May 23rd 2014 hermity dragon
Hello Peeps…
I am around… seriously dragging but around… woke up with a beastmaster of a headache… and it is seriously whomping on me… friend just called… going to head over to his place and help him move some stuff… then … I dunno… maybe garden… maybe not… need a lighter day… might get moving later… argh… taking my aching bod into the tub and soaking… drinking some more coffee… enough coffee and perhaps the headache will go away… this ole broad is aching bacon… ouch… yeah I know whine whine whine…
Seriously though… I’ve been telling myself… embrace the pain… and release the fear… funny focusing on that seems to lessen the headache as well…
Gray overcast day… the cockatiels are outside… so are the mastiffs and Pominators… highlander was playing in the background… quiet now… just the sound of the fan in the kitchen window… it’s right by the stove so it draws the cooking oils and smoke out… I cook with cayenne …. A lot… and it always makes me cough in that hot cast iron… so the fan draws it out the window… had an early lunch… 2 corn tortillas… 2 ounces bacon… and some radishes… seriously need to scatter some radish seed in the garden…
Planted the apple trees… 3 dwarf ones… the rosa rugosa … 6 of them… Jerusalem artichokes… a couple pounds… Yukon gold potatoes… black berries… 4 of those… ran the jeep into town to get some parts to get the truck going again… battery cable ends… so thankful for my friend’s skill… I am learning… but motors… argh…
Drank some tangy tangerine… and some more coffee… headache is down to a dull roar… thinking it was a combo platter headache… some dehydration… some teeth grinding… some lack of caffeine… I did not drink coffee last night… not enough anyway… and some hunger… and some anxiety mixed in… bloody holiday weekend… pphhhtttt… sometimes I am such a troll… or a crabby dragon… you know I think I would do well living in a cave behind a waterfall… all that wonderful water sound… and a curtain of rushing water for a door… hmmmmm…. Just need a good supply of coffee… and the ability to change physical form into a large… scaly … winged… beautiful … of course… sharp fanged… fire breathing … beastie… purple green and black shaded scales… with golden to amber eyes… yes fire breathing because you know I like my food crunchy…
We’ll just leave what the food would be up to the imagination… hehehe…
Oh … saw a herd of deer on the way into town yesterday… they trotted across the road and on into a field… there were a dozen or so of them… and of course I did not have a camera with me… I did enjoy watching them bounce along…
I am seriously hermity today… too bad so sad… get up and move… gotta go… I said I would so I am… a hermity dragon… snapping and snarling… good thing he knows me well… lol…
Later taters…

Rest Day...
Took today as down time… even got out of the compression pants… what a relief that was… watched a marathon session of Project Runway All Stars on Lifetime…. In between naps.
Had other plans for today… but seriously needed a downtime day. In actuality, my body insisted upon it. Quiet day hanging out with my cat.
I did do some laundry and wash some dishes… and of course run the house dogs out… and feed the Kitty trio… I had planned on going into Scotts Bluff for a meeting with my grief counselor… could not stay awake to drive… called her and told her what was up… both of us agreed it was better to not try to drive when I could not stay awake.
Put clean sheets on the bed… love clean sheets… what can I say.
I’d really been pushing it over the past few weeks and my body had reached its limits. I’m breathing better tonight than I was this morning… but my lungs are still hurting. Trying to walk is really wonky without the compression pants on. Not so stable on my feet. I’m not overly stable on my feet with the compression pants on… but without them it is a bit like walking on broken stilts. It is not a feel sorry for me thing… it just is what it is.
I have much more understanding of what my grandmother and mother went through. Back in the day I did not have a clue. Truth be told this is a bit of wisdom I could have happily done without.
Understanding what it is like to not get enough air is some wisdom I could have done without as well. Yeah… definitely could have done without ever knowing that. Frankly I can think of a few other things I could have done without knowing as well… such is this life…
Nite peeps…
