Granny's gone and done it again

My concentration and memory are still bad. I drove down to the Love Shack, and measured the gate. By the time I drove back to the house, I couldn't remember that one number. It's pitiful. I do write down which glazes I use on each piece of pottery.

Hope you sell him soon.

I am going to a swap on the first Saturday in August to sell the rest of the chickens and some goats. Plus used equipment if I can fit it in.

ME!ME!ME! Can I come, too? I don't eat much or take up much space! My dream rock to add to my collection is also a Dugway Geode! If I could find it myself? Nirvana!

Missouri is sort of a no man's land when it comes to rock hounding. We have some geodes, Septarian (lightning) rocks and fossils near us. The whole north eastern part of the state used to be a saline sea but I think there are some worthwhile rocks to be found in the Ozarks.

Yes! Come on over. We also have a lot of fossils. This is dinosaur land. Plus leaves, bugs, little critters with a lot of legs and more, embedded in rocks.

Blue look up Herxheimer Reaction. It's very common in tick born illnesses when the antibiotics get in your system.

Lymenet.org is a great site and forum for lyme and co-infections information.

Lots of co-infections have similar symptomology. What I noticed first was fatigue, general flu like malaise, and a nasty bullseye rash that didn't itch. It burned. I got the rash a few weeks after I got a lot of bites while clearing some land. After a while I had problems with balance, brain fog, double vision and floaters. DH couldn't find any reason for the latter two other than the Lyme disease I was fighting.

I worked through treatment and my concentration was so bad that I bought a thick spiral notebook and wrote everything down. Sometimes, only a word or two that would trigger my memory but I found it recently and showed it to my husband. He was stunned and said he had no idea it had been that bad for me.

Tick borne diseased are one of those things that unless you go through it, you don't understand how bad it is.

The more you all talk of ticks, the more grateful I am we don't have them here in the valleys, that I know I'd. I used to go hiking in the Uintas here. Came home back in the 70's with a tick that had it's belly full on my upper front leg. I was freaking out. Creepy little buggers. Have a daughter that almost always got a tick when we went camping.

Two of the goats look like they may deliver any minute! Looks like I need to clean yet another stall!
Today I cut boards to make a wooden box to pile rocks in at the gate where Pippin dug his way out. I had piled rocks there, but he moved them last time he got out. This time I will add rocks and possibly concrete. I do hope to sell him soon.
I put up an ad on one of the groups on FB, but they threw my add out. All I did was post photos, and state" This is my buck. " and "These are some of his kids."
Danged Nazi censors.

I tried selling a fish and it wouldn't let me.

@microchick said::
Agree with contacting doc especially since it is Friday. Especially since a fever generally goes up at night. Makes me wonder if they have you on the right antibiotic. Did they by chance culture the wound when you were in the ER?
Me: nope

Mic: Rest and push fluids, agreed. Tylenol, or NSAID for the temp and crappy feeling.
Me: No NSAIDS for me, I akready take Meloxicam (Mobic).

Mic: Did they want you to ice pack or hot pack the wound?
Me: Nobody suggested either of those, but I do occasionally ice it, it does help, thanks.

Speaking of fish. Vranny..took some photos of my pleco. It's a BN Pleco. Bristle nose. I never noticed it before so I looked close after I looked up mibe. Some have a lot. My guy..or gal only has a couple on or by its nose. First photo is one from online.

I thought FB had a Marketplace section. That's how I almost got ripped off for $400 for firewood earlier this year.
