Month Hiatus is Over!
I appreciate your patience with me. I had set up my computer in my bedroom, but then found it necessary to rearrange because the configuration I had set up wasn't working for my small room. It took waiting for my desk to come from the old house before I could set up my computer again.
We are nearly done moving, but it's been a slow process, and ( Read more... ) -
I Have No Idea What to Title This
These past ten days or so, I've gone from happy to melancholy, relieved to frustrated, able to find just that smidgen of energy to utter exhaustion (both mentally and physically.)
I don't want to be negative, but moving sucks. It really sucks. I don't ever want to do this again. Thankfully, Mom and Dad have come over to the house with us to help ( Read more... ) -
Moving, Cooking, Being Busy
Today I finally took a day just to "be." I did very little except relax, which is what my body has been begging for. The last few days have been busy with moving concerns, taking Mom to the grocery store, ferrying Jonathan to and from work, and cooking dinner. I don't mind the cooking, but my back is spent by the time we're done, so cleaning up ( Read more... ) -
I Haven't Abandoned Ship
Howdy, All! I have been soooo busy, I simply haven't had time to get here to share anything. Each day I've thought, "I need to get on LiveJournal, but something always pulls me away.
I promise to be back to read your posts and to share things happening here, too. Please be patient with me. It's been a whirlwind of activity around here.
Love, Y ( Read more... ) -
A Small Break, Good News, and Therapy
Sorry, All. I took a small break from LiveJournal, but I'm still around. I just needed some time to take care of matters concerning Jon's job search and my own health.
I'm very happy to share with you that Jon finally has a job! The process has been very difficult for him. He applied at many different places, from low-paying jobs to high-paying ( Read more... ) -
Stuffed Tomato Recipe
I thought I'd share my stuffed tomato recipe since I mentioned it just a moment ago in my post. These are approximate measures since I never actually measure anything.
I usually like to use veal in this recipe because it's lighter and healthier, but veal is so gosh darn expensive! Even ground beef is expensive. This time I made them with ground ( Read more... ) -
Walking, Food, Job Search, and Tidbits
I haven't been here in several days because my lower back and hips have not allowed me to sit for long on a desk chair. While I've been away, I've been working on strengthening my hip, back, and leg muscles which, when they are stronger, should help to hold my hips in the proper alignment to give me relief from the pain and ease the pinched nerve ( Read more... ) -
A Spider, A Freeze, and A Tree Removal
Hey, Friends! How are you today? I hope you all are doing well.
It's been very cold today. The night before last we were under a freeze watch for possible sub-freezing temperatures, so I covered the roses. Last night we actually had a freeze warning, so I just kept the roses covered and protected from the day before. The last couple of days ( Read more... ) -
Made the Most of the Day
My version of a busy day may not seem like much to some folks, but for me the day was pretty full. It started off as it usually does with taking my thyroid medication, making my bed, giving Polo his special yummies, grabbing a cup of coffee, and sitting down with my Bible to have devotions. Devotions are a time when I read a passage in the Bible ( Read more... ) -
Word for Today: Determination
We had a lovely warm day today, albeit a bit windy. While the sun was out, we picked up large twigs and sticks in the yard for Uncle so it's easier for him to mow. We had a look at the tree by my bedroom window, and it's still alive. Miraculous, since it took a hard strike. So the chances of it blowing over in another storm are not as great as ( Read more... )
