WALKING, BABYSITTING, and CHEM-TRAILS

WALKING WAS ON THE AGENDA Thursday, so I walked one mile around 4 in the afternoon before going to babysit our youngest grand.  The day was beautiful.  I took out walking and paid a city bill then dropped off some mail as I walked toward my turn around point.  I felt that I did pretty well and didn't get overly tired.  Having made two stops during the timed walk, I covered my territory in 25 minutes.  I walked my mile, returned HOME sweating in need of cooling off.

Put that one in the books.  

While I was out walking Hubby was generous and fixed a fantastic salad for us to take with us when we babysat.

He found an awesome lime salad dressing recipe which I loved and told him to save the recipe.  He can fix this anytime he wants.  The salad had cut up chicken nuggets in it along with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, chickpeas and spinach with the dressing.  It was seasoned with paprika and garlic.

Our GRAND was so excited to see us and we were excited to see him.  His folks were going on a DATE.  First we played with miniature cars on the floor, ate salad, went outside and played in a sandbox, cleaned up, I fixed Grand some spaghetti, played in his room with his toys, watched CURIOUS GEORGE on the phone, did the dishes, played some more, got lil Dude dressed for bed, read a story on his bed and tucked a tuckered-out boy.  He fell asleep while being read to.  It was a pleasant time.

After his folks returned we chatted some and came HOME.  Watched THE HOUSE OF DAVID.  The story line isn't following the BIBLE story of David to a tee making the story just a good story.  The costuming, the set design, special effects and the acting are well done.  VERY good entertainment.

Friday, I hope to walk a different route.  Think I'll walk to the football field, walk a mile then walk HOME.  Shall see.  It may be too much for me.  That will be about two miles altogether.  This might be a bit ambitious for me, but I can rest once I get to the track and after walking the mile around the track, sit and rest again before heading HOME.  I might be exhausted for the rest of the day so I had best get my chores completed before I take out.

19 days until SPRING.  Praise the LORD.  🌷🌷🌷

ON THE OTHER SIDE.  I have taken an interest in what is in medications.  Their active ingredients and now their INACTIVE ingredients plus side effects.  Then there's food items which is important as well.  When ingredients are wood pulp and sand I hesitate to take the meds and eat the foods. When the FDA says it's safe, I question, is it?  I'm not who I was yesterday.  Each day I continue to change my line of thought.  Not to be paranoid or over reacting, but to be better informed to where I can make an educated guess.  

I've noticed in the skies chem-trails and said we'll be coughing in 3 days.  I'm taking note of when the chemicals are sprayed in the skies and taking note of how I'm feeling afterwards.  Last time they sprayed, two days later I was sad and weepy.  I watched a film clip of the entertainer PRINCE where he is talking about chem-trails and then he mentioned that there were Presidents before President Washington.  WHAT?  Checked it out and there were, but Washington was the first one of the UNITED States.  

• Before George Washington became the first president of the United States in 1789, 14 men held the title of "president". 

Yes, 14 men served as presidents before George Washington. These men were presidents of the Continental Congress and the Confederation Congress.

The things that come to light.  I believe there was far more to PRINCE than just his music.  

After writing personal letters to each of his offices and emailing several times, I haven't heard anything from Senator Jerry Moran about chem-trails.  I'll email him again and send a certified letter.  Perhaps I'll write the Governor.  

WALKING.  I walked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Not bad for an old lady.  5 miles altogether.  I hope to keep this up.

March is here.  
A new month and a fresh start.

RUMBLING TRAINS AND BEING IGNORED

🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂 🛩 🚂

COOLER TEMPS OUTSIDE as I woke around 4 this morning.  I can hear rain falling watering down the out of doors.  It's a peaceful sound this morning without thunder and lightening.  I walked outside onto our porch to see everything drenched by the moisture.  The weather man says it's 56 degrees right now with a 70% chance of rain.  The rain came.  When vehicles travel down the street in front of the COTTAGE, I can hear the sloshing of water from under their tires as they pass by.  I won't be out walking this morning.  Maybe around 4 P.M. when it's windy and dry.  

I'll use the car today to go to the Post Office.  I need to pay the City Bill as well.  A quick trip when it comes to this small town.  

Sometime, I'd like to have someone deep clean the interior of my car.  There's a place over at TOPEKA that I can check with about this.  hummm.  Shall see.  Might surprise my Hubby with this.

I was very tired last night and went to bed early for me.  At 4:05 A.M. a train rumbled through town.  It's getting easier to ignore the sound which is a good thing for me as when I moved into this small community nearly 20 years ago the first time, I had a terrible time adjusting to their rumblings.

🚂 One Summer night I was awakened by a train traveling through blowing its horn so loud I thought the train was coming through our upstairs wall.  I bolted upright in the bed.  We're living at a further away distance than then.  It took me 7 years to get use to the trains being so close to our house.  I finally got use to it.  Enjoyed the adjustment for three more years until we had to move.

I have peace knowing we only have one medical appointment this week.  Praise the LORD.  I can stay HOME for a change and get some much needed work done.  Today, I have hopes of getting the china in the cabinet.  Shampooing my hair.  Doing some laundry.  General clean-up.  Read. Meals and dishes are a part of the day.  To be able to still do these things is a blessing that I need to count.  

Hubs plans on continued shuffling of belongings.  He used our small canvas wagon to load the heavy cardboard boxes of dishes into the house so as to not hand carry them across the yard to the house.  Smart guy.  He thinks he has located and brought all the boxes that hold my Blue Willow china.  I hope so.  I will work at a steady pace today getting the dishes out and placing them in the cabinet.  It will be a delight to have them displayed in the antique china cabinet once again.  Can you believe it, it's been a little over a year since they have seen daylight?  That's a while.  I truly am slow, but some of this delay has been due to health issues and slowing down as I near 70 years of age. 

We use our everyday white dishes and haven't had the need to use the other.  My china compliments my dining room though.  I have so many dishes, but these are my pride and joy.  

Have mercy, there's another train rumbling through the town at 4:24 A.M.  Close to 20 minutes apart.  When I was babysitting this past week-end, the trains could be seen across the countryside and it seemed like there was a train every hour.  It makes me wonder what that are hauling?  

🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩

ON THE WORLD FRONT.  I still haven't heard back from my Representative about chem-trails.  I will contact the other Representative this week.  If the two of them completely ignore this little 'ole elderly, obese, white housewife then I will write letters to some Newspaper Editors.  Perhaps my Governor would reply.  Truthfully, I will fall through the cracks on this one as I am a nobody that cannot advance their political careers.  I could attend a so-called TOWN MEETING one day with my questions already printed on paper so I wouldn't forget what to ask and sound half way like I am somewhat intelligent.  

Who in the government would I contact about questions concerning CHEM-TRAILS?  

As the masses begin to grow and make some noise about CHEM-TRAILS and the harm they do to the landscape, crops, animals, soil, air quality and people's health...will it still be a hush-hush topic and the whistleblowers made to look like they are off their nut sort of speak?  It wouldn't be the first time would it? 

I do believe.

TITANIC, A COUNTRY DRIVE, CHEM-TRAILS AND LIFE IN GENERAL

~Beautiful ROSE wearing the HEART OF THE OCEAN necklace~

AUGUST 1st here we come.  NEW MONTH HAS STARTED. I had to go walking.  It's been 2 weeks since I walked the track.  I knew I needed to take it easy since I've been ill.  The coughing now is probably from lungs getting irritated due to excessive coughing with the co v id.  ASTHMA.

SO I WALKED 1/2 a mile instead of a full mile.  Got to the track before it hit 80 degrees.  It'll get extremely HOT later in the day.  I walked 15 minutes and got some exercise plus my VITAMIN D.  Pleased with the outcome.  

Afterwards, we went to pick up the mail from the post office.  I had a check that I needed to cash so we detoured on the way to the BANK to a small community to see a new mural that has been painted on the side of a business building.  We took the Interstate to the BANK to purchase some $2 bills.  The BANK only had 18 $2 bills, so I was contented to get that many.  I like saving these and using them for Birthday gifts.  On the way HOME, I stopped off at a THRIFT SHOP.  Picked up 3 t-shirts for Lil Dude.  I remember well when a child's t-shirt was a quarter not a dollar an a half.  sigh.  Such is LIFE.    

I purchased a small hammered aluminum bowl with lid for $3.oo.  Thought it was worth that much.  Drove HOME unloaded the spoils and fixed LUNCH.  Resting now.  Think it's NAP TIME.  Ready for a break.  Will shampoo my hair after a NAP.  

The WATKINS shampoo I used last time was a disappointment.  It didn't suds up and it felt like I didn't get the shampoo washed completely out even though I rinsed it well.  Will try something else this time.  

Will have vegetables for SUPPER.  We were given some corn on the cob, so I think we'll have this plus some cherry tomatoes from our patio garden and some turkey patties.  Water to drink. Sounds like a decent meal to feast on.

Noticed some of the leaves at the tops of the trees are turning bright yellow.  Signs of an early AUTUMN.  We haven't reached many days of 100 degree weather so I am a bit miffed that the leaves are turning so soon in mid-Summer.  The CHEM-TRAILS are affecting the environment. It's not a hoax or conspiracy.  General condensation that comes from flying aircraft, stays in the air for a short time then dissipates when CHEM-TRAILS stay in the sky for hours on end. Chemicals that are sprayed come from the tips of the aircraft's wings as general condensation comes from the engines.  I need to contact my Representatives in Washington DC and voice my concerns.  I can do that as an old woman out in the boonies.  OLD LIVES MATTER as well as young.  We all need to breathe.  I will start recording when aircraft has sprayed chemicals in the air and see how soon after they spray that my asthma acts up.

Last evening we did get some rain and the scent of KANSAS RAIN was present.  It reminds me of an early SPRING shower.  Fresh scent.  It thunder some, but overall wasn't a storm to hide oneself in the basement.  During the storm, we watched the 1997 movie, TITANIC.  Tis 3 hours long.  Toward the end of the movie when so many are living their last few minutes of life, we skipped this part of the film.  I didn't want to see it all over again.  We went to the theatre when the movie first came out loving the costuming and the interior of the luxury cabins.  

HEART OF THE OCEAN NECKLACE.  I didn't like the ending where Rose drops the huge blue, heart shaped diamond necklace into the ocean.  I remember thinking what a waste...she could have sold it and fed the poor in addition to giving her granddaughter that was taking care of her a sizable amount to help her out.  I thought the same thoughts last night.  

Some of the language was rough, some nudity, but overall a pretty good movie.  27 years ago, I watched this film for the first time on the oversized silver screen.  Have mercy, time gets away from me.  I'm an old woman now myself.  Best get on with it.

I wish I had been eating better back then.  I thought I was, but now I know I wasn't. I am OBESE and it seems like I am stuck being heavy set and not liking it.  I don't like it.  I truly don't.  One shouldn't cut the calories too low when having hypothyroidism.  Aim for 1000 to 1200 calories a day.  You can KILL the metabolism when starving.  I will attack this disease with exercise, healthy eating, supplements and water.  I will return to recording what I eat during the day and be as truthful as I can.  No cheating.  

I will work on correspondences this evening and maybe a load of laundry.  I need to make a date to vacuum the upholstered living room furniture.  I desire to be a better housekeeper.  I have not been keeping up on the housekeeping like it should be done.  Always room for improvement.  

God Bless and don't let your attitude sink the boat,
