A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
I took jing to the A.N.N.A. Wellness Center yesterday. The veterinarian agreed someone did something to her to make her fat. She is neutered so no kittens to worry about. She is my new cat now and she seems to be losing some of the belly weight. I think she likes it here. War Chest Wednesday! A prompt from a previous challenger... Write about your fears...fears that you have overcome, and fears which still exist within you. FEARS OH MY! The biggest one I have never totally conquered is driving in heavy traffic. Driving in large shopping areas during heavy traffic hours is just not my thing. I can do it, but I don't like it and avoid it as often as possible. I also don't like going to appointments totally alone. Going to the Doctor or Dentist alone is not a good thing but I have to do it often. Last January I had a Doctors appointment in downtown Erie. My son drove me there I was so glad. In the last 20 years I've been in cars that have been run off the road 10 times. Needless to say, I am paranoid about automobiles and driving. ![]() Seems odd since I have handled many horses that are 1500 lbs. or more with out a qualm. Jumping fences was like flying, with a special horse friend, also not a problem. Of course, I'm never alone with a horse. ![]() Oh! One other fear I can share. I am afraid of the dark. This one I control. It's ancient, probably in my DNA. Hah! Maybe good for a short story. ![]() What to say when people voice evil ideas? Not exactly a fear but the idea, that if I protest, they will retaliate can raise thoughts of flight. Well keep on keepin on, fear or not to fear...... |
