Ahh okay. That makes sense. That’s odd they go so fast haha

I have 4 cucumber plants this year.



Sounds awesome!!



Thank you IM. Me too.

Although it is back this morning. and it came back last night around like 5 or 7 or so while I was making dinner but couldn’t take meds since it was so late (Excedrin is really the only one that works for me lately) but thankfully it died down some before bed and I was able to sleep.

I’m going to give this one a couple hours and hopefully it will go away. Sometimes that happens for some reason, get it bad in the morning then it goes away, so I’m giving it some time before taking any Excedrin or anything for it.

Anyway, while I do get migraines fairly frequently, I don’t normally wake up with them so this waking up with them two days in a row thing and having the bad one the other night/not sleeping is really getting old.



Have fun!



Sounds delicious. I think I might make a stir fry with the shishito peppers I got yesterday and all these dang green beans we have haha someone gave me a good yet simple stir fry sauce idea so going to try that with it. And I have some chicken I got yesterday so might add that. Or just the veggies and rice. We’ll see. Might get some broccoli maybe.



Sounds like a good day. I might make some pickles today but not sure yet because I also want to cook dinner later and the canning will probably be an all day affair for me given how slow I am at cooking/prepping and all this sort of stuff haha and how many cucumbers I have. But we’ll see.

Might do some laundry and/or cleaning instead then canning tomorrow.

Also need to go shopping again and find some of the ingredients for the stir fry sauce and need to look and see if we have rice.

Currently trying to get this dang migraine under control.



Yeah ours aren’t producing yet either but hopefully soon haha



Can yellows not be canned? Didn’t know that.

i have canned yellow ones but they say they're not suppose to be canned due to the low acid, you could put lemon juice or vinegar but seems to me it would taste weird

I’m thinking I should probably talk to a doctor and/or get actual migraine prescription or at least a brain scan or something haha because they’ve been a lot more frequent lately like the last few years. But not too frequent. Idk. They probably wouldn’t qualify for the drugs.

And oooohhh I’d definitely trade if I was closer! Haha

There's an app called Migraine Buddy. It can help you identify triggers and what helps like hot ir cold showers, laying down or standing, medication, everything. It helped me identify that the weather can be a trigger for me

I think you told me about that a few months ago maybe? And I did download it and it helps so thank you but I’ve been bad about adding them lately haha but I still don’t really know cause it changes. Like sometimes it’s dry eyes then that leads to a migraine, sometimes it’s my jaw, sometimes it’s dehydration, sometimes I just wake up with them, so I really don’t know. But it’s usually one of those 4. Or super processed stuff. But I can’t really change or fix those unlike just avoiding certain foods so it kinda sucks but idk.

I think some of mine are sometimes related to that cause I do the weather info usually but idk.

Picked a few more tomatoes today. Picking every day now. Only four bushes.

The basil came from the garden too.

Btw when I was collecting it I saw this little dude on the pepper plant next to it. Hope the pictures came out okay. Couldn’t really see what I was taking cause it was dark haha plus didn’t want to move the leaves around too much or bring the phone too close and scare him.

Any idea what kind it is though?

There is also a frog residing in our front pond. I’m glad the little guys want to hang out. They eat mosquitoes right?

Tree frog x7.

Nurses are hard to come by in Canada... the majority of them move to the states for the better $....

Not enough nurses anywhere because they pay cashiers more. Been there, seen that.

For now I guess you’ll just have to live vicariously aha

Do cucumbers not grow well there?

I got a few cukes and then my vines dried up and died off in the heat.
