Take It Easy, Old Lady

Well, today was weird. 

I did not feel like taking a walk. I didn't feel bad, I just didn't want to do it and something was telling me not to. But because I'm a stubborn ass I decided that I was being silly and put on my walking shoes and took off. It was hot. 
Sometimes I play little games with myself to make myself walk further. Today's game was to take pictures of all the churches I pass on my walk which would take me down past No Man Lord's and to the county line and then back through Lloyd. I passed my house on the way to the third church and really did not feel like going any further but, you know- keep on truckin', right? 

So I walked up to where the interstate connects to Highway 59 and then back down Main Street so I could get the last two churches. By the time I got to the post office, I was ready to ask a stranger for a ride to my house which was about a block away. 

But I didn't. Of course. 

By then, the weird stomach/side pain I've had off and on for a few days was a tad screamy and I felt like I was about to spontaneously combust from heat. 

Reader. I did not feel good. 

I managed to do a few things like put laundry in the dryer and give Ralph a new vacuum bag and then I just had to lay down on my unmade bed where I read for awhile and then fell asleep. I was not in horrible pain but fairly strong discomfort, shall we say. 

I got up a little while later, ate a yogurt, made up the bed with the dry sheets and went back to sleep for about an hour. Woke up and I'm feeling almost 100% better. 
Still, I feel that it may soon be time to go see Dr. Zorn. 

I am thinking gall bladder, perhaps. I'm amazed I still have one. 

In the meantime, let's get through the weekend without a trip to the ER and all will be well. 

So did I get my pictures? 

You bet! 

And you know what? I remembered just now that there's another church that I pass on my walk but it's down a dirt road and I did not get a picture of that. So that's five churches within a mile of my house. 

This is the church next door to me. Our property extends behind it. 

The church up near the interstate. 

And now for the BIG church. 

I will leave it to you to determine which one of these churches does not have fish fries to raise money. 

When I moved to Lloyd, that last church was not nearly as big but then some years ago, about twenty luxurious-looking RV's moved onto the lot and a church-raising occurred. They were there for months and I have to say they built a fine looking church. I have only been in it to vote as it is a voting location. 

That's a little spot down near No Man Lord's place that must have been a homesite at one time because azaleas like that don't just occur naturally. They must be planted. And if you look closely, you can see that there are actually two varieties there. 

Another little mystery of Lloyd. 

Jessie reports that August just told her that his pain level is "zero and a quarter." I'd say that's pretty good. 

And look what Mr. Moon just found in the garden:

Potatoes coming up! That was fast. The onions are sending up shoots too. 

Happy Friday, y'all. 

Love...Ms. Moon
