These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.
Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.
Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.
Cubby Hope you're feeling better soon. It's that time of year again, it seems like once school starts, so do the colds and flu. I try to stay clear of anyone who's sick since I'm highly vulnerable right now, but sometimes they don't even know they're ill.
Only two more chemos...YAY! Sorry to hear about the stomach bug. Also, a good thing you and your wife stayed away from the family get-together! I just caught a cold from my daughter, who was here for a week from Colorado. She picked something up from the plane, it seems. Must be stuff is going around.
Glad you are doing, if not well, at least managing. Thinking of you and yours, and praying as well. Hopefully these things will be a distant memory soon.
In Montana, I live in a three floor walkup... on the third floor. No room for a cow! (even if it walks up those 42 steps by itself.) I "stock up" little by little as my back can only handle so much weight in my bright orange backpack (to be seen by traffic). I'm only 5 blocks from a grocery store.
I buy on sale as often as I can. One copes and is grateful.
In Thailand we have 7/11s everywhere and fresh markets. Totally different way of eating.
Cubby We've recently talked about getting a second freezer big enough for half a beef, but we don't know where we would put it. When we ordered the pork, they had a sign up for a half a beef, fully processed for $6.50 per pound.
We've been talking about buying a quarter beef for our fridge-freezers (one in the kitchen, one in the garage.) We sold our regular freezer a few years back because we are gone for three months in the winter. If our power was to go out while we were gone, we'd have a mess to clean up when we got home. This happened to my SIL one year. We have a generator, but not one that automatically turns on when needed. I think we could eat a quarter beef by mid-January. And the burger is so much better tasting!
I posted a question in the Newsfeed earlier about ways to make a few bucks online. I looked into one (the only) response and gave it a try. I earned about two and a half bucks! Of course, I didn't spend much time there today, but hopefully I can set a bit of time aside most days to go in and do my thing. I think it's going to help out, but I doubt I'll get rich anytime soon.
The way things are tight now, every little bit helps, and I'm grateful for the reply. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm always eager to listen.
