Day 2 - Spider!

Day #2 Ramble

I can typically handle ugly bugs by myself, but before my coffee kicks in, well, I prefer not.

Husbands are useful for killing ugly spiders who want to share the shower with you in the morning. Marty got him and flushed down toilet even though he was sad to do so. Marty would prefer to let them live where they want to. Spiders and dandelions are both beloved and encouraged.

I am wondering if...then what may happen?...DISASTER likely!

I am away from home less than 20 hours a week, I keep telling myself I should get away more. Many details why, ...., health mostly, both mental and physical.

I imagine though... he will tell other's that he doesn't need help, (he may not, he can do much for himself, he just prefers me to do for him) but....sometimes he get's 'stuck' and tangled, or falls, or forgets he's cooking...He may not eat much or Healthfully. ... but...so what? he doesn't eat much or correctly for me sometimes...but...on the other hand, I want him to stay healthy, I want him to be happy and not concerned about either of us. ....and I want the same for me. healthy and not worried.

****story time****

Marty told me a story about when he was young on a farm in Ferndale, Washington. His Dad rented land on the Lummi Reservation, had cows he milked by hand, and they grew hay & sileage crops too. I remember he said they had the hay bailed out in the field then he lifted them to be loaded onto the truck by his sister Josie. Occasionally, he remembers that he did not get his bale hooks out soon enough, and Josie would lift him off of the ground! She was some strong little sister!

I read about the tiny-house and minimalistic living on the web, and that starts me romanticizing a bit about how nice it would be sometimes to live "off the grid"

All I need to do is listen to my husband about how they did not have electricity until he was in his twenties, and that the first 'job' he had was making sure the kindling box was full in the kitchen when he was a toddler. The reality of how difficult it was makes me glad I am not likely to have to 'rough it' any time soon.

All Saints day. FIRST DAY OF NANOWRIMO National Novel Writing Month Begins... Please support all the would be, aspirational, delusional, methodical, random, enthusiastic novelists and archivists who attempt to (and sometimes succeed) in documenting 50,000 words (or more!) in November.  THANK YOU to 31 Days!   I had a struggle to write daily, my not planning anything particular was a definite issue. I have much to learn about how a Blog works, how to make it work well, and how to ... probably things I do not know I need to know yet.

6th of October I enjoyed learning about Blessed Raymond yesterday. Thought I would tell story about Saint Bruno today then and see if he is as interesting to know. I am not thinking of much to tell about me. and feel like just zoning out on an Inspector Morse episode. AM Monday waking up with radio as usual. Readings and christian commentary on the news. Now though, looking carefully at my to-do list and hoping to move forward on it. A lovely pile of reminder papers on my desk. **Story**** I should be doing other things, so, I will give you the story of St. Bruno of Cologne as I figured it out. He was another administrator, behind the scenes person, and prefered a solitary contemplative life. Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030 – 6 October 1101), the founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the order's first two communities. Because of the "customs" involved within  Carthusian practice , Bruno was never officially canonised. Bruno is the patron of Calabria an

Hurting Feet and 32 years of Blessings

FYI: Just a couple days a week posts will be a more doable goal I think. Sunday or Monday & 'mid-week,' Nevertheless,  here is a composite post. re: Tiredness & some more about my history. So, I DO KNOW when to quit working. I decide, remind myself to care for my health, then 10 minutes (OK 30) later, I'm still standing here on hurting feet, squinting now (took glasses off when I told myself to stop earlier). Y, I walked away & took a break, lay down for a 15 minute rest that turned into an hour and a half nap. Tom does Not approve of Camera.  I feel so much better after a rest, yet I am still upset somehow that I need it. (It is Extra isn't it? to Nap is to be weak maybe?)  It's been, .. UM let's see, 1985, that would be.... 32!  32 years I've been 'only' tired.  Before they removed the tumour, I got to be tired with nausea and dizzy spells and seizures and mood swings. (OK so maybe the mood swings didn't entirely go away,
