Words

Are sometimes hard to come by.
Last night David asked me about my Thyroid.
He was trying to think of the word. He said,
"Will you be able to make Noise, if they take it out?" He meant talk.
We both had a good laugh.
Noise? I am sure that is exactly what he was thinking.
I do make a lot of noise, especially when he gets home and I want to talk. He has talked himself out and I am jabbering about everything and anything.
What I did that day, (which is usually not much), What we need to get done around here, like get the garden plowed up. Plant some Lavender, I purchased Three very beautiful bushes at 3 33 each.
I need, No I have to get out there and put my soak er line in for my Cannas. They desperately need it, besides we had cool weather and one such cold front killed the new leaves. They are now putting out new leaves again. I want to work my Rose Garden but not sure if I have the energy. I know it looks bad, since the freeze burned a few of the new leaves there too and browned the rose buds.
I have to get my Tomato plants in, I want beautiful tomatoes and a lot of peas. I may put in corn again. You know this indecision is hard on me. I can never make a commitment to any thing until I just do something.
Do not ask me to commit. I just can't do that. Even deciding what to cook some days is a challenge. That is why I love to cook for two or three days at a time. Makes life so much easier. Add a fresh vegetable and you are set. Better yet drink a V=8 and you have you veggies.
We had Chicken the last three evenings. good too. Just leftover chicken and David took it in his lunch two of the days. All I cooked were five thighs and one half boneless, skinless breast. I cut them up to make more, like the breast becomes two pieces and the thighs become ten or less according to their size.
Now I have to think of dinner tonight and I am not interested. David has been eating so little, he pushes his plate back on the table and says I am not really hungry. Yesterday we added a baked potato with fresh chives, (from my garden) and one piece of chicken, and a V-8.
It is so easy to see why old people have to watch their food value intake. It is easy to not eat, or eat too little.
I need to have training from my Daughters MIL, she is a genius at preparing balanced meals in a very quick manner.
So for today, I think I will go back to bed and rest a while. Not a crime, I can do that. Not easily but if I am tired, I am tired. Might as well give in. Don't you think?
