Thu, 14 Aug 2008 14:50:47 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1241667 Well, I have my Dr. appt. this morning and I am fasting because I haven't had blood work in ages and I want to get some done, so better to be prepared.  Hubby is going with me and going to pick me up in about 20 mins. Been pretty quiet here, other then raining all the time and the temp... Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:42:51 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1220761 Not much is going on here, the weather is the same, rainy and it is 48 degrees out right now at 10 in the morning.  This isn't July weather and one of the wettest on record!  The rivers are starting to flood and I haven't been able to get outside to pick berries yet, I hope to this... Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:14:02 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1214836 Well, just eating breakfast and waiting for hubby to bring the car back from work so I can drive him back to work and then drive eldest son to Dr office.  Eldest will need surgery on his knee and we are praying that it healed up nicely and that the surgery will be a little and not big event.... Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:46:17 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1207938 It is cold here in Fairbanks.  I am just about ready to bake some sourdough oatmeal bread that I am making and I am going to start some starter for sourdough rye bread today.  I'm going to head out into the back yard and look for berries they are ripe already!  I'm so surprise... Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:47:05 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1204083 I'm not sure where to begin, typing is hard, every word is hard to type with my fibro today. Had to kill a mad moose the other day, it killed a goose and was after me first earlier in the day, we hate to do stuff like that.  The poor moose didn't have her calf and she had bite mark... Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:29:05 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1179381 I haven't written in a bit and thought I would get a few things down.  Lately, life has been odd to say the least.  Sister is going through some terrible stuff and I wish I could help her more.  On my home front sheesh. First we had a few chickens awhile ago get eaten, then a... Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:12:57 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1155994 Well, hubby started his bike riding trip to the Canadian border on Sat.  It was a rainy and nasty day for the start, but off he went with a smile on his face and all wrapped up in his biking rain gear. I stayed home and the rain made my fibro act up as well as my knees and hands, but all w... Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:56:25 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1146956 I started to move around more since May and I have lost 17 pounds so far.  I'm glad that the extra movement is doing so well.  We don't have a scale here so I had to step on the one at the Dr. office when hubby went for his appt.  He is doing swell too, he has lost over 20 ... Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:42:23 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1146949 Yesterday was a very hard day.  I barely got out of bed and I guess it was time to slow down.  At least today is better, I had a plan but that didn't work so I am going to do another plan for the day.  I will see if that one works.  Water plants, sew, find my brain and hrm. ... Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:39:10 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1121511 Couldn't sleep last night and just going over emails and going to let the chickens and geese out into their pen.  I just want to relax today and hopefully I will be able to do that. I did such a stupid thing the other day.  I was vaccuming the stairs and normally I vaccum from the... Sat, 14 Jun 2008 09:30:20 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1117769 I mowed some of the yard yesterday as it was getting to long for the geese to even eat and we have been having rain everyday so the grass went wild.  The geese are all in one pen now and they are doing okay together. I'm still tired and going to do the dishes and hopefully the fish tan... Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:36:23 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1112772 Seems like every day I have been doing more and more. Also, everyday I saw to myself I will take it easy today and then something happens and even more has to be done! ARGH!  I'm so tired and achy, my whole body is finding muscles I didin't know I had and they are telling me to stop mes... Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:04:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1094538 Just tired out, I've been over doing it for awhile now and my body just wants to rest.  I've been sleeping okay, you know the sort of sleep that you are half awake and half asleep type.   So I'm not sure if that counts as sleep or not, I wake up still tired and sore. ... Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:44:58 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1086124 As I finished up writing the last journal entry it started to hail! NOT little hail either and the geese are outside.  I quickly ran outside on the porch to see what they were doing and they where standing out in the hail, being pummeled. I put on shoes and called to them and grabbed a hug... Thu, 29 May 2008 14:39:41 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1086077 I had a terrible migraine yesterday and was just downstairs to try and get some things done when I decided to check on the ity-bity's (the tiny goslings, 11 of them) I named them that to have a way to talk about them and not the other babies in the older group. Anyway, I decided to check on... Thu, 29 May 2008 14:17:32 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1083826 I have a migraine today and I need to get things done, argh.  I will try and do a few things before it gets to bad and I have already taken all the meds I can for the day for the pain. Take care and if blue bird reads this:  I hope your day is going well and I probably will not be ans... Wed, 28 May 2008 15:30:41 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1081379 I'm so tired!  I went to bed yesterday at 6 pm and pretty much slept until 9 am this morning.  My body aches and I have been working in the yard and with the geese. I want to do a water change for the fish tanks today, however, my fingers and hands are still hurting and my skin bu... Tue, 27 May 2008 15:48:19 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1068571 I am just pooped out today.  Yesterday I got the whole down stairs vaccumed and then hubby called for me to pick him up with the car and we would go get stuff to protect the outside birds with. We got a kiddy pool for the geese and hubby dug a hole in the ground to make it ground level and... Wed, 21 May 2008 15:29:09 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/28006/journal/1066375 Seems I ranted and raved and now I feel worse because I did.  sheesh.  Oh well, sometimes I need an attitude adjustment.   So it seems now that the hubby will not be able to get his bike fixed until June and he made an appt at the bike shop, they wanted him to leave his bike ther...
