Shout-out to Sandi, who lost her husband recently. There are no words. Just lots and lots of love and hugs – and EARS – just to listen.

I tried a new Keto friendly recipe in the crock pot yesterday called, “Slow Cooker Crack Chicken,” by Katerina at diethood.com . It was like pulled pork, but with chicken. My husband really liked it and wants me to do it again.

I just heard one of our driveway alarms. If it only makes noise once, there is probably a deer standing in the driveway. If it goes off twice, one after the other, it means someone is coming up the driveway. It went off only once, but I got up, checked it out, and then took a quick walk around the yard.

The elephant ear sprouts are much larger. One is about 6 inches tall now. I’m excited about them producing actual leaves soon. We have three plants and all are looking good so far.

The tomato plants are looking healthy, as well. I’ll try to get out and see if they need some pruning, fertilizer, water, etc. later today.

I didn’t weed whack or spray yesterday, so that’s still staring me in the face today. I’m good at staring right back, though, and then ignoring. :0)

Jet, our new cat, and I are getting to know each other, one day at a time. We have a cat door latch that is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, that will prop her door open so that she can go in and out of the back bathroom, where all her stuff is, but that Amber, our dog, can’t get in. Jet has been herding me there, and I’m learning to pay attention, follow her and open her door, leaving her in there to eat, drink some water, use her kitty litter, or just spend time alone. (I’ll still have to actually shut her in there when Amber – or we – are eating anything, but otherwise, I’m hoping she’ll catch on quickly that her freedom and options are increasing.)

My husband yesterday risked being thrown into the now theoretical hole in the backyard by going on the back porch to let Amber out, saying, “The cat wants to go out, too!” I leaped up, yelling, “NOOOOO!!” He came in laughing, delighted to having been so successful in yanking my chain. He apologized, though it was lost in the fact that he was still laughing…

A beautiful day today here in Arkansas. I hope your weather and your day are fabulous.

I’ve been having lower back pain the last few days – due probably to old age, rather than having strained it in any way.

This afternoon I decided I would do a session of yoga for my lower back and then a ‘flow’ to see if they would help. I was in the middle of my practice, doing deep, conscious breathing while trying to press my lower back into the floor, when all of a sudden my dog decided to step over me to get to his bed.

This doesn’t sound like much except our pit bull, Bambi, weighs about 80 lbs now and is a clutz in the first order of magnitude. I realized vaguely what was happening and put my arms up to defend myself, causing his foot to GRAZE the outer edge of my right eye, rather than stepping directly ON it. Needless to say, even grazing my eye hurt like the devil.

My husband was in his chair watching the whole thing, eating Doritos, seemingly oblivious.

I rolled over, getting up as fast as this old lady could – especially with back pain,-and limped to the bathroom to see how bad my eye was. I really lucked out. The outer edge of my eye socket is pretty sore to the touch, and I may end up with a bit of a shiner, but that seems to be the extent of it. I made an ice pack and held that on it for a bit, and then took some Ibuprofen. My husband finally asked me if I was all right. HE’s still all right, too. I’ve decided that if I DO get a shiner, I’ll suggest my husband was the cause of it….

Bambi, who is old and deaf, never realized anything happened and is happily snoring on his dog bed. I decided that I would be unable to relax enough to continue my exercise today, so I’ll try it again tomorrow.

I have learned yet another good lesson of doing yoga – make sure the animals are all in the office behind the gate before I start!
