I'm a 49 yr old mother of 4 who wants to share so much with the world but doesn't know where to begin.

There isn’t anything

What do you wish you could do more every day?

If I wish to do something…I do it

I would say I wish I could sleep more, however when I have the opportunity to sleep in or take a nap…I don’t, so I believe that would be a falsehood.

I enjoy painting, coloring, drawing, gardening, writing, singing and dancing….do all as it suits me.

I like to read and learn, I like people and love talking with people…do this every opportunity I get but I think I do all plenty.

It’s Tuesday morning

6:00 am

I’ve been up since a little before 4.

Had coyotes outside my room at 415, at least half a dozen, singing their hearts out.

I have to feed animals soon, picking tomato plants and sunflowers up today in Montgomery.

Will be a quiet 2 weeks here for several reasons, but I have plenty to keep me busy.

Garden getting tilled Thursday, God-willing

Hoping to pull an old rusty wheelbarrow to the front yard today to create an herb garden for the year in it.

Have 2 dozen eggs in the incubator due to hatch the 1st of April

Needing to move some of the chicken coops and pens towards the fence line in coming days, hopefully can be done without a lot of damage , need to fix the nesting box door on one of the coops as it’s currently non functional (kept falling off, ended up screwing it on as solid fixture temporarily).

Needing to get new leashes and collars for the dogs for summer walks.

Looking forward to summer months.

Hope you’re well,

Best,

A

It was many moons ago, and it wasn’t a direct compliment.

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

A patient I had who told me how sweet every other nurse she had was, and that she was glad they were coming after me. However when it came time to extend her care contract part time, she only extended on the condition that I was her full time nurse.

This same patient, also called me nicknames that I found out later had been her daughter’s nicknames growing up.

This meant the world to me.

It’s 4:04 am Saturday morning

I went to bed and slept decently early last night but got texts at 11:13 and again at 1:27 that woke me fully.

He’s gone to bed and asleep now (I think 🤷‍♀️) and here I am wide awake a full hour after he’s excused himself.

Just got up and made 3 fresh pitchers of tea for the day, unloaded the dishwasher and put it away, and checked the laundry and reset the dryer (it never takes less than 2 cycles to dry)

Not sure what the day ahead holds for me. So going to try to go back to sleep until time to feed animals and fold laundry.

Here’s hoping you have the best day.

Best,

A

Owl from my front yard last night

Good Wednesday morning

I’m a little ahead of chores this morning, have to go out to feed the animals in a few, but currently I’m sat in my kitchen floor eating 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a mug of milk.

The kitchen floor is my favorite place these days…I can’t tell you why. I like sitting here and eating or reading; it’s a comfortable place for me.

Pb&j’s are a favorite for me too recently, and funnily enough, I really like them with a cup of milk…plain white milk…the beverage I have seen with disdain my entire life I finally embrace in this, my fiftieth trip around the sun

Ive always been willing to drink chocolate, strawberry or honey milk but white milk has always been one that caused my nose to wrinkle and my tummy to instantly turn, it just wasn’t a good thing for me.

Anyway, I’ve bored you enough for the day with my ramblings.

I hope you have a blessed day.

Best,

A
