Not a Good Week

David is catching on to when I'm going to have a flare and what to do to make it better. I keep telling him I'm fine but he knows I'm not. So lately he has been taking care of the cooking, feeding the puppies and doing a load of laundry for me. Yeah, y'all might as well know I'm not doing good. I had a really bad flare Friday last week and it's been going downhill since then. Heating pads, sleep aids, Tylenol, Aspercreme, baby oil for my dry skin patches, and resting on the sofa or in bed all day is what I've been doing. Everything hurts and it won't stop and the one thing I hate is that I have zero energy. So the only thing I can do is let this take its course. I have been keeping up with blogs as fast as they come out and I picked up a couple of new ones too. Keeping busy does help a little. But I can only do so much. So If I didn't get to your blog please know I will get to it as soon as I have the energy.

Lucy has been a great nurse. She keeps close to me constantly. If I move she moves, she's like my shadow. She always looks at me with a worried look on her face. I somehow think she is hoping I don't die anytime soon because daddy is not good at taking care them unless mommy steps in and reminds him to feed or let them out every two hours. Yeah, David is a terrible daddy but not all the time.

Well, I'm going to go lie down with my heating pads. I took my Tylenol and was waiting for it to hit me. So, all ya'll have a magical day.

Wet Dog Wednesday

YES!! It's Finally Monday

The last six days were quite busy for me. In between the baking, cooking, trying to keep the house clean, laundry, and watching Coco Gauff at the Wimbledon courts and the women's soccer games, (Go USA Women!!) I actually had a little time to get in some rest. Yes, and I also took a butt load of pictures that will be posted later. Most of them are of Lucy.

I took one of the new kitchen baking rack for most of my baking shit. It's about 54 inches(137centimeters) and I love it. Bare with me people. I was taking it with a small camera that I wasn't used too. I had to turn the camera to get the best picture possible and it was off balance looking. So it's a bit wonky crooked looking. 

Every holiday, like July 4th, David and I go out to eat breakfast early. We both noticed this area when we were on our way to IHop and I asked David to stop when we were going to pass it. He turned off the street onto the side road near the high school and I was able to take a shot of all these flags. David said it's called the Field of Honor. People purchased the flags for $30 each in honor of first responders, active military members or a veteran. There are thousands of these flags in perfect rows with the name of the honored person on a bright yellow ribbon attached to the pole. The flags are 3 by 5 feet on a 7 and a half foot tall pole. So humbling to see all of this.

Lucy sleeping with her fav blanket and pillow.
She is studying to be human for her next life.

The fireworks weren't quite as bad for Lucy. She's not the type to be cuddled so the Thunder Vest would be a waste of money on her. She went with me outside to watch the fireworks and she sort of got used to the loud booming since we live close to the golf course. That's where the fireworks are set off so yeah, it gets pretty loud where I am. But, she wasn't shaking as much when she figured out the boom was associated with the flashes and spray of sparkles. She kinda liked it. When we went inside after the fireworks were over she was jumping at me, really happy like she wanted more.

David and I did something over the weekend. We made a pact that when the puppies are gone, which will happen in a few more years, we will put up a styrofoam backing and put a map of Texas up on the TV room wall over the styrofoam. Once a week we will throw a dart at it and wherever the dart hits we will go there for a weekend or a week. Whichever feels good. I said I don't care if my back is hurting or not we are going to see the whole state if possible. then the whole country when we run out of places here in Texas. So we are going traveling when he retires in a few years.

Y'all have a magical day.

Religion in a Nutshell

Silly Sign Saturday

Oh Lawd, He's Gone Stupid Crazy

President  Orange Idiot went off the rails yesterday with his speech. David was listening while he was Instagramming a couple of friends on his laptop when he yelled really loud for me to come quick. So I got up and was in the room just in time to hear about the Revolutionary troops taking back the airports. Yeah, I said airports. You have to really hear this for yourselves.

Sorry that I have to put this on my blog so early in the morning but I had to let all y'all hear this. You can turn it off at 4:25. But it's funny because the crowd that is cheering him aren't sure if they should cheer or not at certain areas of his speech because Prez Dimwit went nuts. Yeah, Spanky Dimwit went off the rails and started adlibbing history as he knows it to be true and getting two different wars mixed up with something that never happened. Lawdy Lawd, he needs to be impeached for the crazies. The man is not all there. You look at some of the pictures of him recently and it looks like he's off in la-la land like 90% of the time. It's time to do something before he pushes the red button thinking the British have taken over the airports again and are coming for him through the rockets red glare.
I was on Twitter and you really have got to read some of these tweets. Funny as shit!

Happy 4th of July
