Been a full day, as always. Arise, pee for the hundredth time as I have a UTI, coffee, a bit of computer, kids off to school, garbage out; even when & pulled Stacie's can down the hill. She has her hands full right now with a broken foot and nursing Chantel.
Off to work; run the sprinklers an hour or so each row--that's 5 hours. Worked on the pepper plants, pruning, gathering peppers and on breaks fiddled on the computer with an ad for the paper. Got it done to my satisfaction and sent it off. Gathers a bag of peppers to send to a neighbor, and still have several pots to work on tomorrow.
Home at noon, washed and peeled a bucket of potatoes, took those up to Stacie as she and CJ were cooking supper, then on to the church to do the work over there. Back home, take a break for a while, shower and get ready to go to Stacie's for supper then back to the church for a meeting.
When I got out of the shower, Stacie was down and let me know TA had taken herself to the ER in McComb. She had been hurting in her stomach all week. She thinks her mesh is torn or she has a hernia or cancer or she's dying. Seriously, every time she mentions some new or old ache or pain, it's cancer or the worst of anything you can have.
I think that she had a victim attitude. She's been abused, used, beaten and otherwise taken advantage of; she's waited on younguns and a husband for years until he died. now she wants to be waited on for a change, she wants the attention, she wants to lay around and have people wait on her hand and foot.
Yes, she's up every day, usually, by 10 or 11 anyway. Yes she stays busy doing something, but she is always in pain, sick to the stomach, hurting somewhere, can't move, can't think, can't eat...............
On a more positive note, CJ is improving wonderfully considering she almost died. She still has limited use of her right side, but little by little she sees improvement.
