Granny's gone and done it again

Rant over. I feel better now.

That was hardly a rant, Sweetheart. You need to say those things to your family. Resentments will fester over time. They always do. You don't have to be mean or accusing, but let them know how you feel. Have a heart to heart.

I guess I’ve never received help with anything I wanted to do. Even with my mom, my sister’s needs always felt bigger. My sis once wanted a $1500 pup and got it. But when I first got chickens years ago the deal was that I had to come up with feed money. For the longest time they lived in an old dog pen until I could afford something better. I’m always supposed to help everyone else but no one bothers to help me. But it’s okay. Normally I’m good at keeping it inside.

Doing alright. Trying to keep my dog alive. He's on his last legs.

Ah I am sorry. I kept my last one alive making her slippery elm balls

That needs a little more explanation, h2o!

Chicken chores! Back in a bit.

I'm trying to detox from all the crap I ate for Christmas that I'm not used to eating, like cookies and more cookies and...well you get the picture.

I find myself going to the suckerware cannister where I stored them, opening the lid to look at them and feeling physically queasy. Yet I find myself reaching for one.....did that twice today before I slammed down the lid and told myself to STOP IT NOW!

And so I did. But man they were good! I hadn't baked a lot of cookies for ages. Like maybe 10 years or more but this year I did it. I think the sad shape of things in the country with covid had me grasping for normalcy and what is more normal than baking cookies for Christmas?

So now I have to get all this out of my system. No sugar, no processed. Small servings, low fat, low sodium. Gonna go out in the yard and eat twigs and grass. Maybe nibble a bit of hickory bark. But I DO feel better when I eat healthier.

@grannyhatchet, how are your ankles? I hope they are better because now mine are hurting! I think I telepathically transferred your pain to my ankles/feet. That's okay. you need a break

Is everyone here going to take the shot for covid ?

Not me. I don’t take the flu shot. Hep b vaccine is what messed me up to begin with.

I think this year, many of us are looking for normalcy. You know, you could ship all your cookies this way. That way temptation is out of your house. LOL

Thanks Julie. But as much as I care about my old dog I won't be messing with his ballls. He seems to be a little better today. Eating and drinking good.
