Hello my friends, hope all is well for the holidays for those in the winter cold weather in the north have their autos ready, & your stocked up in a lot of firewood, & fuel for gens, cause it's going to get VERY cold in a few days, are you ready? I hope you all have a safe Merry Xmas & ready for next yr, MAY God be with each & every 1 of you & me, We all need each other in 1 way are another. I had to get that off my chest B-4 starting this post. I've had the F B I files on tv running & steamed me some chicken for lunch, (1st time using) I put it on for 15 mins in a inch of water & put it in the micro- wave turned it on & it dinged, I waited a few mins B-4 opening the lid cause of the steam it had in it. The chicken was done, it was falling off the bone it was 3 small thighs, I ate 2 & a 1/2 of them & have the rest on the counter covered, for a late snack. I took a shower after a short few hrs of peace & quite in the recliner while hubby was taking a nap in the bed My sugar #'s for the day isn't too bad but better than it has been, M-199, N-383, E-273. I'll do a F-acting shot B-4 I go to bed, & take my #'s in the morn. so that's that. My shower felt really good, cause I love my hot water I'll be in bed by 9 getting a few hrs in the bed, as my therapist said to get as much as I can, I don't feel bad body wise, I feel a little stronger than I have been. B-4 I took my shower I kept seeing mice stuffing a hole that was in the step up into the shower, I moved it & WHAT DID I SEE? yep you guessed it MICE this makes the 2nd nest I've found in a few days apart. This 1 had 7 babies & so did the other 1, well I got rid of them, thew them in the burn hole I have. so I've gotten rid of 14 babies & have glue boards down. I also have plugins that suppose to repel mice, hum?? since I've been home from the hosp, we have worked on this at every angle & we've caught most of them. So all in all, I'm not doing too bad, after 4 & a 1/2 mons of being out of the hosp, I'm walking a LOT better, my dizzy spells I was having seems to have gone away. I use to have to go to bed with ice water till just a few wks ago I stopped needing water during the night, I drink 16 oz in the morn during my morn routine with meds & stuff, then have my hot chocolate (my coffee) So how has your day been? did you get everything done you set out to do? did it go as you thought it would? Today was a great day to kill some mice & steam some chicken for the 1st time & it turned out great, lets chat.

@celticeagle My neighbor has cats but they aren't no help in getting as many mice as I have.

Yeesh. Mice. Good that you are getting rid of them. They are terrible. Especially this time of year. Glad you are having a good day. Onward and upward to you.

@2ndchances24 Mice can be tricky sometimes. The key is finding out how and where they are coming in and trying to close those things up. But trapping and snapping them works well too.

@porwest When we go to seal the cabin up we're going to put some alum around the bottom of the OUTSIDE of it to keep them out.

I agree on the mice ordeal, & I'm just thrilled I have managed to get as good as I am since I got out of the hosp.

I am so thrilled to know you are doing good today Gayle. I had wondered and thought about you all day today if you are well. I got out of here and walked at least. I am not going to stress about Christmas..we ain't doing anything and no special food. But am grateful to have food. I am glad your chicken turned out good. Glad you are stable now with the sugars today. You will no doubt be staying in for Christmas too. A very Happy Christmas to you and Husband too.

@2ndchances24 Really nice to see you had a good day on this day! Sorry about the mice though! I love hot showers too. It's just a nice, relaxing, peaceful time while under the water. My day has been ok thank you. I managed to get some stuff done around the house. I have a lot of things to do but I am going to try hard not to feel overwhelmed and just be proud of myself for what I have done today.

Thank you sugs, I'm working on the mice, they're NOT going to win if I can help it & so far I have the UPPER hand on them, I got all the 1's out of the cabin & now I'm working on getting them out of the dog pens eating up all their food that's costing more than it should & I'm tired of feeding the mice.

@VivaLaDani13 I'm working on the 2nd dog pen but the weather isn't helping me when it's nippy & they survive in the trap a few days cause if they're alive & turned loose they just end up coming back.

I'm not good about killing critters. I guess that's one reason why I have the two brat cats. They are always checking out the apartment for anything that shouldn't be here and so far in the past 3 years there hasn't been neither mouse or person who shouldn't be here. I got my whole chicken, then yesterday when I went to the store, the one we went to had chicken legs for less than half price, so I grabbed them...cheap eating for sure!!! I have enough for at least 3 meals the way I've been eating, so that makes my cost less than a dollar a meal!!! I'm not going to complain-except that the brats always sit and beg for samples. Plus the left over chicken always gets made into chicken noodle soup with carrots and broccoli. I eat on that for three or four days. What is left gets frozen for later on. OH, I also got a can of peanuts for the squirrel that has taken up eating the cat food that I put out for the orange and white one that comes by for a meal. I'm sure that the tree squirrel will be happy with the peanuts. I couldn't figure out why the water and all the cat food was disappearing so fast until I saw him out side chowing down on the dry cat food. When I lived in Montana I used something to discourage them from coming in the house, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. It worked really well and it wasn't used kitty litter. I'll work at remembering.

Chicken stew sounds good for tomorrow dinner. & freezing some for a later meal sounds good too. Cats are sponges for extra food, they aren't stupid.
