New Idea?

ednesday

Something I've been tossing around in my mind for a while is a daily blog.  I have neglected Writtin's for a few reasons.  It was supposed to be my think tank....a place to brainstorm...etc.
My center has been off kilter for a couple years now due in most to all those Moments in the post that I hit publish on prior to this one, I wrote that post back in March of this year and just published it today simply because I can see how society is going south and I think having a record of that may be of help of course once the internet goes down we will all lose our Writtin's. Am I a doomsday prepper? No not really but a little common sense goes a long way. I can't afford a therapist so I will self analyze.  

 So a daily blog..That is how my old Yahoo! blog was way back in the dawn of blogging.  I have nothing of true value to share with society.  No great diamonds  or pearls for that matter of wisdom..all I have is this one simple life and suddenly lots of free time on my hands, Covid + 100 degree heat= at home inside. 

This is how my day went I will try to be as transparent as possible..a good honest look at life on my homestead, sometimes I will have a photo to share sometimes not..it's just me and my 2 dogs ---I almost typed 3 *sigh*
So I normally wake up when my eyes open.  This morning instead of seeing 6:30 or 7:00 I see 9:30!! WHAT ??
The dogs are impatient by my bed rightly so since they get their daily breakfast right after I make morning coffee. 
Yesterday I dragged my 100 lb propane tank  out into the yard because I had decided since the Zombie apocalypse could happen at any given moment and supplies may not last, that I should get my winter propane NOW.  I have 3 tanks 2) 20 lb and this big 100 lb. I won't lie and say it was an easy thing to do...I have one of those hand trucks so I rolled it to the van I put the cargo carrier on back to carry it easier than hooking up the trailer.  So I tilted it on the tray pretty easy tied it up like a silk spider on steroids and then
headed off to town after I showered and put on dry clothes!! Think 70% humidity + exertion = water.
I had one other horrid thing  happen I will explain down below...:o((

So by 11:30 ish I was outside taking my time driving to town using the "back way" as much as possible to avoid those people...you know the ones...I normally Brake very hard and that does one of 2 things. 
1. They back off   or
2. They pass me.
Either way I get them off my tail! Despise tailgaters. 

I normally get my propane at Tractor Supply but it's a longer drive and I know at ACE hardware he can fill it while it's on the carrier. Tractor supply's propane filling station is all fenced in...So I go ACE.
$53 later and Im back home faced with unloading it now it's literally 100 lbs.  of dead weight. 
I back up to a slight hill in my yard...so that means It's only inches to get it off the carrier not 18" And with dragging some rolling and lots of grunting it's on the ground, I have one nice sized bruise for my trouble. 
I use the hand truck to roll it across the yard and wiggle it back in position..
By the way the guy at Ace told me they are already having delivery problems so soon I plan to take the 20lb ones in to be filled JIC. I will take them to Tractor Supply to save money. 
Back inside, 2nd SHOWER ---> drenched after wrestling that tank in place. 

Had a snack and the dogs are sleeping in the ac in the living room.  It's by no means cool in here...my inside temp is 78! I watched Chrome Valdez's Youtube release Vancity Vanlife he is my fav to watch and he has been doing a slow northern crawl from Vancouver to explore more of his province of British Columbia, HE has seen so much wildlife and today he showed us a WOLF...just amazing...along with fox, black bear, bison, he is on the Alaska Highway so if this virus ever lets us be free again I want to do that Alaska Highway.
I should of been in CO right now...but all my plans were smashed with the shut down. 
Read the daily emails I get from my sisters, they are together today going to photograph a cemetery in a small town north of them.  It's hot there too so I hope they take breaks it's easy to overtax yourself in summer heat.  Next week they drive to Denver to see if Jimmy can have eye surgery..Poor guy diagnosed with diabetes and has gone almost blind.  He takes insulin and my sis has done a super job of keeping him as healthy as possible.  Back in 2003 or 2004 our dog Dixie who was living with my x husband went blind she was also diabetic, and she regained her sight after surgery at the University of Charleston Vet Hospital.  We don't know  if Jimmy will be a candidate for the surgery but we are hopeful that's next Week...cross your fingers.  I will be donating money to that cause. 

On that note:::
Horrible....I found an almost dead bird on my feeder yesterday a female house finch..it was about 7 pm when I went out to water my garden pots...I walked right up to her and picked her up not a good sign.
She had that conjunctivitis and was blind. I have had 100% success with treating birds that have this in the past I lost count of how many I was able to nurse back to complete health...20 or 25...so I set her up in infirmary treated her eyes and she settled pretty quick, I checked later she had found the seed I put in to eat, and the water also, last night before bedtime about 10 pm I checked her she was sitting on the roosting pole, but when I got up rather late this morning I checked her first thing she was dead in the bottom of the cage. 
Depressed is how I feel now.  Why, what went wrong? This is the very first one to die.  I had one Hummingbird die in my care during rehab back in the 1990's and  he had been found stuck to one of those fly paper things that people hang...So all day I can not shake this feeling of utter failure.
Death enters my life yet again.  Im so tired of that. 

I always have lots of things rolling around in my mind so Im sure it will be pretty easy to to have an entry.  Bad grammar and incorrect sentence structure off the wall punctuation will be the norm.
