I was so tired last night that I actually went to bed at 9:30pm. I was sure that I would wake up some time during the night (to use the bathroom, if nothing else). But the mattress felt just so wonderful that I slept all night long. That is why there was no blog for this morning.
BUT...I woke up with a tummy ache that just wouldn't go away. It took a couple trips to the bathroom before it eased enough for me to get upright and tend to things that needed tending. Like feeding Baron his early afternoon food. He gets a can of his dog food then. His big feed (with chicken and either veggies or rice added) isn't until around 6 or 7pm. I depends on just when he lets you know he's hungry. I'm telling you, this dog is spoiled rotten. He *knows* when it's chicken time and he will stand in the dining area, watching intently, until you put his bowl in the stand. I had already put fresh water in the other bowl because there's just no getting around that dog when he's intent on eating his chicken.
This time he's also got some gizzards in the mix and he just LOVES those! I try to add some to each chicken meal for him. I had him out in the back yard earlier and, as long as I stayed on the deck, he kept trotting around the yard, sniffing at different areas. I swear he was hoping he would find the possum that keeps haunting our deck and trying to destroy the bird feeder. I noticed the feeder could use more seed in it tonight but I am going to wait until morning to attend to that. No use letting the possum think there's anything of interest to it.
The hummingbirds are hitting the feeder for them like crazy. I think they must be getting ready for their migration to warmer climes. They are so small and use so much energy that I worry about them migrating. Some species actually fly down to Mexico and across the Gulf! They must arrive there just skin and bones. Can you imagine a paper-thin hummingbird? LOL!
Cee and I had tentative plans to get together and make a meal for ourselves. I went to the store and bought some shrimp and a few other things but forgot to grab a bottle of wine. Damn! And you can't buy any kind of liquor in our county on Sunday so we won't be able to have a drink with our meal. Oh well! C'est la vie'!
Time to close for now. I'll give three different hints tonight because I won't be doing another blog. That just seems kind of dumb since I am not suddenly having any adventures. Just have a fantastic weekend. Fall will be here before you know it. I barely had time to enjoy summer!
Love you all. Please be safe. Try to remember to tell those you love that you do....as often as you can. It might be the last thing you ever get to say to them. Better while they are alive than the alternative. ***Hugs***
HINT#1: If your scalp is getting flaky, try treating it with a mixture of 2 tablespoons dried thyme and 1 cup water. Let the water boil, then add the thyme and wait 5 minutes. Remobe from the heat and let cool, then strain out the thyme and pour the water on your hair and scalp after you've washed and rinsed it. To let it work, don't rinse it out for 12 hours---but don't worry, your hair will dry fine (and smell delicious)!
HINT#2: Believe it or not, meat tenderizer works wonders on all sorts of stings--bee, wasp, even jellyfish. That's because it contains papain, which helps break down the proteins in venom. Make a paste with the tenderizer by adding a few drops of water at a time, then rub on the affected area.
HINT#3: Vitamin A is a true wonder vitamin. Not only does it sooth and rejuvenate the skin, but it may also prevent sun damage. Eat liver, sweet potatoes, carrots, mangoes, and spinach (and drink lots of milk) to make sure to get your daily Vitamin A.
