I sit here with a tight back, eating a mayo and pickle sandwich.  I am pondering the events of just this morning and am contemplating stopping the day.

Putting the dogs out I see that they didn't stop doing chem trails all night.   These pictures of the sunset last night were beautiful, but marred by all those chem trails in the sky.

Even covering the first star out.   Now I see another first thing this morning spanning as far from west to east as the eye can see.  

Why won't this toilet quit running?   The old tried and true shake the lever wasn't working so I called on my personal maintenance man.  The floater came off right in his hand, so we turned off the tank water and will use a bucket until we get a new part.

Tom went off to work this morning and as he was leaving somehow I knocked a small jar of wax over on the cement board by the stove.  I wanted to melt it so I could get it out.   Splash!  All over.  So I grabbed a loose knife blade and peeled it off the board and the 1 1/2 foot of flooring it spilled on. 

Plugging along I still had intentions of taking some advil for  my back, but stepping out in the mudroom I put it off a little longer.   I scrubbed down the entire mudroom floor and misc. places with some warm water and ammonia.  Cats!

So now I am really filthy and it is only 9:30 a.m.  Time to take that shower.  By this time I am looking like Quasimodo moving around the house.   Warm shower and clean clothes.  Yeah! Time to start again.  I took the drugs and sat down to do some mending.  Can't JUST SIT THERE.  So Tom has two pairs of work jeans mended and I jimmied my overalls so I can hook the straps over my shoulder.  I have worn them so much the hardware broke off and I lost a button.

That being done, Jessalyn never did go out between class to take care of the animals and I know that by 1:00 p.m.  the pigs have to be hungry.  So feeling a little more limber put my outside winter coveralls on and out I go.  I had turned the water on because I knew it had to be thawed by now.   RIGHT ON  it sure was.  I saw it finally busted out the bulge in the hose.  So it was running over 5 minutes or more while I got dressed and strolled on out there.   No one to help,  I worked my way back inside and through the house as fast as my back would let me and turned the hose off.  Luckily someone had filled a five gallon bucket so I had water for the pigs.  The horses were out so I think their big black tub still had water.

No eggs in either house.  I had moved them over to the winter house because of the snow but yesterday they gave us two eggs.  So far none today.
