Today was not a good day for the Beast. His friend that we had lent our trailer to brought it back today and detached it from his truck then spent a few minutes talking to the Beast before he headed back to work. The Beast then went to put the trailer hitch on it's stand and must have done it wrong. He wrenched his back badly. Then, with the way he came into the house, he aggravated his knee, which was bothering him anyway. He took a bath to try to ease his muscles but to no avail.
I set up the heating pad on his recliner for him, put some liniment on his back and he slathered the other liniment his aunt gave him on his knee area. But he was in severe discomfort and pain. So I did a bit of fetch and carry for him, ran to the store for an Ace bandage for his knee (to keep it warm mostly) then made us some dinner. I cleaned up afterward, got the dishwasher loaded and made sure the Beast was settled for bed before I retired to my computer room to catch up on FB and my email.
It was kind of funny because I guess Sheepie was on FB at the same time and, when I made a comment, within mere seconds, she was commenting back. We went back and forth for a bit, almost like chatting. I had just had that happen to me with the Princess. It was the first time I had that happen. Too funny.
Sheepie was giving me a hard time about my pajama jeans (which I loved and were very comfortable) but I have to give them up now because they are too big on me and the butt sags. More than mine does so don't be snide... Saggy happens to us all. First the breasts, then the butt....sigh. Life is NOT fair!
I have to guess that I truly AM getting healthier because my hair seems to be growing back. It was getting very thin on me but I guess it was a symptom of all the crap that was going on with my health that I wasn't aware of. Now that it seems to be resolved and I am trying to work on my health, including taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, that seems to be better. It's a real relief to me. I was worried about having to wear a wig for the rest of my life...LOL.
It was incredibly hot today when I ran up to the store. The inside of the car was just dreadful so I rolled down the windows. I really don't like the AC on for short trips and it cooled the car down to a nice temp. That's what's nice about living out in the boondocks. You don't have stop-and-go traffic.
I picked up the Ace bandage for the Beast and a couple minor items that we also needed and headed home to make dinner after I wrapped the Beast's knee up so he wouldn't keep complaining. He was in here a little bit ago because he had told me initially to wrap it loosely. Guess what? It started to become undone so this time I wrapped it tighter. It should last him until morning now.
The weatherman says (and Weatherbug agrees) that we will be getting heat in the high 90's tomorrow. I doubt the Beast will do anything outside even if he feels better tomorrow. I doubt he will but you never know. That kind of heat would put him in bed after about 10 minutes. He really CAN'T take the heat at all any more.
I was totally shocked today when I really took a good look at both the pear trees out in front as well as our Alberta peach tree. They are LOADED with fruit and, so far, it all looks great! The Alberta peach tree will start having fruit ready next month. I haven't seen the trees with this much fruit on it in a couple of years. Amazing. I'm really looking forward to it. I should even have more than enough to can and even make some jam with (the peach, not the pear....LOL). On a sad note, one of the cherry trees died on us. No clue why but it's deader than a doornail. The plum has almost no fruit on it for once. It needs to grow a bit more and strengthen so I'm kind of glad.
Well, time to get this posted. Love you all. Be careful with all this heat. ***Hugs***
HINT: Instead of spraying your shower down every time you use it, try this solution for keeping your shower mildew-and grime-free. Apply a thin layer of car wax to a completely clean shower, then buff with a soft, dry cloth. Your cleaning job will be much easier, and you'll only have to reapply the wax once a year. You can also perform this trick in your refrigerator to keep food stains at bay.
