WHAT IS IN MY WALL?????

Hello Mr Tuesday!
So far, I like you. 
It's only just past noon and you have done well.
Although...I wish you would magically clean my house.

Yesterday was one of those busy productive days that it looks like you did nothing.
Paperwork, cooking, computer work, garden.....Looks like nothing when the day is done.
We have ants in the garden.  Did I already tell you that?
Well, anyway...  The ants are a bother, but they keep some of the bugs down.
Yesterday one of the chickens stepped on a very large ant nest and I watched as she picked them off and stomped her foot.  I felt so bad for her and yet it was fun to watch her stomp her foot.
Today I watched as they discovered the pond.  That was funny watching them try to figure out how to get to the water without falling in.  It was sweet watching them drink all in a line, and then tottle off to the back yard.  They are such fun.

I started a flare later in the week but it was very mild.  I think it was set off by wasp stings, allergies, heat, and hormones.  I had run low on my K tea also.  I wear a fitbit most days and I can tell when I have the K tea in my body because the fitbit has that vinegary smell when I take it off, instead of a yuck smell.  Today, mid mild flare, it has a yuck smell.  Strange...I know.  But I guess that's telling me when my body is alkaline and that's good. 
I can tell when I'm starting to have pain because I have to pop my knuckles a lot to make things feel better.  I haven't had to do that until this week.  So...  I need to make more K tea and not run low again.  When I think about how people who get painful cramps from running drink pickle shots....
I guess it's kind of the same thing with K tea but tastes much better.
Praying that is what is helping and not that it's just cooler and psyching me out.
It hasn't helped with the lack of energy though.
I have an appointment next week.  Praying for info.

Doing laundry today.  I've watered the garden.  The floors need cleaning.
I need to debone a rotisserie chicken for alfredo this evening.

And..........that animal just crawled down the inside of the wall in the corner of my living room. It's so loud. 
Gosh I hope it's a opossum and not a rat.  I wish Remy wasn't so afraid of outside, I would chunk him under the house to catch the rat.  I swear that boy is 20 pounds of muscle.
Maggie and Greta stand at the wall looking like they really wish they could catch, whatever it is. Ah...the life of living in a farmhouse.  At least it's not IN the house.

Ok....I should get my rear in gear.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs

DIVORCE AND MENTAL HEALTH

 It is a beautiful hot day outside.  Texas weather in the summers are not for the faint of heart, that's for sure.  But it is truly beautiful.  We've had a good amount of rain through June so the grass is still green, which doesn't usually happen by July.   I don't blog often.  I unintentionally hurt someones feelings with a blog post and I don't want to do that again so I am very nervous blogging about anything.  I created this blog page to try and heal myself and maybe help anyone else who might be going through the same circumstances.  I have depression that has been my constant companion for a good part of my life.   So most of my blog posts are my way of working through my depression.  I have a hard time feeling safe in many situations.  A good amount of that was because of how our home felt when I was young.  I had precious parents that weren't good at communication.  I don't think they knew how to be any o...

I AM

Several years ago I read something that really made sense to me. I can't remember where I read it or what exactly it said but it talked about how saying the words "I am ......." before some value that you wish you had.  It was explained that, in doing so, it could change your subconscious thinking.   We all have so many thoughts running through our heads at any given moment and I would guess that not all those thoughts are positive.  If you are a woman, then you probably have many more thoughts running at one time than any man would.  Most of us have high expectations for ourselves, so every imaginable self criticism comes to mind and runs on a continuous loop in our heads. When we read the bible it has so many areas that talk about taking captive your thoughts, thinking of only good things, speaking words that only lift us up, and BELIEVING what you pray for, so it will be done.  So the trick for most of us is to shut down those negative subconscious thoughts t...

Todays thoughts

I've been listening and reading about a new fad in Christianity that has become very heart breaking for me personally . It seems there is a growing number of people who don't like what they call the "institution" of the church. You know what? Church is not perfect and never was. That's why there are so many letters in the bible to churches telling them what they need to change. It's not going to be perfect but that doesn't mean we walk away. What concerns me about great Christian people who give up on the church experience, is that, in giving up and only gathering with a small group of Christians, they are losing the experience of fellowship with people that have no other place to go. Christians who need loving people around them on that Sunday morning, to help get them through the week. What I LOVE about church is that I am accepted even though I'm not perfect, wealthy, popular or whatever. I LOVE that when my children come to church, they are...
