Ugh. Today and tomorrow, then three days off. So ready for it! It has rained so much the last couple of days we are having flooding issues. I came through my usual route at 5:20 am and didn't get a tire wet, thirty minutes later, Lou calls and tells me the road is under water. :o And it's supposed to rain more today.

Ya know, I feel pretty great this morning. Still a lil stiff and sore, but great none the less.

I slept amazingly well, all 12 hours of it :)

Went and bought APB one of Christmas presents. Gonna wrap it here in a few as he's already said (and his mom warned me) he'll search for it. I told him if he peeks or unwraps it I'm taking it back and buying something for myself.

Put up my Christmas tree and my animals stockings. Yes, I am one of THOSE people. Lol

Going to get my fridge this afternoon!! I've never been so excited for an appliance in my life! I guess this is what almost 30 feels like. Lol :)

When you said you're one of THOSE people I wasn't thinking about the stockings for the animals.  I was thinking your one of THOSE people who put up the tree so early. 

Grandma and I both don't want to mess with it until well into December.  So we don't.

Dad is bad sick again. Can't breathe well. He stayed home. Mom stayed with him.

I'm at church and I just found out that Olivia has Pheumonia and was admitted to the hospital.

I have friends who've had their trees/decor up for almost 3 weeks now. We put ours up usually on Thanksgiving day, or that weekend.

Lord.

Went to town.  Got a tire checked out on the TB that had a slow leak...had a rock poke a hole in it.  Plugged that.

Banked.

Got little stuff at Tractor Supply, didn't get part of what I started too cause I erroneously thought it was a tad cheaper at Rural King where I was going to go....but it wasn't...bah.....so I only got one bag at RK to tide me over till later....

Went to Martinsville to RK, got a bunch of layer crumbles, stocked up some while they're on sale....  Total of 1,580 pounds of feed in the TB... :smirk2:

Got a piece of rope to tie on the pump in the cistern too....

Went to the church....of course I lollygagged around too much to be there when they were they wiring the pump up....and I would have had him attach the rope while he was down in there....  But, since he wasn't, I aimed to do it myself...  Not the best idea...

I assumed since the other two short people that had been in there could get out, I could too....bad assumption.....

I got in there, and could not get out.  I struggled to get out a couple times, couldn't do it....  Prayed to God to give me a cell phone signal (Thank God I took it with me into the hole because I was going to use the flash on it as a flashlight.) and called home...busy signal....  Prayed to God for more signal and called my sister, and she came and brought be a bucket to stand on...and I still couldn't get out....lol  We were trying and trying to think of everything....  Finally I just hauled off and jumped straight up (from standing on the bucket) and that got me high enough to get out.....broke the bucket, but I was free.  LOL

I felt like "Baby Jessica."  lol

Then finally scrounged around and got that tank of water dumped in there, turned it on, and eureka, thank God, it works....  I was just going to crawl back in there and die if it didn't. lol  But I think it's alright.  BUT, there's always a black cloud in front of every silver lining you know....the men's toilet is not working right for some reason, water not coming in properly...so I'll have to investigate that further....  Otherwise, I think we're back in business.  Just gotta haul more water and fill the cistern the rest of the way up tomorrow.

Lord what an evening...

Hiyas.

Cold rainy wonderful day today.  Cleaned the church. Then decided an older couple who I talked with on Sunday that wasn't really going to have much of a Thanksgiving, needed one.  I think it musta been God, seriously, cause I never knew I could make an entire turkey dinner in one afternoon.  Complete with 2 pies.  It was a suprise & the response text I got when they received it made this birthday possibly the best ever.  Not really cause they responded but because it truly is better to give than receive. God is so good!  Good way to start being 32. :)

I tried a new recipe tonight.  Red curry paste mixed with brown sugar & just a bit of brown sugar & coconut milk makes an awesome coating on chicken, baked. Served with roasted veggies.  Nathan isa working 12hr days so his check isn't too short. He worked in the cold rain.  I have the best husband.  Had some fresh cookies when he walked in but some day I really want to bless him.

Tomorrow, we get to sleep in. No school!

That post kind of all ran together, sorry.

Yay Heather!

Mel, hang in there. I wish you had your phone.  I'd call you & be whatever u need me to be at the moment.

Sethers, you sure that's what that picture is? Looks like a horse trough/baptismal tank brother... :)
