Barbara told me today that she's so upset that I haven't posted lately and mentioned her name, so I guess I'd better post.
Day before yesterday, I had a migraine all day, and stayed home in bed with terrible nausea. I threw up on the white carpet in the bedroom before I could make it to the bathroom. Steve and Cherokee called in the afternoon to see about me. We've became really close lately.
Cherokee went to Morristown Hamblen Hospital today to be pre-admitted for some heart procedure to be done on Monday. She didn't discuss it much with me, but any procedure done on her is serious. She's spending a lot of her time up at Creekside now, and she's so nice to have around. I make her laugh a lot, and it's good for her. S2 told me he likes to hear her laugh so much, and she's not so depressed when she's around me.
The kitchen is almost ready for the primer coat of paint, and I couldn't be more pleased. Carol came over this afternoon and walked through, and she's pleased that so much is getting done.
I worked out in the front yard today, clearing out the rubble from the old Rutledge High School that was dumped there back in the winter. I wore holes in the fingers of my gloves, pulling limbs and rocks out of the dirt. S2 had tried the tractor on it, but that tractor is almost useless.
Chris Etters came by the other day and complimented me on my work, and the wisdom of me buying a house with such good grounds. He operates Claiborne Hauling, and has made a fortune moving dirt and stone. He is from the family that grew up right behind my parents house in Dante long ago, and he remembers our family fondly. He's made a handsome man, and is very nice to boot.
Betty Pike e-mailed me yesterday evening to say that Fred Denton is very low with lung cancer. I expect to see a funeral announcement soon. He's up in years.
I haven't heard how Oak Tree, my buddy from Topix, is doing after her procedure. She has some problem with digestion, and I suspect that it's food alergies.
I can sympathise with her.
I worked in the yard until 9:30, then rushed home and got a quick bath.
I'm ready to lay down a while.

Claire, I'm glad to hear your home project is coming along better these days. I hope you get some help for those sinuses ~ ever tried Netti-Pot Warm Salt Rinses. They tend to help a lot of people who can't take allergy medicine.
We are getting U-verse high speed internet through AT&T hopefully today. We had some problems with outside wiring, but hopefully this repair man will fix the problem correctly and we will get our service restored. I'm on my laptop at my daughter's house, who has Comcast High Speed. Keep cheered and let me hear some time how life is treating you.
BTW, you could cheer up anyone, Claire, with your dynamic personality!
Loving Hugs,
