She Was Lucky

Today I worked at the old home place mowing grass, My sister heard the old wonderful no muffler lawn mower a block away and walked passed going to the dollar general that is a couple blocks away. After little while she came back and was yelling at me at the fence, I yelled over the mower because I knew if I turned it off the spark plug would be fouled out and I was almost done mowing. I went by her house as I was leaving the neighborhood and she told me what happened. As she turned to leave my fence she fell on a vine and face planted in the mud on that road. When I looked up she was walking away, I thought it was strange she was still right there. She was still wiping mud off her pants, asking me where did that water come from, was it sewer. I just looked at her , after a moment I asked "why would there be sewer water in the road? and since your nose was in the mud did it smell like sewer?" I had to tell her it was rain water so she would not freak out. She was lucky she did not break her nose, arm or leg. I swear she falls all the time and she is getting old. Anyways she wanted me to cut her shrubs/ trees, I got her loppers and made her pull the branch down as far as she could and I cut them. One limb I just could not get it all the way threw so Tony had pity on me and her, got out of the truck and cut it. Its nice to come home, so much drama back there in the old neighborhood. How was your day?

My day was very good mostly, with sun and warmer temps. I feel about 80% well today, best I have felt in nearly a week. I took Anne to the doc this morning and she is on antibiotics now.

@YrNemo those unsteady heaters would make me nervous.

@andriaperry Two are halogen, I don't understand why they can't stay still. Their legs seem to be shaky but however I supported them, they remained unsteady (drunk, those two!). The other one seems to have problem with ignition, some condensation in the pipe.

Not much drama here. Hubby is sick with something respiratory, but no fever. He needs to close a bank account tomorrow, even if I have to drive him there. I can't do it. I almost pushed him out the door to go swim for a bit because he's been sitting in front of the tube since Tuesday and I thought maybe he needed to get out. I thought maybe it's just allergies. While he was gone I worked on finances, did some easy food prep, did the dishes, and washed two loads of clothes. Tonight I've been here and at Virily. Wondering if it will survive long enough for me to get paid.

@andriaperry Hubby does feel better today, closed the bank account, and went swimming. I hope he's equally good tomorrow.

@andriaperry Oh, yes. I forgot to address the other question. No, Virily hasn't said anything about closing. They have made some site updates this week, my dashboard is recording more pennies every day, and perhaps if I keep at this pace I might earn enough to get paid in two or three more months. I hate the time investment, but I and many others believe there are problems on the site -- lots of bugs, lack of documentation, etc., and sites with such troubles often don't last very long. Time will tell. I back up everything and hope my effort won't be wasted. I've been able to reuse a lot of Niume posts and I have more to use. I also post new original stuff.

Are they talking about closing? I have had to give up blogging for pennies because I don`t have time. I hope your husband feel better soon.

It was pretty good. Sorry to hear about your sister falling on her face, in the mud! I started falling a few different times, my BP was up, that's why it happened. I'm always glad to get home, after going other places.

@andriaperry It's too bad someone can't separate them, so they can't bicker. I hope your sister is doing O.K., after this fall!

She would have smelled if it was sewer. She should be more careful, aging can become very dangerous to fall like she did.

@andriaperry She is still pretty young, but we are not all the same. You are surely stronger.

Well, I am glad your sister was alright. Doing OK here and seems that the real estate company will be able to get my house sold in May so by June I am coming home. Why does that sound like a song? Hope you have a sunny Friday.

@andriaperry I saw the chiropractor. I really messed up my back with the shopping I did. I'll be using the mobile cart in the future until I know I can do a full shopping without it.

I'm glad that your sister wasn't hurt, as you say - she was lucky. You seem to do a lot of physical labour, you must be very fit.
