Not Much

 Boy, have been doing nothing... well, did clean house Friday.  Boy, was it ever due!!! Had picked up most of the leaves, got 11 of those HUGE black garbage bags full. and today brian got another two, as he finished.  I am incapacitated.  My hip, the one with the partial replacement, is excruciating.  Know idea why and more than likely need to go to the doctor.  but... don't want to, have my well check up in Dec and will just have to 'soldier on' until then.. Getting up from sitting down and then sitting back down, bending over, all are to be avoided.... of course just sitting is fine... 

Reading "the Book of Two Ways" by Jodi Picoult and.... just don't know, about death and dying and Egyptian  "digs" and mythology... which is hard to keep straight.. but there are two stories going one with the same people... before and  15 years later, after...I like her writing, but this is a different one...

Brian's work is really starting to pick up and he is getting up earlier and earlier. their (UPS) goal is to get everything in the delivery trucks by 10am, so they can get to their routes, so can sort of guess by how many pkgs coming in from different places, freight and air,  the day b4 and how many they have working (if they show) how long it will take to accomplish this.  Very few times are they late.. don't see how it works, but nerves do get frayed :) and he has to be there by 3am.... NOOOOOO he manages just fine, and i don't even hear him anymore, and of course does not bother Luci....

I did get all of my cards, Halloween and birthday, done.  now need to progress to xmas.  also have a bunch of material i got to do pillowcases (guess the Halloween ones are now late) hmmmm, and bowl holders and large hot pads. Got some really neat material from quilt store in Bend... sort of more than i would like to pay, BUT it is really nice and pretty.  Just have to stand to get things cut, then sit to sew. And sewing does NOT make me relax.  Mom always said it relaxed her and she could go to her zen place.. i go to my anger place, if things do not go as they should.  Also have some mending to do and a cover for a heating pad that i have, that the cover is old and falling apart.  

Most all of the yard work is done. Just have to get all of those leaves to the recycle.. i DO love the smell of those Fall leaves!!! What is that?, it is a special smell. as an aside... One year, must have been the year i was in Iowa in the RV,  2010 as that was the year i was there in the Fall.  Carol knew some people that had a co-op thing with a bunch of families and they owned an old farmstead in the country a couple miles  from their home in Genoa in Illinois, so it took us an hour or so to get there.  And they had a Halloween Fall feast with all the families.  We took her oldest grandchild,  Made/painted pumpkins, there was a fire, with burning leaves, chili in the hall and then stories around the fire.  It was a fun night and everyone was really nice.  It was just a nice family affair with the kids in Halloween garb. There were LOTS of trees along a little river. And there was that smell.....

That, all i have, lots of rambling and not much really going on. I think the car has been in the garage for 4 days....

Take Care and God Bless
