goodbye october!!!.....

Yeah so it's Halloween!!!...
 
Staying home tonight...it's been rather windy and damp feeling...not good for me to be out in tonight...I had several invites tonight, but i'm just staying home and thinking about how I should have went somewhere tonight.....LOL....sometimes when I feel that it's best to stay home from something I usually end up being completely right about it!!!...
 
I would have probably been miserable at any party tonight or seen someone I didn't wanna see...haha...ya know how that goes.
 
of course I have bought a big bag of

 

I will regret the sugar tomorrow..but I say Who Cares!...some people I know are probably at the bar tonight partying somewhere anyway, as is my Dad and everyone else!....but me i'm not.....

 

I have to agree with Ryan this world doesn't make any sense to me either...I mean, I find myself wanting to stay away from society more and more...it's just the weirdness with people and the way they treat you/act/think/behave...it's just truly confusing and i don't want to try to figure them all out..you can drive yourself crazy worrying with this dysfunctional world we all have to see and live in......

 

I suppose that's why I like to stay home most days and work with animals...NOT people..of course I'm not a hermit or psycho I DO have friends and family I see and spend time with...haha!.it's just the strangeness of people in general out there ya know?

 

I'm not going to be someone i'm not or change my life to "fit in" as those people think i should...i'm happy they can have their weirdness and go on about their own business.

 

see you in November!....lol.

 

nite.

smalltown health care.....

Foggy all day...I had a lot of errands to do, so this morning I called and got the P.A. to call me in a new antibiotic--3 day Z pack....last night I coughed non-stop...I took a hot shower which the steam did seem to help a little at 1am...my head/neck/chest and entire body hurt bad this morning....Advil has helped with that.

What really makes me mad is how in the smalltown nearby that's closest---they have a small medical clinic with limited equipment and a nurse or 2...but no real licensed doc...just a physician's assistant who can write prescriptions/evaluate you, but isn't really too keen on what's going on with you....but has his attitude that he believes he is a real licensed doc....lol....where's the licensed docs?...I guess they don't wanna live in the middle of nowhere and get less pay or be talked about....ha.

Like Grandpa said today;"Smalltown politics, everyone knows everything and everyone's business(they think)you can't get away with anything..everyone knows your every move"....haha...I couldn't get away with anything if I tried and I live in the country!!!..My Dad lives down the road from me....LOL!
 Everythings kinda always a rip off around here when it comes to doctors or anything like that...like today when I called in to tell the nurse my antibiotic gave me an allergic reaction she says:"Oh, he may want to see you before he calls in another prescription.".....I got mad and I told her:"No...look,i was just in his office to see him a few days ago I paid you already....he already knows what is wrong with me..i just need my medicine changed so I can get better."....she cleared her throat and said:"OH ok!....um....I will tell him, i will call you back.".......

See, it's all about trying to get more money out of you clearly....why is everything a total rip off anymore?...yes, i'm grouchy but geez....i'm sooooo tired of "the run around" about everything!!!

of course that took all day---finally called it in at 2pm and it takes me awhile to get to town...Totally ruins my whole day when i have stuff i gotta get done and then have to wait on the P.A. to decide when to call in a new medicine for me....all the while i'm feeling really bad and grouchy....lol....

nite.

allergic reaction....

Been a rainy day....my favorite kinda day actually...rain makes the fields/pastures grow.

guess I don't have to help plant wheat fields this week! yay!

Was up most the night last night coughing, wheezing, sneezing...couldn't breathe....found out from the pharmacist that I am allergic to the Bactrim antibiotic the Dr. prescribed me....yeah..just great huh?...I have been itching all over last night and this morning after my morning dose....I felt awful...so far I have taken Bactrim/6 tablets over the past few days...the allergic reaction showed itself last night.

pharmacist told me today to stop taking the Bactrim antibiotic and take Benadryl....so I took 1 as a dose, then another 1, 4 hours later....still sneezing like crazy...so I gave in!....I took 2 more separately spaced apart by 2 hours...now the sneezing has STOPPED!...finally.....relief.

man, it's been rough with the sneezing, coughing, wheezing....and they are all allergic reactions to this Bactrim antibiotic...never again.

I will call the Dr. on Monday and get some other antibiotic to fight this bronchitis/sinus crap....miserable....really wish I wasn't an allergy sufferer!!!...being that I work in allergy causing situations every day...and I love all my animals..who also all cause the sneezes unfortunately.

my big allergies are to stupid ol' mountain cedar and ragweed....we've tried to push out every cedar on this place with the bulldozer...just for me!...lol..besides mountain cedars love to suck up all your water sources..they will drain your land dry fast.

nite.

not just a steer...he's my pet.

On Monday--finished getting all the calves that need to be weaned, loaded up and moved....Those guys always get through fences somehow and they're pretty good sized calves...It's like magic or some vanishing act they do to get through a fence line....lol.

Had a huge long talk with the men(elders) in my family about selling my steer....His name is Blue(named after my fave color) I raised him on a bottle and fed him in the barn until he got big enough to pasture out...His mama abandoned him an no other cow could take him....so someone had to raise him...and it was me..Of course I have fell in love with him and he is more a big ol pet than just a steer...he runs out to greet me in the pasture and bucks and kicks when he sees me....aww!...he licks my arm and hand so I will pet him....it's really cute and I see him as a pet NOT just a steer.

He's been banded so he's a steer now...really I wanted him for a bull for the herd but there's already a bull and you know they would fight..so at my Grandpa/Uncle's/Dad's advice I had to have him banded months back.....So now sunday nite they all had a talk with me about selling Blue because I could get about$1200 for him right now with prices being so good...and...I...said....NO!

Of course it's going against all a real cattleman stands for and especially in this family...I'm the only girl and naturally I see things differently than they do....Sure I will pass up $1200 because I love Blue he is like a pet....I raised him and he is attached to me...they think i'm crazy and disagree...They kept saying "That's no way to work an outfit...you can't keep it running wasting money like that kid!!!"

I know they think I am crazy for not wanting to sell him..but he's a pet to me...and I think it should be my call on this one.....$1200??? who cares he's staying.

oh! and finally saw the Dr. about my sinus infection/bronchitis---gave me Bactrium.....hope I get better!

perfect fall day....

 

I did some baking today and I made pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing.

 

Sooooo GOOD! everyone agrees....guess I can make pumpkin bread?...haha..

 

It's been ALOT cooler this week and is starting to really feel like fall....perfect baking day.

 

It' so funny how people get "all about the pumpkin" this time of year...lol...Well, it's hard not to--pumpkins are everywhere....All of the stores are running low on pumpkin pie mixes and pumpkin in the can...Luckily I took the advice of friends a few weeks ago and stocked the pantry with pumpkin in a can, pumpkin pie mixes and also other various canned items....

 

the stores around here don't keep their shelves stocked....so if you don't buy something when you see it..you may have missed out this season...oh to live in the middle of nowhere!.....haha...but I love it..being isolated in a way...

 

 

the past few days have been busy...I have a lot of things to get done this week...don't think i'm going to church tomorrow i'm just way too tired..
