Tol' Ja
Tol' ja I'd probably think of some other things after I saved the last journal. Well, here goes. I've been searching for some biscuit cutters. I had a set of three, but through the years, two of them have broken and left me with one that's about the size of tube biscuits. That's too small for me. If I'm going to take the time and effort to make roll out the dough, I want a big biscuit. I don't make them from scratch but use a mix and change the milk to butter milk for better flavor. Nobody carries them around here. Walmart, K-Mart, Target, and the local statewide grocery store don't carry them. Doesn't anybody make biscuits anymore? I've found them on the internet, but they're the restaurant grade or super fancy and cost a lot. I've been cutting them with a knife which makes for some interesting shapes. I've noticed Kit doesn't like any barriers between us. He gave me a sample this morning while I was taking a shower. I have a clear shower curtain so I can see. Its a security issue. He sat at the door and although he could see me, whined until I finished and pulled back the curtain. It, also happens when I have to put him in the bedroom and shut the door when I bring the groceries in or handle the laundry. He doesn't mind the gate being closed outside when he's doing his thing except he'd love to make a dash through it. He still doesn't like me using the computer for any length of time. I have to beg him for more time. Its getting harder and harder not to give him "human" food. He circles me like an Indian raid while I'm eating and I don't have any wagons to circle. It's hard to get out of chairs. My knees really hurt when I do and makes me think twice. Guess this could be solved with exercise. My eczema is getting worse. I'm having a hard time finding one of my tools I use to combat it,,,latex gloves. There are plenty of vinyl ones around, but they don't fit tight enough. I put the glove on my hand after I've put on the cream and leave it on for an hour each day. That usually clears it up after two or three days. I wish I could find those lunch meat variety packs with the four different kinds in them. I can find the turkey ones, but I just can't go them. It's either salami or baloney and I'm getting tired of both. TV has been a bummer without NHL hockey games and its gonna get worse after tonight after the championship college football games and only a few pro games left. They've reached an agreement, but there won't be much of a season left. Well, that's it. I won't do this again unless something spectacular comes up.

I was able to drop in for a visit -- life is a challenge when ill coping alone it appears. I always had the notion that if I stuck it out life would improve over time after my husband\'s death -- I have learned this is not true unless wealthy or well connected and I\'m neither and growing more weary with the passing of the days.
Kit is a sweetie to be sure -- I\'m glad the two of you have each other. May 2013 somehow be gentle and kind to us to allow healing and happiness. I can\'t imagine that is asking too much after so many years of this nightmare survived.
((hugs)) for at least a good day today.

I found this very comforting and relaxing:

Sounds like your baby doesn\'t wish to miss anything you do. I am so happy that is how it goes at your place, shows how much devotion you both have. My mom use to make biscuits from scratch and they had buttermilk in them. I made them for awhile, but now I just prefer to make those frozen ones.
I read your comment about lifting and I do it repetitive everyday. I even got sick one day and thought I was going to pass out, you have to be very fast paced with it. Hugs to you and your furbaby
