INVESTIGATING WHAT'S IN STORAGE UNITS

RESTED UNTIL LATE MORNING.  Still coughing.  Outside temps were in the 70s. Perfect walking weather for me.  Decided to go walk at the football field.  Hubby drove me.  He sat while I went around the track talking to myself that I need to walk a mile.  I was alright at the half mile mark and was trying to talk myself out of walking a 3rd and 4th time around.

It was a chore to convince myself that I would like being able to say I walked a mile.  I finally convinced myself and even tried to jog a little bit.  Ha.  That was a joke as I can not run.  If I keep at it perhaps I will be able to run again one day.  A dream come true.  As a heavy set gal, I look like I'm out of commission.  No one is watching so I jog like no one is watching.

I made my mile in 25 minutes and 13 seconds.  This is the fastest mile I have made since timing myself.  Afterwards, I cooled off and drank a bottle of H2o.  We drove to the Post Office and then over to our storage unit at a different community to put out moth balls and mouse traps.  The leaves on the trees are TURNING already.  I kept saying, it's too early for the leaves to be turning.  Maybe in September, but NOT in August.

I investigated what is in some of the tubs.  I gathered the CORELLE dishes we used 50 years ago as a wedding gift.  SPRING BLOSSOM GREEN OR CRASY DAISY PATTERN.  I think I will gather some more things that we started out with as newly weds that we still have as our 50th wedding anniversary is at the end of the month.  Makes me smile.  

I also found some white china from Germany in a vinyl storage box that I will bring HOME when we return to check on the traps in a few days.  I believe I can wash these up and place them in the corner cabinet.  I want to hang onto these as they are so pretty and delicate. 

As my eyes darted about the unit looking at pieces of furniture that I don't know what to do with, I find myself asking God what shall I do with the furniture and accessories?  I will go over to a different storage unit we use later and maybe start loading things into the car to take to charity or shuffling to make better sense of the things.   

Drove back to the local grocery store as I wanted to get some V8 and possibly some other juices for a juice fast day.  They didn't have the V8 in cans like I like using that has 60 calories, but had larger bottles so I got one and also some tomatoe juice, cranberry juice and apple juice.  I have it in my head that I can do a juice fast with breakfast being a V8.  Snack being some pineapple juice.  Lunch another V8 with some Blood Pressure helper powder in it.  Afternoon snack would be orange juice or grapefruit juice.  Supper maybe tomato juice.  Evening snack being apple juice or carrot juice.  Doing this thing.

 

Like this.

From the grocery store we went through the CITY PARK then headed HOME.  When driving the car, my husband is beginning to scare me when he drives.  We were approaching the railroad tracks he didn't hear the dinging of the signal that a train is coming with the railroad crossbars coming down.  I yelled a holler and he told me he thought his phone was ringing.  I asked if he saw the crossbars coming down on the hood of the car.  Nope, he hadn't.  I think he should be demoted as a driver.  I do most of the driving these days and I think I had better do more of it. He's slowing down and it's scary.  Aging has its challenges that you might not think you ever will. Surprise...here they be.

We drove HOME, unloaded our things, watered the porch plants, had Bean with Bacon Soup and crackers along with Iced Tea for Lunch.  Filling.  Nap time. Time to rest some more so I'm blogging and doing laundry.  Then I will clean up the doll I purchased yesterday from God's Storehouse.  I will restyle her ringlets, wash her up and decide if I should launder her pretty orange dress and bonnet.  A ink spot is on her sleeve and she's missing a shoe. I may try to get the ink out of her dress with rubbing alcohol and toothbrush.  Shall give it some thought.  Her undergarments are well made with some lace.  Being a Fayzah Spanos doll, she is a well made doll.  Lovely addition to my doll collection.  When I saw her, I debated should I get her or not.  I easily would pay this much for a pair of bluejeans so I decided I'd go the extra mile and buy her.  

I'll be transferring some toys for the youngest grandchild into a new heftier vinyl storage box with a canary yellow lid.  It's time to be organizing our household as best we can.  An ongoing project.  Each day I need to work on it.  Amen.

JUST WANTED TO GOOF OFF

I WOKE UP REMEMBERING WHAT I WAS DREAMING ABOUT. Usually my dreams fade into the subconscious mind and disappear where I don't recall any of it. This time in my dream, I remembered that after seeing the actress that plays ANNIE in the broadway play, I told my husband that I wanted to go to the play before the actress for Annie would be changed as this one was about 21 years old.  haha.

He agreed and we went to the play in a huge auditorium.  Reese Witherspoon was planning Annie.  Reese is actually about 48 years old in reality.  So what a funny dream.  I saw Robert Wagner and his daughter by marriage via Natalie Wood walked through the day glancing at us. Sometimes dreams make no sense, but while they are happening they make perfect sense.  One thing led to another and we had decided to get out of New York as I said, I didn't like cities. Hubby in the dream found a huge house to rent that was fully furnished for $450.oo.

We took it, moved and our two daughters started their new schools.  In the dream I was extremely concerned about them starting a new school.  END OF DREAM. Woke up.

In reality I have two sons and one daughter.  The dream was odd.  Oh well.  Not sure of the deep rooted meaning of it.  Doesn't matter.

BACK TO TOPEKA.  After getting around, we went to TOPEKA to purchase mouse traps and moth balls for the storage units and some other things.  When we last checked one of our storage units, the furniture blanket covering the sofa had serious mouse chew on it.  Makes me wonder what the mouse was after.  We had decon out.  Not sure if the mouse ate any or not.   I will go place the mouse traps and moth balls out in the unit later today.

Made it to God's Storehouse where I bought a pair of capri jeans and a porcelain doll for my collection.  We ate lunch and I had my regular salad.  Treated ourselves with a StarBucks unsweetened Iced Green Tea.  Supposedly green tea is suppose to help one lose weight.  It's not working for me.  Hum.   

Day went something like this
Bath
Post Office
Long drive to TOPEKA
LUNCH
Home Depot
StarBucks
God's Storehouse
Dillions Grocery Store
Menards
Long drive HOME
Daughter's house
HOME

I'm still coughing.  Heavens.  It has got to stop.  Almost three weeks of this crud.

My plans for the day are to continue doing laundry, write out some bills, water the porch plants, go out to the storage unit, prepare a toy box in a yellow lidded storage box, sanitize a box full of tapes that wee in the storage unit, clean up the new porcelain doll I got, bake some carrots and miniature tomatoes and go for a mile walk while it's still cool outside.  

I did notice the leaves on the trees are turning.  It is too soon in the year.  September is more like it.  Early Autumn on the way.

With going to TOPEKA, I just wanted to goof off for the day.  Some goofing off took place. NOW, I need to go outside and enjoy the cooler temps we are having before another round of HOT hits as we drift toward AUTUMN.

Have a pleasant day,

PERFECT BOILED EGGS (EVERY TIME) | hard boiled eggs + soft boiled eggs

What Would Happen if You Only Ate Eggs for 30 Days

HEaLTH TIPS

You know what I have found in common from all of the great medical sights on the internet?  It's funny actually as I have compared notes and they all say basically the same thing.  Their suggestions are quite good ones.  

1) Exercise for 30 minutes each day.
2) Control stress in your life.
3) Get at least 7 to 8 hours of solid sleep.
4) Maintain a healthy weight.
5) Drink 7 to 8 cups of water daily.
6) Don't drink alcoholic beverages.
7) Don't smoke.
8) Don't use recreational drugs.

Tadaah...that's the common denominator.  About 8 of them. 

ADDING MORE OF MY OWN.
9) Wash your hands with warm water and soap often especially before and after handling food, dishes, PREPARING MEALS, USING THE TOILET, coming from outside, while in the world, after handling trash, money and laundry.

10) EAT HEALTHY AND BALANCED ORGANIC MEALS.
11) AVOID SUGAR AND ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS.
12) AVOID SEED OILS.
13) AVOID SOY.
14) AVOID FLUORIDES.
15) AVOID HIGHLY PROCESSED FOODS.
16) EAT HEALTHY FATS IN MODERATION.
17) EAT LEAN CUTS OF GRASS FED MEAT.
18) FIND A INEXPENSIVE HOBBY THAT BRINGS YOU JOY.
19) PRAY AND COMMUNICATE WITH ALMIGHTY GOD.
20) AVOID HIGHLY PROCESSED FOODS. OOPS ALREADY DID THAT ONE.
21) AVOID GMO FOODS.
22) EAT ORGANIC FOODS.
23) TAKE SUPPLEMENTS.
24) AVOID FOODS WITH MSG.
25) AVOID HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.  (Not sure how I forgot this one when it was one of the first things I decided to avoid with my health issues long before so much noise was made about it to the public.)
26) WHEN EATING MEAT LET IT BE GRASS FED MEAT.  DID THAT ONE ALSO.
27) SOAK YOUR VEGETABLES IN SALT WATER AND FRUIT IN VINEGAR WATER FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES THEN RINSE THROUGHLY IN COOL WATER BEFORE EATING THEM.
28) DRINK SPRING WATER.
29) DO NOT STORE LEFT OVERS IN PLASTIC CONTAINERS.
30) DO NOT PREPARE FOODS IN THE MICROWAVE.
31) AVOID AS MUCH EMF AS POSSIBLE.  Electromagnetic Field.
32) AVOID XENOESTROGENS.

OH MY GOSH...THE LIST CONTINUES TO GROW.  WHERE TO BEGIN AND WHERE TO STOP?

BEFORE EATING, PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD IN JESUS NAME.

MAIN CHEF AND BOTTLE WASHER

I HAD A VERY SLOW PACED DAY RESTING.  

I had a relapse of hard coughing.  Terrible feeling so I rested all day.  Took a long nap and added Mucinex to the medicine list.  It's been a rough two weeks of this stuff.  Hoping to turn the corner and feel all better.  Getting hit hard.  I stayed in my housecoat, didn't get my hair shampooed, did a load of laundry, didn't get all the bills taken care of or the correspondences.  

The house needs cleaned so badly.  No strength to do so.  Hubby is the main chef and bottle washer.  A blessing.  He fixed a late breakfast for me as well as supper and did the dishes. BRUNCH was 3 ingredient Cat Head Biscuits with homemade gravy.  Tacos for SUPPER. Cilantro was added for zesty flavor.  Later I drank a V8 with Dr. Colbert's Blood Pressure Helper and 6 oz. of Pineapple Juice.  I've got to get my bounce back.  I'm ailing.    

Since it's MOVIE NIGHT, we might have some popcorn while watching a good movie.  Ended up watching FLY OLD BIRD: ESCAPE TO THE ARK

LOVED IT!  Two elderly buddies, one with pre-dementia and the other with heart issues, go on a road trip to the Ark Encounter. They face hurdles, exchange identities, strengthen their friendship while reaching their goal.

SOMETIMES a movie comes along that speaks to my heart.  This one did.

I'll do my nails and hopefully shampoo my mop tomorrow first thing in the morning.  It seems like I have had so much down time this year.  Not pleased about this.  It is frustrating at times.  I see how things can get out of hand.

I think maybe the Mucinex is helping to quiet the cough.  Praise the LORD.

If I feel the least bit better tomorrow I will take a walk to get some fresh air and sunshine.  

For now,

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,

PINEAPPLE AND GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

PINEAPPLE GRAPEFRUIT SALAD

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
1 tsp. minced lime zest
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 cups grapefruit segments
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cubed (about 4 cups)

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk together honey, mint, zest, and lime juice.
Toss together grapefruit, pineapple, and honey-lime mixture; chill until ready to serve.

THE WONDERS OF GRAPEFRUIT AND PINEAPPLE.  Citrus.  I was reading about how grapefruit will lower blood pressure and pineapple will help with what ails you concerning the lungs.

POTASSIUM helps with blood pressure and grapefruit has a high amount of potassium. Grapefruit can interfere with some medicines so you've got to know which meds could be affected.  I have plans of eating half a grapefruit in the afternoon for a snack or what some call a HUNGER SAVER.  Also known to help with weight loss.    

I've been drinking pineapple juice to combat the coughing and hopefully help with my lung health.  Pineapple has Bromelain which is known to help with lung health.  Also known to help with weight loss.

A win win situation,

🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽

NOT SURE IF I CAN DO THIS ONE OR NOT.  Found it on a video and it is suppose to be a diet plan from the 1950s.  I like the simplicity of this old 7 day menu.  ESPECIALLY the Sunday one.  This would be an easy to prepare menu of juices.  If nothing else, it can be a guide to help me figure out some simple meals.  Egg, toast with butter, fruit, tea or coffee without sugar.

🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽

I think a really easy diet plan would be a couple of eggs 🥚🥚(protein), rye toast 🍞(starch) with grass fed butter (healthy fat), a piece of fruit (fruit), V8 🍅🍅🥒🥒🥒(vegetables), small glass of milk 🥛(dairy), plus water 🚰 or hot tea ☕ for BREAKFAST.  

LUNCH would be a huge vegetable salad 🥗 with some fruit 🍏🍎 in it and protein such as turkey 🦃🐔, chicken or shredded cheese, sprinkled with a few croutons and small amount of salad dressing with water to drink.  

SUPPER being a large bowl of organic soup 🍜 with some crackers 🍘, and water🚰 to drink.  

Take a morning walk 🏃(exercise) and sit in the sun 🌞 for 15 minutes to get some vitamin D.  Sip WATER throughout the day.  Take some supplements.  Pray and rest 🛋.  SIMPLE PLAN for a successful day of healthy eating.

🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗

🛋 I am still recovering from the dreaded CO V ID cough.  I am doing better, but still have a tickle in my throat.  Cough syrup helps.  Praying for a better day.  No fever, but a heck of a cough.

💤😴🛌 I did not sleep well last night and found myself awake at 4 in the morning.  I finally went to sleep and hubby allowed me to sleep until 10:30.  6 and a half hours of sleep.  I woke knowing that I needed to go to TOPEKA to have some blood drawn.  I had fasted.  😷 Wore a mask and stayed away from peeps as best I could.  

👐👐Washed my hands often.

When I returned HOME, my TSH numbers were already in the health portal.  They were good coming in at 1.294.  Praise the Lord.  I will get my TSH checked again in 6 weeks or so.  Praying I stabilize.  I think when I take the cough syrup my Blood pressure raises.  Keeping track.  ✍Journaling.

The temps were HOT.  Nearing 100 degrees🌡.  I stayed cool in the car and didn't mind traveling to Topeka.  Our trip was pleasant with no troubles or problems  The car ran well.

💃 On one corner by SAMS, I saw a lady belly dancer seating up to preform.  She had the back of her auto open with a huge sound system.  What a boom box she had.  We didn't get to see her dance, but thought it was interesting that she was setting up to preform in this heat.  You never know what you're going to see in Kansas on the side of the road.  

Returning HOME, we were tired and I needed to put my feet up to relax.  No swelling in the feet.  A miracle and I am so thankful to be doing better!  Now for this monstrous cough to dissipate.  Please and thank you.  

This week, I will play old videos of JACK LA LANNE's television exercise programs in the HOME.  This is a goal for me to reach.  Mid-week will be a nice place to start.  I might go walking and get some sunshine while I'm at it.  I won't be around people other than my hubby.  Fresh air and sunshine will be a plus.  Amen.  

I placed an old kerosene lamp on the center of the dining room table. I'll need to get some oil later this week so I can light the lamp and leave the ceiling light turned off.  Not only will it set a peaceful mood, it'll light the room.  

A load of laundry 👚👚👚👚needs to go in the washing machine and I need to sanitize the bathroom fixtures 🚽.  Bills and birthday cards🎂 need to be written out and placed in the mail. 📫  

Walk, get some sunshine, exercise with Jack, laundry, bills, and eating simple meals.  Pick out a few pieces of clothing to donate to charity.  Pull some weeds and water porch plants.  Clean some miniature tomatoes from the patio garden so a tomato dish can be prepared.  

The BATHROOM is coming along.  Wall tile is hung and grouted.  Getting cleaned.  Lovely.  We decided to order a different faux tin ceiling tile than what we already had.  The one we received earlier is just too busy for the Bathroom.  Decided to use it in the Victorian Bedroom which has a higher ceiling to it.  It will enhance the Bedroom better than the Bathroom.  A simpler tile in the Bathroom is a better pick then what we had.

Even with it being faux tin, the price adds up.  I didn't want to spend a $1000.oo on the ceiling.  Under $200.oo is more like it.  Watching those dollars and being as frugal as can be.  With the porcelain claw foot tub, the nickel plating of the metal feet, the tub faucet and hardware, plumbing, new glass for the window, sub flooring and backer board, tile for the floor and walls, beaded board, wood trim with rosettes and belly band, light fixture, vanity with marble top, sink fixture, mirror, lights, new tall toilet, paint, wood for a linen closet, etc.  the remodel of the Bathroom is adding up for just the one room.  It will be a delight when it is finished.  Pictures to follow.

I need to concentrate on my meal planning and be ever so thankful for the blessing of receiving food.  Making our COTTAGE 🏡 our HOME is a daily challenge.  May I have a smile on my face and a song in my heart.💝

Praise the LORD for simple pleasures,

WEEK-END RAMBLINGS

 

Sweet to have loved ones near.  Daughter ran to the store for some supplies for us yesterday and LIL MISS dropped off a German Chocolate Cake.  Delicious.  My appetite is coming back. 

🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽 

It's been years since I fixed a German Chocolate Cake from scratch.  Years.  One of my Husband's all time favorites.  I sure enjoyed the cake to the fullest.

Drinking lots of fluids always.  I don't know if having my feet elevated so much has anything to do with the swelling in my feet, and ankles, but it has disappeared and my feet are back to normal size.  My blood pressure has lowered and I stopped taking my water pill a week ago.  

I was wondering if the HCTZ pill was contributing to the water retention in the first place as it would be causing a electrolyte deficit.  hum.  I will keep an eye on it anyhow.  With diuretics it's common that electrolytes wash out of your system.  The electrolyte imbalance can cause high blood pressure and water retention.  Vicious circle.  If a magnesium and potassium deficit is checked for in the first place before sticking someone on a water pill because of water retention, addressing the deficit before a water pill is taken might balance out what needs balanced and not have a problem.  No water pill needed.  

When the kidney is unhappy because the water isn't getting into cells, retention takes place.  Magnesium helps the water to get into the cells making the kidney happier.  Water retention shouldn't last.  

I'm drinking water to stay hydrated and decided to take a little Celtic salt that contains 82 minerals in it.  Small amount of salt.  Taking potassium and magnesium.  A deficit of magnesium causes water retention and a deficit of potassium causes high blood pressure.  There is truth that having nutritional deficits creates health issues.  

One prescribed pill can cause chaos and havoc in the body when all the body really needs is magnesium and potassium.    

Sunday truly was a day of rest for me.  I had a long, uninterrupted afternoon nap.  How I needed it.  More of the same this week.  Determined to get well.

MONDAY HAS ARRIVED.  I am moving slow with being alright about it.  Laundry each day this week.  I'll continue to spot clean as I go.  Eat nutritionally dense foods and drink Spring water. Take my supplements and REST.  Destress and rest.  Declutter and rest.

I visited with my Husband and said to start pulling out of the closet clothing he no longer wants.  I'll do the same.  Donation box by the front door.

My Hunny did water the bushes in the front flowerbed and the porch plants.  He's been picking our patio tomatoes.  I've got to make something from these beauties so they don't go to waste.

We watched a 3 hour cowboy movie.  It helped to take our minds off of being sick.  🤠🤠🤠🐎🤠🐴🤠🤠🤠 

I can't wait until I am over this cough and have regained energy.  Amen.  I continue to daydream and imagine what should be done with the interior of the COTTAGE.

Rambling on,
