I'm staying inside where it's cool. We did get some rain yesterday though!! I know all the little birds and critters loved that. Everything is so dry here. Just made it very humid though. Today it's in the 80's and humid. Tomorrow is going to be our worst day this week. In the 90's and very, very humid. Then the rest of the week it's supposed to be comfortable.
Jim's wife sent me an e-mail last night and said that Kailyn's graduation party went well and the food was good. She didn't say who else was there but I know Jane and Jeanne were going.
I haven't been doing much. Every morning I'm up at 6 am and I watch for the fox pups and the fawns but I haven't seen them. The mommy deer was out here all alone for a couple days. Guess the other doe was watching the kids..Ha! One of the women upstairs is outside upstairs with a little dog before 7 am so that stops the animals from coming over. She's just babysitting that dog I think. But the other woman has a dog and she goes out or ties hers outside her window all the time.
I can't believe it's the middle of July already. The Ilion Days are here already. I guess their village wide garage sales were Saturday. Then their big Doo-Da parade will be this Friday evening. I used to go watch them all the time a few years back. No more.
My cousin, Jack, and his wife, Jeannie, are here from CA. Jeannie will be leaving next week to go back. jack will be staying another month. They have their home up on Casey Road outside of Mohawk. But their permanent home is in CA. They will be stopping by sometime this week to see me. I'm glad because I might not get to see Jack if I don't go to the reunion this year. And I haven't seen Jeannie in a couple years. Maybe three.
The lump in my groin is getting bigger. but not bothering me much. I'm not feeling bad these days except for the weak legs. But so far no pain in my knee or back this week. Yay! I haven't taken any Ibuprofen at all. I also quit taking the White Willow Bark caps. I want to see how I feel without anything at all. Sort of testing myself.. I do take a few herbs or natural supplements every day though. I take Co-Q10, 100 mg and L-Carnitine, 500 mg and Vit. D-3. 2,000 IU. I also take Vit. C sometimes. And I take one capsule of Oregon Grape Root. 475 mg. Don't ask why. I just have read that they are good for fighting cancer and keeping your immune system up. I don't take calcium. I don't think it's good for me. Every time I started to take it years ago, something would tell me not to. I did take a good multiple sometimes but now I don't. Mostly because there's too much in them that I don't need in my body. The B Complex vitamins are good though. I need to buy some. But I eat enough veggies I think and an egg every day. Lately I am sticking to brown rice with my veggies in it. Lots of broccoli and spinach and mixed veggies. I also eat Avacados now. Not all the time but I try. They always seem to go bad before I can eat them.. I've been buying more beans lately also. White Kidney or red. And Garbanzo Beans. Or Chick peas. One thing I make sure I drink every single morning first thing is fresh squeezed lemon juice with a little pure water. Nothing else in it. I hear it's good for the liver. So I will always drink that as long as I can. I never drink milk. Only Almond Milk or Almond mixed with Coconut Milk with natural cereal and a banana about an hour after I drink my lemon juice. Then about an hour and a half after that I eat a scrambled egg. Only because my birds love them. And a piece of Pumpernickle bread toasted with real butter and peanut butter. I eat a lot in the mornings. Then I just pick till about 3:00 and then eat dinner.
I've been on an ice cream kick lately, which isn't good. And back to eating sweets. So I'll never lose any more weight that way. I love Butter Pecan Ice cream. Or maple walnut. Oh well! Ha!
Guess I better go watch out the window for any critters. My birds are covered for the night and now I have some peace and quiet again.
Take care everyone.
