Like I promised, here is another thought, or just rambling as I have a habit of doing.

      As some of you know, I hurt my arm/shoulder a few months ago. Well, had it x-rayed, but haven't gotten the results yet. (that's because I've neglected to call the doctor.) I will tomorrow, just hate to spend money if I have to go in just to talk. Have been miserable, but hanging in there, or should I say that the arm just hangs there when I'm not using it. LOL.
   Garden is better than last year. Peas, string-beans and squash are in the freezer. Not a whole lot, but enough for a couple of meals for me. Pumpkin plant grew out of it's containment area. And tomato's are over-flowing. Don't think they will all ripen, but they sure are pretty. Oh, getting a few potatoes too. Betty is still laying, but is quite confused with the weather. Not much sun, but most days are still warm.
     Have to post a new story. Yes, I know, I've been saying that. And I will. I promise. Have been working on  'Beyond This Galaxy' a little at a time. Should, (I hope), have it finished by the end of August.
     Some know that I've joined a few 'on Face-Book' writing groups. And I'm on Twitter, well it tickles the heck out of me how some of these writers do their thing on the computer, and are able to spend so many hours writing. I know it takes a lot of time. I'm not on the computer much, but when I am, it seems like the day rushes by and nothing else gets done. I want to know their secrets. I did mention, on last posting, that when a person gets older, time goes by faster, or so it seems. Well maybe that's it. Most are a lot, (and I say it without prejudice), younger than me, so that has to be it. Time for younger people goes slow, while the older we get, it goes faster and faster. Now I'm up by 6:30, most mornings, let the dogs out, put Betty out into the yard, feed the inside and outside cats. Feed the dogs, get a cup of coffee, I generally set it for a morning pot, take a couple pills, and sit down to let my body catch up with me. Sometimes I even have a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Do morning dishes, straighten up the house, vacuum and throw a load of clothes in the washer. (I don't do all of it each day, but you get the idea). Day is half over and I need something to eat. Oh, in the mean-time, I'm letting the dogs in or out. (Now that's a have too job all day). Sometimes I need to go shopping for food, and other things. That's an all day project as it's 30 miles, one way, to good shopping. Ok, just like now, had to stop to cover Bettys crate, its raining. Excuse me, Time to get something for pain...Ok, will take a bit to work, Think the Ritis brothers has my number. Worse when it's dampish or raining.
     Anyway, back to my rambling. If anyone would like to take on my chores so I can write more, your more than welcome to do it. Or if you know of a way to slow down my day so I will have more time, please let me know.  
      Thanks; B.AnnaLee

Hello Everyone.

    This past month has been a busy one, and a lazy one. I know, it doesn't make sense, but it's the truth. Had a wonderful get together with my daughters at the end of July. They wanted to celebrate my 75th birthday(even though it isn't until September). Now I'm starting to wonder if they have alternative motives. Hum...well I guess I'll just wait to see what happens.
    And I messed up my right arm a couple of months ago (that's the lazy part). Think it's just muscles, and at my age it takes longer to heal. Of course I have to keep using it. (I am right handed) and when it starts to feel better I use it more than I should. Will have to keep waiting on the muscle situation too. Busy part--Yes, I try to keep busy writing, checking on Betty, (made her a new house, even with a picture on the door, but she wants the old one), taking care of the cats and dogs, watering garden, and plants inside, and just doing all the little things that need to be done, but couldn't do when both arms were working, cause they were heavier and harder things that I had to do with both needed done then 'cause it couldn't wait.  I'm now waiting to see if it all works out. Now I hope you understood that. I did, completely. Seems like I am in a waiting game, doesn't it.
    It's hard to comprehend that September is already upon us. (well, in another week). Winter will be following pretty darn quick. I have been changing clothes around (another busyness) where my winter clothes are right in front of me in the closet. Will just have to put my left arm in and grab.
    Getting a few other things winterized too. Making room for plants that can't stay outside, like my Peanut-Butter-Tree. Yes there is such a thing. Look it up. Been baby-sitting my sister's house plants since she moved. They are growing and growing, so have to make more room for them and mine. Guess they like the Sea-Crop fertilizer I've been giving them. Might have to re-pot a few. Haven't decided yet.
    By the way. Haven't been writing/typing because of my arm. Will try to get another story posted soon. In the meantime, will try to post on this blog now and then. Even though nothing makes much sense to anyone but me.
