Signs of Progress -or Mice?
These 8 weeks of dealing with a spine fracture can seem ever so long, but tomorrow I'm half way through this set of 8 weeks. 4 weeks to go.
I have less constant pain, and was able to drive all by myself to my chiropractor appointment last Friday. (I did not have the oomph left to do any shopping after that, but was satisfied with what I accomplished.)
Another model order came through - from Tennessee, and I was able to get it ready and shipped in 7 days. Whoopee!
Now, I guess I have to call this next one a negative - for the winter snows make it harder to drive, and it is hard to find the warmest mitts or gloves. (I will root through a bin of them in the basement before I'm out again!)
There is also the wading through a couple of inches of snow on the garden path when I don't have the oomph to shovel the snow off. But I will soon!
Definitely a minus about the winter weather is that more mice are coming into my house.
I heard a teaspoon move in the kitchen, rushed to see - a mouse dashing away and behind the fridge.
On Saturday I finally got the vacuum out and got that job done after 3-4 Saturdays when it was too much for me. As I vacuumed near the back door - a mouse darted out from behind a box I'd set to collect garbage. It darted out - not sure which way to go; I was surprised enough to lose control of the hose for a moment - suddenly the mousie was slurped up the hose!!
It's too cold to empty the bucket in the garden in winter, so I put it down the toilet bowl. That went so quick! I straightened up: "Well, mousie, if you are still alive you have lots of tunnels and rivers of sewer to cross now!"
Yesterday, I saw a mouse on my desk here looking at some cables at the back of my computer box! He/she took off when I yelled out in alarm!!
I should add that I've run out of mouse traps, but ordered some sonic ones which should arrive any day now. Apparently mice/rats and insects will run away in droves, anxious to get away from that sonic sound only they can hear. (I hope it arrives today!) It is not fun to clean up their dead bodies.

I don't like to get into political quarrels and ranting/ raving that happens when things get out of control.
However, I have watched some videos about the clashes and lively interviews and debates about the key USA character - Trump. Every angle is thoroughly discussed and argued over.Many Americans are terribly upset. I've watched a number of videos to try to sort it out and think I now understand what is happening.
It appears President Trump has serious cognitive decline and is to be impeached very soon.
The one positive note I've noticed is that a number of the Americans speaking out are saying that they admire the cool, collected way our Prime Minister in Canada has behaved. Instead of quarreling with Trump he has been organizing other sources for materials for the big factories, and new markets to sell the products to in other countries.
It does appear that he has a good, thinking head on his shoulders, and I wonder if God has not put him in his place of power as Prime Minister to show the USA that there are better ways to deal with a crisis.
The contrasts are astonishing!

Yes, there are times I see something online and quickly scribble some notes.
One video showed how just a teaspoon of this or that added to our morning coffee will increase our muscle strength. I didn't have all the ingredients at hand this morning but tried the ones I had, and I rather enjoyed my mug of instant coffee. I have felt alert and able to move around much better all morning.
Here's the link to the video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9 aGJtLJs61
Cinnamon, unsweetened cocoa powder, collagen powder, high protein milk, turmeric and a tiny pinch black pepper. (there were about 3 more.) To get it all mixed well, it helps to buzz it in a small blender. Then everything is well-mixed.
