It's been a cold, windy and frustrating day.

I'm not sure what's going on with my body, that left ankle has been swollen and sore for weeks, staying in bed keeps the swelling down to a minimum, and keeps the pain tolerable.
It's all I can do to wash the dishes daily, clean up after Chanel, and take out the trash.
There's also the mystery of the swollen throat glands, sore left ear, and general malaise.

My youngest child got all pissed off at me today, we were online playing a word game like Scrabble and I had to make a pit stop. He got a freaky on me, and wouldn't talk to me when I came back, had signed out of Yahoo, after leaving a bunch of symbols to show his anger at my leaving for a few minutes.
Why do people do that? What is that all about? Do they think they're the ONLY ones in the world? What if I'd had a heart attack? Or been attacked by a mountain lion?
What IF??
His attitude reminds me of other relatives I have, that have that same attitude.
God.

So my brownies and bread didn't get baked today, it's all I can do to make a meal and sit up. I feel like crap.

Guess it's better than the alternative~!

Well it's finally starting to pour buckets of rain! Amen to that! Hope it's pouring rain up in the Boundary Waters too where the fires have been raging for the last two weeks.

Now I won't have to go out tomorrow and fight to get that hose dragged over to the flower bed. Thank God for miracles :)

Did I mention I signed up on this free dating website? LOL, the first guy to try to connect to me was only 26 !! years old!! What the hell??? That's younger than my son!!!!! NO WAY! NO thanks, and thanks anyway, just go away and he kept trying, 3 or 4 times! If I could only get that response from guys my age! Guess they're looking at younger ones!!

I bought a new set of double curtain rods for my bedroom and hung up the lace panels first then over that is the satin knit rose colored panels. Looks nice and all, want to hang one more layer of lace, so I bought a tension rod for the lace panels and will put the lace swags on the double, underneath the rose panels. Makes perfect sense to me.

I haven't decided what to do with the living room window tho. It's huge, 92 inches wide, and only about 53 or 60 inches long. Anything that has a reflective type foam backing, or solar panels would be good. My apt. faces north, however want to try to keep as much heat out as possible come the hot weather.
Since I have lots of green plants, and want to keep it looking like a garden or woodsy retreat, I think green drapes would work ok.

I've been watching that Wavelit.com site now for sometime, love to watch the animals come to the watering hole. I've seen an elephant walking around in the pouring rain, seen giraffes eating the leaves off the tops of trees, early in the morning, and watched warthogs scratching their backs in the mud. It's a delightful website.

Well the rain has stopped already, short rainfall. Guess I'll go take a catnap and see if some sleep helps with the pain.

later...
