"Farm" life is killing me!!:) (The theme to Green Acres begins to play) While looking at my potted plants on the front porch, I misjudged the step and my toe caught on the edge of the bricks. I proceeded to trip/fall/bounce down all 3 steps and landed on the short column at the bottom where momentum almost let me somersault right onto the concrete...luckily my fat butt had enough weight/width that I held. I did cut a huge chunk out of the bottom of my big toe, bruised it and another toe, hurt my hip,my knee and my pride! My toe still kills and now I have a cramp in my leg because I'm walking funny so as to not hurt my toe! Still there's work to be done...so yesterday, I worked in the yard and heat for 4 1/2 hours taking out bushes, raking mulch, clearing logs and leaves from around the barn and burning them in the fire pit. I sunburned the back of my legs, got into some weeds or something that literally chewed up my ankles and calves, got bitten by like a billion no seeums, scraped the heck out of my leg on a log all while sweating like a pig in long sleeves and a straw hat...and if that wasn't enough... I came inside and took a nice long shower, put on clean cool jammies and got ready to watch one of my favorite movies only to discover that I had started my period a week early! I think my response was "really? REALLY? Awesome!"...I ate an entire cheese pizza, a pint of raspberry sherbet and a bomb pop and called it a night! Today,we're under a heat advisory...suppose to feel like 115 degrees by 4 o'clock...I'm staying inside where it's safe... I ordered 4 adirondack chairs off the internet, made an appointment to get the barn treated for termites, ants and other creepy crawlers, made an appointment for the car, talked to our builder and put chicken wings in the crockpot...a much easier day on the farm today! Hope everyones keeping cool...Love you all, Jamie
