Daily observations of my simple life.

Absorbing:

Seems like the last few days have been just too much. Yesterday, my neighbors were over  to help me with my driveway and truck. The neighbor was kind enough to bring me a pipe for the dip in the driveway where water runs and washes it out. So I got a load of what they call AB to cover the pipe.  At the same time I was having problems with my truck. Don't know what's wrong. It's jumping when I put it in gear. Sigh, big expenses this month, Manna's operation, new tires, driveway and now I'm fearful it might be something to do with the transmission.

On top of that a friend and I got into a misunderstanding about a business deal so I'm dealing with you said, I said, type of situation. Unfortunately I didn't follow my ususal rule of get everything in writing .

Yesterday , I just curled up in the evening and cried. Something I seldom allow myself but I needed it.

Manna's doing well but we still don't know the verdict of what's happening with her. Yes, she did try to sneak a bit of scratching of the wound last night. Fortunately because of the collar I can hear her when she is trying to scratch or chew.  We had some words during the night as I kept saying, " Manna, no chewing." 

Today is chilly but clear and I've been trying to keep busy. Not too much self absorbtion. Better to think of what needs doing and staying on track. 

Would like to put up more pictures but it seems motime only allows you a certain amount of space for photo's a month. Or am I wrong?

I ran into the same problem with photos. Found out there were 2 solutions. 1. Get a pro-blog [which I didn't want to do at that time] and 2. Get a free account on photobucket.com, download pics to that account - then upload [OK I still get up and down confused, so sue me - you understand, I think] to your post directly - only problem is, I can't remember exactly how to do that - I'll try to figure it out and get back to you.

Thanks for the advice. Yup it's the uploading and downloading and moving things around that are challenging. I think what I'll do is do both blogs. Blogspot allows me to put up a picture a day if I want.
