That is the banana picture from yesterday. Look at all those little baby bananas!
Today has been just as exciting as every other day which is to say, not at all. I've been ridiculously useless and even sat and embroidered my silly embroidery on my falling-apart dress and watched some more of the last season of "The Office." I am not kidding when I tell you that I do not know what I'm going to do when it's over.
Maybe just watch the whole thing over again.
I've got a pain in my neck which, as I just told Lis, is better than a pain in my ass, I suppose. It's a rather serious pain. Not like freshly broken ribs but still annoying as hell. It's even giving me a slight headache. I know that when I fell I probably did all sorts of hellvacious damage to my spinal alignment if, indeed, I still had any to begin with. Add that to the fact that I've been having to pull on the doors around here to open them with all my might because they're all swollen up from the rain and humidity. I am NOT complaining about that. It's just a fact and I really do have to tug and tug and tug to get those doors open so who knows? Not me but it's even been waking me up at night. I should probably go see a chiropractor.
Besides that, though, everything is okay. Instead of feeling bad about being useless I've felt completely accepting of it. It is Sunday, after all and as a meme I saw the other day pointed out, even ol' Yahweh took Sunday off for a little self-care.
We all need self-care. So lean in and sit with that for awhile and don't forget your green tea, either.
I have to add that SOMEONE around here definitely did NOT take the day off. I found two extremely large eggs in the hen house today.
I think your day sounds great, minus the neck pain. Your bananas are darling! When you're done with The Office I think you should give Parks and Recreation a try. It's not as good, but it's pretty good! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! Parks and Rec is fun.
DeleteI started out when I was healing watching Parks and Rec and it is good but I got weary of it. I think that Amy Poehler's character annoys me.
DeleteIf your neck hurts you may want more than a neck jerk doctor, you may want an xray- remembering what happened to mine...broken bone, neck surgery, I ignored it for too long...don't do that!
ReplyDeleteEgg capital EGG! a one egg omelet for all the farm hands!!
Well, amazingly my neck is fine today. Weird, huh?
DeleteI know. That egg could be breakfast for at least two.
I could have sent you on my day at the thrift store. I bought not one, but five jackets. Total outlay: 16.01, tax included. I love thrift stores, and usually only go with Ann to St Vinnies in Wisconsin. But I haven't seen Ann, or anyone, for way too long. My legs and feet are so tired tonight.
ReplyDeleteFive jackets! I love thrift stores too and miss them. Funny how I miss thrift stores more than, say, Target. But yeah, you can wear yourself out shopping.
DeleteThanks for the chuckles! Maurice looks so content and like she may be dreaming. Wishing you a sweet night.
ReplyDeleteShe may well have been dreaming. Who knows?
DeleteI would definitely watch you and Mr. Moon on a reality show. I am sure that it would be better than the Kardashians which I have actually never seen. I guess that I am really out of the loop. Do you think those eggs are twins or maybe even triplets? Do chickens have triple yolks?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to see about the number of yolks in those eggs. I'm going to guess only one. But a big one. I have noticed that sometimes the yolks in eggs of different sizes are about the same size but that the amount of whites is different. I know nothing about the science of eggs.
DeleteHuge eggs! And the bananas are growing by the day! Your day sounds pretty darned good all in all.....mine was too. Crockpotted a pork roast with tomatillos and other things and made chili verde which was excellent over rice. Now thinking about bed and book already and it's only 7pm. hmm..... is there something wrong with me? Probably not...just the emotional weariness that begs for bed and book
ReplyDeleteSusan M
Ooh! I do love a delicious chile verde. SO good.
DeleteBook and bed is our reward for making it through another day. That's all there is to it.
It's about as exciting as my life:) And I don't think you'd have to wear a bra, Kim Kardashian doesn't. Your last name is perfect for TV.
ReplyDeleteLife With the Moons
Once In A Blue Moon
Moons Over Miami
The Man In The Moon, although that sounds pornographic
Harvest Moons
I'm waiting for my grandson to fall asleep obviously. He's spending three nights with us this week while his mama works.
Have a good Monday Mary.
The Many Moons of Lloyd?
DeleteCasa Luna(tic).
DeleteHow about that?
But Kim wears all that underwear she's selling, doesn't she?
You are a saint to keep that boy so much. I know you want to but I also know it's not easy.
The Honeymooners. I would watch you. It could be lovely restful slow tv. No bangs and buildings crashing and cars skidding. Just chickens chatting and cats loafing and Mrs Moon picking beans and clutching her neck. And Mr Moon saying you should get that looked at. Tune in tomorrow, for the Moons at the doctor's office..
ReplyDeleteHaha! I can't imagine that they'd get three minutes of watchable material from us a day. And since we basically do the same things every day it would get pretty boring.
DeleteThey could send us on romantic vacations in exotic places though. That would be cool. And goes along with the Honeymooner theme.
Hmmm, chicken nipple feeder. As PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."
ReplyDeleteOf course, he also said, “Nobody ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of the American public.” :)
Wait! Was that a pun? If so, I love it!
DeleteI sorta kinda really want one of those waterers. You hook them up to a hose and don't have to constantly be refilling them. Which would be awesome.
I love the pictures of bananas and eggs. Why wear a bra or do up hair? You could make a TV series because life is possible without all those constrictions.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, how about a visit to an osteopath? Instead of chiropractor? I just love my osteopath or maybe it's just the soothing smell of her wooden floors, but I feel great after every visit. So does my neck.
Good suggestion about the osteopath but my neck has had a miraculous recovery! I've never been to an osteopath. I'm not even sure if there's one around here.
DeleteGood Lord, those poor chickens. Imagine carrying around (not to mention laying) an egg that size when you're just the size of a chicken! I mean, I know they're made for that, but it makes me wince.
ReplyDeleteRe. your neck, sometimes these pains come and go. Here's hoping yours goes.
My pain DID just go. I'm amazed.
DeleteAs to the eggs- I told Glen that we should be able to tell which chicken laid them by just observing the hens walking around. I mean...really? Could a hen walk normally after that?
Maybe you should go and see a chiropractor (it would be worth it if he/she can get your neck pain sorted). I'm sorry you're having to deal with that though, on top of the just-now-healing ribs! And I agree, I think I'd rather watch the Moon family than the Kardashians any day - although I do wonder how you'd get on with the spanx!
ReplyDeleteNo Spanx for me, baby! Ever. Nope. Never, ever, ever.
DeleteActually, my ribs and neck feel pretty darn good today.
We'd be so boring. It would be the worst TV imaginable.
ReplyDeleteMy neck does feel better! Thank you!
those are some big eggs. those poor chickens. kinda like giving birth to a ten pound baby. and yes you should go see a chiropractor even if your neck feels better.
