Gooooooooood moanin Chappell Hilllll....!!!! CHIMACS (Chappell Hill Intergalactic Meteorologdigical and Cornpone Society) the official weather and atmospheric monitoring station says, "it's cold", and that's a direct quote from the station manager. 34 greedees, wind straight outta the noth at 14, windchill 21 greedees, "lawsamercy child, thas cold", (as my grandmother would exclaim). Yes indeedy thas cold. Little Miss wanted to go out on the porch, so I opened the door, and out she ran, then in she ran and jumped on the bed under the covers and is there yet ! Smart cat eh what!
Been a while since last we conversed. Went to the stupor bowl party, didnt watch the game, but talked to new friends about all kinds of stuff. Left at half time, but glad we went, it was funish. Havent really done much this week, off and on light rain, lots O wind, and lots O pain. Getting to where I have to sleep, or try to sleep in my good ol rockin chair. Of course Little Miss wants some of that, and sleeps in the crook of my left arm. If I move a little, she thinks Im trying to get up, so she puts a paw on my arm hoping she can hold me down. What a little charmer she is!
If yall are up this way, in Brenham, go downtowm and stop in at PUPPY DOGS AND CAT TAILS, just off the square on S Baylor street. It's in an old refurbished steel foundry and they sell more than just pet supplies. The owner, Lisa, is just as personable as can be. She has just about any and every kind of treat and food for cats and dogs, all organic too. Good place to visit and shop.
Been trying to shed a few pounds, arent we all. Trying the KETO diet? YUK! ! ! ! ! The folks I know on it, have shed quite a few pounds. One shed 60 pounds since October, and lost 30 pounds the first month. We, my beloved and I, are trying to cut out bread and rice and carbs, sure is hard to do. AND GRAVY! ! ! !
The K diet says you can eat all the meat and fat and butter you want, just no carbs. That really cant be good for you, all fat! I went on a diabetic diet in the 90s due to high triglycerides, the count was off the chart. Doc says cut out all fat and sugar, and I did, and lost 30 pounds in one month and I wasnt even trying to lose weight, just get the T numbers down, which I did.
We've tried the 90 second keto bread made with almond flour or coconut flour....YUK AND YUK. I've been to survival school in the service, and nothing we ate in the jungles or wherever, tasted as bad as the keto 90 second bread. Might as well eat a spoonful of dirt! But that's not how the song goes is it, "a spoon ful of dirt makes the medicine go doooown, medicine go dooown..." See, that just doesnt woik!
I'm thinking cut out all sugar, as much as you can, and eat everything else in small portions, or moderation. We already eat fresh spinach, squash, cabbage etc, so just cut down on bread and sugar and methinks that will be ok. We will see what we will see eh what. We've tried zuchinni and yellow squash "noodles", and the former was reduced to mush, and the latter was ok, sort of. Sure hard to change a lifetime of eating habits.
Also got a heads up on "CANNIBIS" oil, as a pain reducer. Read up on it, and lots of places sell it now, or what's suppose to be C oil. Read "Texas Gov" site and according to Texas law, only a few doctors are allowed to prescribe C oil and only for epilepsy. Some folks are selling the so called C oil as a food supplement, which the FDA highly discourages. A friend says she has and or is taking C oil and it's stopped her migraines. Psychosomatic? Hmmmm, donno!
There seems to be no regulation on the C oil industry, or calling what you sell C oil. According to a site I visited, "Joe Bob" can mix something up and sell it as whatever he wants. So what are folks selling out there that is suppose to be C oil? Dont really know! I was wondering about side affects, and supposedly there are none, cept it makes you tired. Well, there's a clue right there, that's liver related, and I sure dont want my liver put at risk, cause it's the onliest (east texas for only) one I have and not easily replaced.
Best thing, check with my sawbones, Doc Holliday, and see what he has to say, but sure would love to cut the numbers down on my pain from 10 to at least a 5. I believe I could handle that. After handling a 10 fro so long, a 5 is a piece O cake. Speaking of which I can no longer have, Cake! Or maybe just a fork full. And no, you cannot stick a fork in a two layer cake and call that a "fork full", already tried that ploy!
Diane and I already walk a mile or more in our shoes, everyday. Some of it is up a 30 degree incline, well , those of you that have been here, know what I'm taling about, up the hill from the creek to the Coopers Memorial Ice Haus and ball field. I walked 2 miles yesterday around and around the Fjord dealership in Brenham, waiting on my truck to be serviced. Just cant sit in a waiting room for any lenght of time, or sit anywhere for any lenght of time, unless accompanied by my sweet kitty Little Miss.
Just ramblin aint I ! ! ! Well, like I said, not much going on here cept wind and rain and cold, and I sure dont want to go out in it, being 21 degrees windchill. Glad I dont have to walk down tto the front gate to retrieve the morning paper, eh! Doesnt matter, cant get the paper delivered here nohow. Never seen a bunch of wusses like there are in todays whirld. Back when I threw the paper, we went wherever we were told to go, and didnt think twice about it. Just another paying customer for us to please.
guess I've bored all two of you that are reading this, to death, so I'll sign off for now...
Keep the sun at your six and the Son in your heart, and ride boldly rride, wrapped up warm of course...
Your frien and resident nutter, Cephus E Lee esq
