A test of patience....

I am glad once again that I have a couple of weeks of doing better behind me as today so far has been.... a challenge.

I was up from 3:30 to 4:30 this morning with a cramp in my shoulder muscle...the one that runs from the neck and across the back of the shoulder.. that was new and quite the experience let me tell you. I am having issues maintaining water in my body... I bought gatorade which I hate.. this morning and I will drink it to take care of my body.

I took the old truck into have it inspected and turned on the wipers to see them just fall apart... so I had to go get new ones. Since I didn't think ... and remember that this is the last sat of the month the line was long... but I am stubborn and waited it out even though it didn't have to be done today. My reward was that they had real heaters in there.. I don't mean these electric jobs I mean FLAMES... I roasted myself like was on a spit! SOMETHING GOOD!

I got home to realize that is was 60 degrees in my house... we are in the middle of a very cold snap. After resetting the breaker and all that good stuff it still didnt work. I thought perhaps it was the thermostat so I drove 25 miles to the local Home Depot to get a new one... came home wired it up and still doesnt work. I now know what is wrong with it and will be ordering it online.... Sadly today it is a high of 33 and a only have space heaters... I don't want to run off and leave the animals in the cold so I will tough it out here. I go have a kerosene heater that will heat pretty good .. but I need a wick and that is 18 miles away at the man mall.

I don't think I can stand another trip out in the cold and tonight will be in the teens. I have plenty of blankets and quilts and animals lol we will huddle.

So I am trying to stay focused today on the good... because it feel like I am being poked with a pitch fork.

The kids are on the way and we will hang out ...
