It's drier than a popcorn fa...

Well, you know where I was going with this.  It's hot and dry and the wind today beat the dog snot out of our little garden.  It's being hydrated as we speak, and we're gonna go through some water this year to keep alive.  Keeping it moist isn't gonna happen.  It's dried out today and I watered it yesterday.

We had company last night in the back 40 and I'm surprised I even have a garden left.  There are spots of the garden, that because of the grade and the way I planted it, that stay moist.  Moist enough that a deer print or two was found in the soil today.  I didn't see anything munched on though.

My roomie is feeling ill today.  I had to take her to the doctor.  She doesn't have strep, but has the worst sore throat and laryngitis.  She shared the sore throat with me.  And others.  I'm told everyone has it.  Me, I have weapons to fight back.  No church for me tomorrow, though.  I don't need to share this with others.

I have the humidifier cranked up for June today, and the fan to keep it cool.  Among the things that need fixin' around here would be the air conditioners.  Next summer.  Not this one.

For dinner later on tonight we will be enjoying some chicken tava.  Or I will be.  She's on chicken soup because it hurts her too badly to swallow.  I gotta go make her take some Tylenol and some cough syrup they prescribed for her.  Then I'm headed for the pool.

With a nice Rum and Coke.  Today's a good day for that.  And I have a floating cocktail holder for the pool so it'll work out perfectly.  I love it when a plan comes together.

Hope you're having a great weekend.  Mine could be better, but I'm still very blessed!

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
