pluggin’ along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
we’ve been hanging in there this past week.\u00a0 amelia and iliana got in a huge spat last thursday and it all ended with amelia ripping out one of her claws.\u00a0 ouch!\u00a0 i rushed her to the vet, but they determined the claw was completely ripped out, so they flushed the wound, gave her some strong antibiotics, some pain pills, wrapped her up in a cast, and sent her home.\u00a0 two hours later we were back in action.\u00a0 iliana missed her the entire time she was gone.\u00a0 will said she was freaking out while we were gone, but its so strange that they fight with each other when they are together.\u00a0 just like real sisters – i reckon.<\/p>\n
we’ve finally gotten back into the groove of cooking our own meals and eating things that are on my low carb diet.\u00a0 sunday i baked a ham and then used the ham bone to make a large vat of granny style green beans.\u00a0 granny could have offered me brownies or green beans, and i would have always gone for the beans.\u00a0 nothing like granny’s green beans!\u00a0 i tried to make them about 4 months ago, but did not do a very good job.\u00a0 this version cooked with the ham bone for about 8 hours on monday and they turned out perfectly granny style!<\/p>\n
doing all of the yard work myself is no fun.\u00a0 sometimes its good to just have some company when you are up to your neck in weeds.\u00a0 but i put on my big girl panties and fixed one of the plant beds by the drive way this weekend.\u00a0 the other one is calling my name tonight, before the heat wave comes back!\u00a0 hopefully now i can just maintain this mess with tons of chemical warfare.\u00a0 i hate to use chemicals, but sometimes you really just have to.<\/p>\n
the bump comes and goes, and lately its more gone than here – so we hope we are moving in the right direction.\u00a0 with everyone’s prayers and focusing on the miraculous disappearance of the crazy old thing, we hope we can kick it without any further surgery!\u00a0 keep on praying!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
