Granny's gone and done it again

[microchick]

Lord knows I have more than enough inflammation. I've cut back a lot but decided I'm pretty miserable if I eliminate it. We don't do candy but baked goods are too hard to give up when you reach a certain age it's like. Okay, I'm almost 70 do I want to spend the next 20 years (If I'm Lucky) not eating things I enjoy?

Right, like I keep eliminating food that's not good for me. Pretty soon not much left but salad...

And I got the rest of the fencing up around the barnyard.

This is where I plan to build the lean-to. So I will have a place to keep my transport cages out of the weather.

Cap, you make me feel lazy. Well done. I know how hard those wood posts are to set.

I always tell the doctor that before all is said and done I'll be out in the back yard grazing on grass and twigs.

I figure cutting back without eliminating is the way to go. There are foods that I can't eat because of my IBS and absence of a gall bladder (fie on the doctors who say if you have your gall bladder removed you can eat whatever you want). I don't eat much red meat and when I do it's ultra lean so it's tough as old shoe leather and no fun to eat, eat plenty of poultry and fish and eat meatless one day a week. If I want a cookie by golly I'm eating a cookie.

How you feeling these days Cap?

And I got a nice card from Wishing. Thank you. Really pretty.

You're welcome, Pert. Glad to hear your well is back up and running. We got RAIN today. Hallelujah!

Full of sighs and rolling eyes. She’s trapped between teenager and little girl. There are a lot of big feelings in this house. She prefers chatting with friends online to hanging out with us, which is a totally normal thing. It just all seemed to happen so quickly.

Oh, I don't envy her going through all that. I bet she will end up being very close with you.

whats the odds of 2 things breaking at the same time ? I should of asked for that old radiator back.

A good, trustworthy mechanic is golden! I think you should ask for recommendations from the guy who fixed your mower. You know, the one that LIKED you and was flirting with you. He probably can recognize a good mechanic!

 

[microchick]

You couldn't pay me enough to go through those painful teenage years again.

All you can do is be there for her when she needs you. It isn't something we all haven't gone through and lived to moan about it in later years.

Really. I don’t miss it much. At holidays I do then I buy some snacks to have around. Not to feel joint pain and inflammation is worth it. They have recipes for almost everything now. Fathead pizza dough, bacon, eggs, steak,hamburger. What I love is I don’t obsess about what I am going to eat next. Never hungry, never crave anything. It is all a trade off. It would be much harder if I had all the junk laying around. Lately with all the stress I really want to crunch. I am even finding the fasting easy now. I have more energy. I have had chronic fatigue and joint and muscle pain my whole life.

They want to have a dog with the kids. The youngest is 5 years old.

Yeah, I hear that a lot. What they don’t realize it is one more creature to take care of.

Pixie and I are loving the view tonight.
