Tuesday PM Late

This is just a catch-up post:
My old friend, Faune, who is one of the only people who ever post a comment on my blog, e-mailed me this afternoon to say that she is worried about me.  She hadn't seen a blog lately, and I hadn't e-mailed her, so she wanted me to become more internet-active again.
I have been awfully busy, which is normal for me, but I've been pretty sick, so the busy part has drained my energy to the point that I've not felt like much else.
The home robbery of several weeks plays constantly on my mind.
It's terrible that our society has sunk to the point that convicted criminals are walking the streets and robbing people.  The drug craze which has swept across the whole world is turning whole communities upside down.  I believe that soon, people will be afraid to leave their homes because of the likely hood that some drug-crazed criminal will rob them while they're gone.
I've had three homes robbed, and the police and law enforcement agencies have never resolved the burglaries, though we've known the people who have robbed us each time.
Gifts that loved ones have given me over many years are now gone, because I was away from my home working to be able to pay taxes to support a law enforcement network that has failed me.  Just how just is that???
My health is in a terrible shape, and Joan, tha manager of the local Family Dollar, told me this evening that I needed a vacation.  I can spell that word, but I'm not sure I know what it means.
I've worked hard all my life, and I'm not one bit sorry.  I just hate it that people who do not work can take my belongings and not have to pay.
Cherokee and I went to Knoxville today to get a window exchanged that was the wrong size.  We stopped by to cheer the lady who'se the owner of a wallpaper shop.  She's terminal, but soilders on.  There was an antique shop opening near-by, so we went there, also.  I found a bunch of crystal door knobs for $2.50 each.  They will look so nice with the ones in Creekside.  They're really hard to find, and I was delighted to get them,
I also bought a blow-mold snow man.  I collect blow-mold, and it's hard to find, also.  I got it for $5.00, which is a real steal.  It's about 3 1/2 to 4 foot tall.  He's in good condition, and won't need much restoration.
My chest is full of congestion, which makes it hard to breath, and keeps my energy level down.  I tried to buy some sudafed this morning at Okie's in Blaine, and they will only sell it now if you have a prescription.  Our government has run amuck.
I know criminals make meth with sudafed, but a little old lady with a granny knot doesn't really fit the profile of someone who might put a few poison articles together and sell the product to some fool who wants to burn their teeth.
Stucco and Shawn got a lot of the plaster done in the dining room and the living room.  It's as smooth as a baby's butt.
Janie didn't work today, and she would have really made a difference.  She had some child to return to it's parents.
She is expected back tomorrow.
I spent this evening putting some shelves in the basement to store all the paint and stains.  There are a lot of them, and they were just setting all around the house.  They will be out of the way down in the basement.
I couldn't sleep, so I got up to post a little.  I've now posted a little, and I'm feeling my eyes burning, so I think I"ll try to go back to bed for a while.
