One of the grape clusters. I've been watering since before the sun was up and not done yet. There's an ants nest at the base of the mesquite tree that's had moving day forced upon them.


@Rachel Taylor Hope you feel better soon!

Gosh! I'm so sorry! Frustrating that no one can do anything to help. I'm glad it doesn't stop you from living life, because for some people it totally would. You're a tough lady!

I don't mean to come off as a buttinsky. I just care a lot about people's quality of life, and it gets me right in the heartstrings when someone lives in pain.

Your fine saying as you did can help some I use lidocane first and tramadol second
but refuse to lay down and die stubborn as the day is long that way .. We have 5 inside cats our house is quite large the cat boxes are in a room of their own we have two of them that I clean twice a day I have 4 coops that get cleaned buy me and a garden of tires stacked 2 high so I can have a garden without bending ... I grew up in a era of
no workie no eaty guess after my generation many broke the mold

I don’t know about tough. My family prefers to use the word hard headed Ha ha. And they’re probably mostly right. It could be much worse. Some people have it so much worse so I can be lucky to be otherwise fairly healthy I didn’t grow up in quite that era. But my mother was raised with 11 siblings and the way she raised us she use that mindset. You need to work in everybody needs to work to get what you need to get through life. I don’t know how many times a day my mom would say suck it up to one of us. I’m glad she did though . Because I’m sure that’s what helped when it came to me raising my daughter on my own until she was 10. Between working two jobs and being the only one raising her and now that I am married we have adopted two large dogs and three cats that would’ve had no place to live soon plus for goats for milk and chickens for eggs and a huge garden So we try to Ken and freeze to help through the winter. So I’m hoping my daughter watching all of this will help instillthis in her also

Plus it’s a great excuse to chill on the couch with a glass of wine, a heating pad was some lavender and mint and George Harrison record and crochet after everything is done for the evening. I could probably go get pain medication for this but I can’t take it at work. I work on the side of the interstate I need to have my eyes and ears open at all time because that traffic cone is not going to stop a drunk driver from hitting me or somebody on my crew. Plus if I can avoid it I will maybe one day there will be a time I can’t but I will wait until that day

When your body isn't cooperative, it helps a lot to be stubborn.

I wish my husband had that mental toughness. He gets a tummy ache and you'd think he was dying! Lol! Will lay in bed half a day for stomach cramps. Makes me so mad! I just want to yell, "Get up, ya p***!" I don't though, because he's quick to anger.
