better tell me so I wouldn't be mad. sigh, stayed silent, listened.....just listened.
she is busy, happy..........she shared other upcoming events......more concert dates for the summer.
haven't talked to Sam lately, we were supposed to catch up last week-end, but maybe soon.
the good news is that i watered all the plant babies yesterday, in and out doors.......the outdoor plants were so thirsty and so GRATEFUL for a long drink of cool water! went to the store for milk, fresh produce, golden flax bread. it was so busy. so many people at once. exhausting. glad that it's behind me. i knew if i shopped and watered stuff i would be in trouble this morning, but i have the determination gene, it runs deep.
i got fresh pears & apricots, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, celery.....pre-made broccoli slaw. I need to mix up the slaw dressing. Which is easy enough........later after the meds kick in. I made Mrs. Dash no salt sloppy Joes yesterday......so I can nuke a quick meal. --- also mixed up some tuna salad too. all set for quickie easy to make meals for a few days. good girl!
I splurged yesterday on the way home, got a meal from KFC. Can I tell you that despite the flaws of take-out food, it was the best doggone meal I've had in a while?! I didn't HAVE TO COOK IT and that made it extra good.........I was up to my eyeballs in cabin fever yesterday.........paying the piper for wandering off the compound. Still glad I went........said the girl until she attempts to stand or walk.
feels like a cow kicked my tail bone. which leads to spasms in all sorts of places. sorry i am going on too much about it........i wish the kitties would make me some oatmeal. The bananas were in sorry shape at the store.......one of my favorites meals lately is oatmeal with sliced bananas and a little brown sugar.........makes me feel like I can take on the world.
told sara i had broken down - arranged for cleaners to come today --- she said that was her all time favorite gift that i had ever given her............she told me to enjoy it to the max! so that is the plan.......to try to stay out of their way and enjoy it TO THE MAX!
my chest hurts........GERDS is reacting to the meds. since i've recently thrown up a few times, my esophagus/upper chest/heart area hurt .......hopefully it will heal sooner than later.......sorry guess that is TMI......please accept my apology.
if i call doc heather for an appt how will i get there? gotta think positive........by the time the appt date arrives i will probably be able to get there. maybe baby.......maybe. temporarily low on spunk, but maybe in a week?
turn the page, asked sara to bring me some beach sand or some Texas dirt.......both of my babies were born in Texas...........take care ya'll..........sparrow is on wonky bird detail, but it's gonna be alright.
ok, here goes........attempting to post a journal entry. have lost so many comments made to individuals lately and then yesterday a journal...........so frustrating. gonna copy this one first and then post it..........crossing my fingers........!!!!!

Do hope you feel better & do enjoy the cleaners getting your house shipshape. Enjoy that fresh produce also. That KFC meal sounds good to me. It has been a while since I have enjoyed one of those.
Hope your health improves too.
Ruthie, you have no idea the difference it will make when someone else takes over the housecleaning. A dear friend 12 yrs my junior, took over mine the week turned 70, and I\'ve never been so grateful for anything in my entire life!!! You are sure to love it.
I do pray that you start to feel better so you can enjoy the summer weather!
Hope you get to feel better with all that pain, and the pills help you. Glad to hear that annie is eating, was so sick, or just did not want to eat? My dog moves her bowl around the kitchen as she just a fuss pot when it comes to her food. lol. So rio did not feel like having his breakfast, we can\'t win with them trying to get them to eat. Nice you got to water all your lovely plants KFC is great to have, don\'t know when the last time i had it. But i think that was so way back. That must be so painful that you kicked your tail bone. Nice you got some fresh vegetables and fruits. Hugs x
Wanted to say there, was annie not well that she did not want to get her food?
I hope your meds kick in and you feel better soon, Sparrow. The weather is too nice not to be able to get out and enjoy it a little. Good job on fixing the food ahead of time! You\'ll be glad you did.
This Little Light of Mine ...... Biblically speaking, that little light is either a candle or a lamp. Either way, it burns up some energy (Second Law of Thermodynamics). Makes me wonder if we should blow our little lights out every now and again!
Oh my little sparrow! You have not been feeling well for so long. I\"m sorry your\'e in pain. Not having to cook is awesome! That\'s why I splurge on expensive tomato vodka sauce at Whole Foods. Throw some angel hair pasta in boiling water and in 3 minutes, I have a gourmet meal! :)
Kitties are telling me to go to bed. I hope you feel better tomorrow!
Hug hug!
