Cloudy With A Chance Of Rest

Last night I had to stay up late to make sure I finished washing and cooking the greens, poke salad, and I took a nice scalding hot soaking bath afterwards. Before I knew it, it was already 2 am. This morning its cloudy out but I know its still hot and the humidity makes it feel even hotter than it is, we are waiting for the gulf storm to get here, whether it will be a tropical storm or not we will get rain and a lot of it. So before I am trapped inside while God waters this area, I will work but in my own backyard, well I should say the dogs backyard, and mow it down but its not to bad and I have "no" grown up bushes to cut down. Even though I go out to work that does not mean that I neglect the housework, I still cook all my meals and hand wash the dishes, do the laundry and normal stuff. But I think I am one of a kind, since reading a few peoples posts some cannot keep the house clean and not work. I hope I continue the way I am, if its Gods will. I have to say that with all the work I have done the past week, I am not as sore as I thought I would be. A quick funny story and I will stop rambling. Yesterday I stopped at my sisters house before coming home, I was getting ready to leave and she walked me to the car. I gathered some trash and out it in her trash can. I felt something bite me on the back, probably a mosquito, and I asked her to hit my back to make it leave me alone. She took that boney little fist and punched me in the back as hard as she could! My body flew forward and I couldn`t get mad I just laughed and said " I meant with a flat hand like to kill it! not kill me." I know she did this that purpose, her defense was that I told her to do it. 30 years ago I would have pushed her down. Okay. Go have a wonderful day!

@amadeo You are welcome. I learned that when I was taking care of a leukemia patient, he had to have blood often.

I agree with your sister. It is muggy here too, but the garden is now tilled

@andriaperry Soon, after last year I am very low on green beans. But I could not get them in and canned with taking care of dad. Planting a little extra to start getting built back up. I try to stay about a year ahead with my vegetable canning. Jellies I dont worry about as many things can be used for that

That teach you to kill the mosquito on your own or at least to chase it away on your own instead of asking your sister to kill it for you.

@andriaperry - buy her a bottle of super glue and as a joke hand it to her so if she breaks when you push her down, she can glue herself back together.

She is now 50 years old and if she fell she would break and I would NEVER hear the end of that, so I will let it go this time.

Yes, you work very hard, Andria:) If I asked my sister to hit a mosquito, she's start an argument, why it wasn't the right thing to do, at the moment! lol She tries to pick a fight, about everything imaginable:)

@andriaperry My sister is always looking for something to quarrel about! I refuse to let her do this, at our home.

I just hope you continue the way you have been handling your tasks. Some people give priority to some tasks and neglect others

Funny story about your sister. Here’s one about mine. When I was only 21 and pregnant with my first son and still lived at home with my parents, my sister thought she found mouse poop in her room and thought there had been a mouse in there. So while I was at a store, I happened to see a fake mouse that looked real but it had a red nose. It was $2 so I bought it and I put it on my sister’s bed, as a joke. Later, I was in my room and I heard her yell “DAD!!!!!!!” I came out into the hallway at the top of the stairs and asked what was wrong. Just then, she noticed it’s red nose and figured out what I had done. She was so mad, she came out of her room and pushed me down the stairs! I was 7 months pregnant! But my feet somehow ran ahead of my body which was starting to fall down the stairs and I managed to make it to the bottom still standing up. Yikes! It was scary but funny. Anyway, I hope you do get some rest. I like how you worded that “A Chance of Rest” I like those rare days when there’s a chance of rest.

I did some work on the crown molding last night and I am feeling it in my shoulder today. I will be happy when I finally see the sports medicine doctor.
