MY GOATS ARE BACK IN THEIR PASTURE TODAY! It was a long haul. Three days of “goats in the kitchen”. (Sounds like the title for a book!) But they did great all three days. When I finally put them back into their pasture last night, they even seemed a little reluctant to go. […]

GOAT PLAN My goat plan for today through Tuesday is to crate them separately in my kitchen area during the dangerously hot hours of the days so I don’t have to goat-sit them 13+ hours every day. I still have two drainage tubes in my abdomen, so goat-sitting four occasionally rowdy small breed

Perilous Heat Here With the perilous heat we’re experiencing here in the Pac NW, I’ve devised ways to keep the goats from perishing. I’ve ordered cooling blankets for them, plus a misting system. They won’t arrive until tomorrow or Monday, though. In the meantime, I’m buying block and crushed ice in bags

I’m feeling great but my temperature spiked to 99.8 last night so I took two Tylenol and monitored myself every several hours all night long.

Today’s question: What is your happiest childhood memory? I’m back to rifling through my Wordsmith Deck for topics to blog about. (Recovering from surgery in relative isolation has caused a major disruption in my ability to accrue new blogging materials!) My happiest childhood memories all revolve around animals. I’ve been an animal lover for

Century Link Internet is down. Again. It’s midnight. Amazon/Alexa stopped playing my music a while ago, so I woke up to ask for a refresh, only to find Alexa unable to serve. So, then I researched a little, wondering if mighty Amazon had been hacked. Nope. It’s just my dopey Century Link Internet again.

I just ordered a second abdominal binder so I have two decent ones to swap out regularly. The one I’ve had on hand for years wasn’t comfortable for 24 hours at a stretch, and I have to wear one continuously for at least a month. I came home with a serious abdominal binder installed

I wore myself out this morning walking so much at two different times. The first time was about 6:30a.m. when I took 30 laps around part of my back yard (which is 100 steps around for one rotation, not 50 as reported earlier). I didn’t get overly tired then, so at about 10 I
