Oh my goodness.
How can I be so busy and feel like I'm not getting anywhere?!
I can't get much done with the stocking up. One reason or the
other either money like everyone else or energy to get things
organized. It's amazing how many times I have changed my kitchen or
another area since this plandemic hit! Things change and my house has to
change with it whether it is for health or trying to have food around.
Thought I would check something out.
When I go to town and talk to the clerks so many are totally unaware
of the world and what is going on.
Q: I ask them are you trying to get a little stocked up at home?
A: For what?
Well with some extra food with all that's going on in the world.
Q: Did you know farmers can't get parts to run the tractors or
fertilizer for the fields?
A: Really?
EX: Yes if the farmers can't get parts they can't run those big
tractors to do the field work and plant
If they can't get fertilizer the plants won't grow enough
food.
OH.... really?
Q: How many people do you have in your family?
One younger early 20's said her mom and dad live with HER and
BOYFRIEND not the other way around.
Another woman said it's just her and her 3 kids.
Someone else will say just her & husband and kids.
You hear all kinds of mixes.Nobody says anything about stocking up.
Just about how expensive everything is.
Very few garden or even think about it.
I have handed out printed sheets of the 4/25/100/ 1000 people
on how
much it takes to feed for one year to a few interested people I see
at doctors or other places. Some people just the 4 people sheet.I
have given out slips of paper with just the website where they can
do the math for their family.
All seem very interested. My Dr. with the complete set thought that
was fascinating she loves that kind of stuff.
The nurses that come out for hubby are interested.
Most have never thought about it.
Most talk about how expensive things are.
Some I have mentioned to again in a week or so indicated they
were starting to get some extra. Talking about finding buckets in stock is hard.
I still need to talk to and find out if the local preachers get together so I can take
this information to them and bring the worlds issues to their
attention from the preppers point of view if they haven't been going
that direction already.
I talked to the local small town grocery store manager. I stopped
in the office and told them they are doing a really good job of
keeping things on the shelves and thank you for having sales on
canned goods like 2/$1 veggies. They enjoyed hearing the good stuff
and with a really worried look told me he doesn't think he will have
anything by Christmas. Oh yes I picked up a 28# turkey while I was
there. No clue if we are going to have any holidays with anyone or
anything. Sure is hard to get in the mood.
There is so much to do from all angles. Physically my O2 is limited when I'm moving around. It drops
down between 85 and 90 sometimes lower when moving around much. I
just do a bit then rest and keep on going. Asthma, COPD, allergies,
heart who knows all the above or just this or that.
I have been doing some heart tests and will find out more this
Wednesday. So far my GP just says a valve or something isn't opening
all the way and they may want to put a stint in me. If that's all
then ok that's not to bad. My husband says I'm a war horse! I'll be
fine.LOL
The other side tells me I'll be ok I won't like it but I will be
fine. LOL great! As always cryptic! I tell them I need some help
losing weight they tell me that's coming but "we" have to fix a few
things first.
Hubby is getting closer to the surgery date on his back. Sometime
about December 16th depending on if he can get caught up on the
surgeries due to lack of nursing staff. Like a dummy I forgot the say if
they would quit firing people over no shot then they wouldn't have a
problem!
Surgeon says it is 100% fixable. The procedure is only 1 hour and in the
hospital for 1 day and up and around after that! Some pain but much
better than now and it will be a healing pain.
Most people don't have a problem at all with simple things like
putting on socks and shoes or lifting their leg, riding in the truck or
sitting is easy but these things still about kills him sometimes. He had
PT people come out and show him some exercises and really couldn't tell
improvement. The damage is just there and hard to do much with it. The
nerve damage is making for numbness and tingling in the feet also. That
is supposed to improve or go away with the surgery. That's a lot better
than the scope in to repair the bleeding ulcer and 16 hours of 4 units
of blood tanking up and rejuvenating of 5 days! It will be nice not to
help him with shoes and socks but that isn't anything compared to the
blood loss! With that it was everything to get dressed and helping him
up and down in an out and making sure he didn't fall and begging him to
eat.
The official Dr. words for his back issue are spondylosis of lumbosacral spine with radiculopathy. Mainly just worked to hard for too long with arthritis thrown in .
I am trying to unpack my little 10 x 10 everything room close to
the kitchen I have used for everything I enjoy and need. It honestly
has a path because I have never had enough room for "stuff" hubby
always had the barns etc outside or the garage attached to the
house. I want to turn this into a pantry. I want to put in some
rolling shelves from Sam's that are 5' long and tall and 2' wide if
they ever get them back in stock. Even if I get things all cleaned
out I don't know if I can fit my computer desk and printer etc. in
there comfortably. All I can do is try.
I have moved some shelves for medical things into Jon's room.
Mainly natural things or tylenol, vitamins, Boo Boo's, extra Rx meds for
asthma,bandages, slings,
crutches, and about 600 1oz dropper bottles of homeopathic energy
meds.
Still more to go on organizing. It will look good once I get the
bottles where they belong.
I don't seem to have time to bake anymore but I am trying to get
things put back together enough I can. I need to bake to relax !
Speaking of relaxing. Oklahoma has gone full tilt in the pot growing market. You see grow houses everywhere! Some even have 2 or 3 high dollar drones flying around for miles away from their place staying up for over a hour at a time. Looking or patrolling folks have seen. They even communicate with each other watching folks. It's either government or someone making loads of money to afford those kinds. I talked to a friend with grows and he said the price has really dropped to nothing compared to what it was. He agreed. It's the big shake out. Whoever survives in business will be doing good.
I have had a amazing amount of advanced head gossip going on that
has surprised the heck out of me! That is another post.
Well that is the main stuff going on in this area. So much more in
different subjects for another post.
Love
Ranchmama
