Not At All Well

 I have a really bad headache and so will take today off. Catch up with you all tomorrow, I hope.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Not Feeling Well

 The day started out wonderfully. Lots of energy, got lots done. Even managed to get out for a little bit.

Now however all I want to do is sleep (and I still have to get supper on the table as well as wait for a text). I am queasy, and just feeling slightly blah. I am hoping to hold out until after supper, and at least get the yogurt chilling and later draining. But I wonder if that will happen. Maybe the chilling, but not sure about the draining. 

I wonder if I managed to pick something up while shopping yesterday. Mind you if it is a touch of something like the flu, I don't think it would have shown up in a day. Maybe it is just that I had a very restless sleep last night, and since I don't nap (if I do my sleep at night is very bad) the tiredness is catching up with me.

This has been the worst year for me feeling blah in a very long time. I hope this is the last of whatever I seem to be catching. As Harvey says perhaps I should not run so fast (LOL).

There is always tomorrow to continue on my decluttering and getting the sewing/craft room straightened out even more.

Off to visit with some of you and then get supper started.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Uggg

 

Not feeling at all well. Be back tomorrow I hope.

God bless.

Not At All Well

 

Not at all well. Headache, sinus' are plugged, stomach churning, slight fever and I ache all over. Hopefully better tomorrow. 

Heading to bed early tonight.

Everyone have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Midweek And The Last Week Of August

 

It has been a dark and very cool day. That is probably a good thing all told as the fact is I seem to be coming down with something and have not been able to get my smaller list of household tasks and fun things as completed as I would like. 

I couldn't even weave today as it is so dark even with the lights on. I may end up getting a light to plug in and set up to use by the loom when the weather is like this. 

I did get the peppermint infused oil started, the white clover salve made, and the saskatoons made into pie filling (since that turned out I am going to use last years blueberries and make some more for the freezer). 

I may go out and wipe down the outside furniture and call my day done. 

I really can't get sick as we leave on our get away in a little less than two weeks and I want to be able to hike and see all that the Cypress Hills has to offer. I also can't get sick as the garden is coming fast and furious and needs to be processed as much as possible over the next bit of time. I am also a bit worried as Covid is once again rearing its ugly head in our area. More and more cases are being reported. I don't need to catch that again and so when we are out and around others I will definitely be masking once again

The good (perhaps only good thing) about feeling blah is that I do slow down and rest between tasks. 

I purchased something online today to use with my FoodSaver vacuum sealer. I store a great deal of dry goods in canning jars and there have been a few times where I was unable to use the items up before they became "old" tasting. The item I bought is an attachments that will pull the air out of the jars and seal them. I am hoping that will help cutting down with waste. It will also make storing things like dehydrated fruit chips and veggies so much easier. 

Supper is going to be very easy tonight. I will be making Chicken a la King and since it has loads of extra veggies in it (diced onion, diced celery, and frozen peas) I should not have to make any sides. 

Off to visit as many of you as I can before supper is ready.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Playing Catch Up And Paying For It

 

Since coming home from Kris's place and the second trip to the city, I have pretty much been going steadily.

The cherries are all picked now.

These are from the second tree. After weighing them we managed to get 5 lbs. so there will be more than enough for some jam (to be made tomorrow, and perhaps another batch of cherry pie filling (though I will have to see how much Minute Tapioca I have). 

My infused oils are working there way to perfection on my sunny window sill. 

And dehydrating is going full blast. 

I have also been weaving, and knitting trying to stay in the cool of the house.

However we were out picking those cherries yesterday, and man even with a hat on it was hot and sunny. I think I may have been out a bit too long, or did not have enough rehydration happening. 

Now I feel like crap, which made grocery shopping today loads of fun (not!!) and trying to get anything but the basics done a bit of a problem. 

When the sun is setting I will go out and water my plants, wearing my hat and taking a bottle of water with me. Then pretty sure I will be hitting bed early.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Saturday Roundup

 

Sorry folks not much of a roundup today. I had hoped to have at least a couple of finished projects/goals to share with you. I am not really feeling well today and so have actually gotten very little done. I haven't even completed my household tasks for today. Perhaps by tonight I will feel a bit better and at least get those household tasks completed. 

I have spent more time on the computer than is healthy, but I did print out some recipes to try, between bouts of severe stomach pains (and you all probably know what happens with that). Most are meatless or using cheaper cuts of chicken and beef. I hope to try them out next month as this month is already planned. 

Off to have a bit of a lay down. I will try and get over and visit you all off and on over the course of the evening.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Sunday Ramblings

 

It has been a strangely quiet day here on the old homestead. Harvey woke up feeling not very well and now all I want to do is get supper started, eaten, cleaned up (well hopefully), a hot bath and head to bed. 

I am tired, headachy, sinus' plugged, and queasy. Not really conducive to getting anything done. I did manage to get all that needed to be done this morning before whatever this is hit. The rest of the day has been spent knitting, curled up in my chair and trying to figure out if I would like a mug of ginger tea or not.....

Off to prepare a mug of that tea, and get the supper in the oven. I will try and visit if I start to feel better. If not I will see you tomorrow after hopefully sleeping this off.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
