Melody itches but she's still alive, in SHARING 465

So that's it then. I can look forward to another 5 days of being hungry and eating everything in sight. Ugh. That's not a good thing.

Just got home. I'm about to drag the old recliner out to the burn pile and set it ablaze along with some other trash that needs burned. Need to do that while it's cloudy and not so hot today.

I will still wear sunscreen though. I can't take a chance on getting any more sun.

[MsJennJenn]

Is it prednisone? One of my former bosses, was put on prednisone once for something, and he said he cooked a roast in the crock pot one day, and made a strawberry cake and ate both items in one sitting...LOL

[Lynx]

Morning y'all.  I slept till after noon.  No great feat, I didn't get to bed till after 4am, but still... Second shift + overtime = a tired guy.  Thank you God for a good night's... er, day's sleep.

[Melody]

No fun Mel!  Maybe you can drink stuff instead of eating stuff and it'll pacify without making you gain as much as eating would? 


Most my posts are about food, so I must be on steroids.  Although, I really don't eat as much as I talk about it... lol

I'm a little burnt out with cooking.  I know the fall/holidays will be here soon enough and I just want to enjoy the summer.  It's all I can do to keep my 2 tomato plants and pepper plants alive.  If I just get one tomato, I'll be happy. 

PF, how often do you water your tomatoes when it's 95°?  The last 2 weeks it hovered around 105° so we watered them every day enough that the leaves looked perky.  I'm afraid all the watering will make them not take deep enough roots though.  Is that logical?  Same with our green bell pepper plant. 

I'm not expecting a thing on our new blueberry bush as it was more of an investment.


And upon coming home from a short jaunt up north, we were greeted by the trail of a mouse. I'm back to hating this house.  I'm afraid that Nathan will just say there is no way to keep mice out and that is completely unacceptable. 

[Lynx]

Get a cat.  Little Nancia stays active and I haven't seen mouse #1 since she moved in.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Mellow, I water my tomatoes every day.

[mini]

And water early morning or late evening.  Not during the heat of the day.

[MsJennJenn]

And water early morning or late evening.  Not during the heat of the day.

We still aren't allowed to water between 10a-6p here.

[mini]

We always water about sunrise or sundown.  I think sundown is best, because the water will stick around longer with the cooler night temps.

Yep.

And I haven't eaten a whole roast and a cake...yet.

Today I'm doing good. Had a reasonable breakfast in the hospital cafeteria, and had ramen noodles for lunch. Making chicken and dumplins for dinner.

this message is brought to you partially by my cat Topher who insists on laying across my right arm and onto my stomach. crazy cat.

so i have to go pick my dog up tomorrow from Brandon's moms. she fed my dog a 17.6 pound bag of dog food in 2 weeks  that would normally lasst Whiskey about 1.5 months in my house  no wondering she's broken her housetraining!!!! i got permission from the head Dr at work and she will be a new resident in the Groom room until I can move in 2-3 months. Plus i get to see her every day and can easily go pick her up on the weekends for field trips instead of seeing her once every 2 weeks.

getting ready to head to church. not a fan of southern gospel music but it'll at least be interesting and a bit different.

[Roscoe]

Lord....another day closer to the weekend. Off to church....Bro Wilson just texted me and needs me to have something tonight. "Lord, be with thy servant and multiply the few crumbs I have into a meal for the church. Failing that, don't let them snore too loud..."

[Melody]

Thanks guys.  I'll keep watering them then, we usually do it at sundown. 

I cleaned out all my cabinets then went and bought mason jars.  I transfered anything in plastic or cardboard to a jar.  Nathan set some traps.  I on the other hand would think it much more sensible to just burn down the entire house... Outside, nothing really bothers me, unless it's literally on my body, and even then, only if I'm startled by it.  I'm not the girl afraid to kill a spider or snake.  But in my house... where my mumchkins sleep... no way.  Death sentence is the only option.

And no, Isaac... again.  I will never get a cat.  I only like other people's cats, and even then, mostly from across the room or in pictures.  *gag*  You see the latest research on cats?  How the bacteria associated with them is now linked to hormonal issues and even suicides? 

Plus, much to my dismay because 1. we've never had it before and haven't been around anyone who's had it until the actual bus ride to camp. 2. I just washed Hannah's hair Sunday night and did it Monday morning... when Hannah got to camp Monday, one of our chaperones said she had lice. Apparently there was an outbreak of it on the same bus last week, of which we do not ride nor were in town.  But another little girl does but apparently Hannah is the only one with it per the site of this chaperone. Now, this person is a grace builder in my life and I'm inclined to think she may also now be blind.  So, humiliated and in pain, Hannah was shampooed and thoroughly combed first thing.  Hannah's hair was tightly up, but down, it's to the back of her knee caps so I'm sure when they seen all that hair and was told she had "nits" there could have been a small panic.  She called bawling and wanting to come home.  It's a 7hr drive.  I told her to wait till the next morning and see how she feels.  She has chosen to stay despite random kids asking her if she still has lice.  Upon trying to figure out where in the world she could have gotten it, she was told CATS also can carry it.  Well, she was around a few cats of my SIL.  Though I've not heard that they have had an issue.

*sigh* 

[MelodyB]

Someone say "burn the whole house down"?



Can I help?!

[Lynx]

Odd.  We've had cats all my life growing up, with no bacteria, lice, hormonal or any other kind of trouble.  Fleas, now... one of the cats had a bad case of fleas one time.  But that's about it. 

[MelodyB]

Me too. Fleas only.

[Heather]

take me with you when you go Mel!!!!!

and as far as possible lice from a cat to human, you are more likely to get struck by lightening. lice are species specific. meaning if you SIL cat's did have lice they wouldn't be the same ones your child could have. they are not like fleas that are out for anyone. lol. if she did have nits and/or lice she would of had to gotten them from another human. just my  from the animal hospital

also I'll take my cats and whatever mumbo jumbo people are trashing them for now, they make me way too happy and keep me company when no one else will 

[Melody]

That just confirms my suspicions that really, she didn't have lice in the first place.  Some people aren't your enemies.  They just act like it. lol Lord bless 'em.

[Newsman]

Howdy!

*smothers a laugh* I wish I didn't understand what you were saying.

Mel, that stuff is icky. That's what Dad was on for months.  Seriously, be extra cautious when you're driving, please. My dad is one of the safest drivers I know, and was in three (yes THREE - all of them his fault) accidents in about a year because of that stuff. Please be careful. *worries* I'm a little twitchy now whenever someone says Prednisone.

[Chseeads]

Started picking green beans tonight....  Gotta go to bed so I can continue picking beans and breaking beans and canning beans and picking beans and breaking beans and canning beans and everything else on top of that.

[Lynx]

o.O  That's why my dentist said he stopped using nitrous oxide gas.  His patients kept having vehicle accidents on the way home. 

[taco_harvell]

Off to work!

[Roscoe]

Taco, you are mentally off anyway. Mel, My dad had to take prednisone when he had his kidney transplant. Sun was a major no-no for him.....I didn't know about it causing other issues though.

Last night went well. I felt delivered and the church responded, and no one was snoring. I consider that last to cause it to be a victory on my end. 

Back at work. And it is my Friday.
