I can't believe it's been almost a month since I wrote on my blog. I didn't mean to neglect it. I'm not sure I can remember what's happened over the month. Let's see..... not in any particular order:
Itsy has gone into heat and will be spayed tomorrow. Pretty Girl turned 1 year-old on the 17th and finally went into heat. We were starting to think something was wrong with her. I hope to get her fixed next month. The other dogs are fixed and she never runs loose so it can wait. Itsy kept trying to get out and there's a feral tom cat hanging around so getting her fixed is more urgent.
Dumb Bunny is getting bigger and bigger. I just saw that the people I got him from have more to sell. I want to get a female companion for him. He's fixed and I'll have to get her fixed as well. I've had to limit him to the kitchen and his room - I couldn't handle the damage done to the carpets, books and shoes. Putting him in the kitchen will mean pulling the throw rugs up and setting them out of his reach. I'm down to 2 of these out of 3. He just had to nibble on and basically destroy the new $13 one. He could eat the older ones that were needing to be replaced soon. He peed on the kitchen floor today (no surprise) but it scared me because the urine was reddish. From what I'm seeing online, that's no indication of a problem. Rabbit urine can be all sorts of colors.
Weather has been completely crazy around here. Really really cold then much warmer only to get really cold again. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to afford - literally - this winter. They haven't come to do the winterization yet and I know I'm heating the underside of the house. How do I know? Well, not only can I feel the cold come up through the vents but Izzy keeps announcing herself by crawling through the duct work only to meow at a vent. I don't know if she can't turn around and find her way out or what but she doesn't really want in. As soon as I pull the vent cover off and let her out, she goes right to the door to go back outside.
Had an appointment with a neurosurgeon up in Kansas City about my back. The MRI shows bone spurs on L5-S1 on both sides. The one on the left side appears to be pinching the sciatic nerve but he doesn't understand why it only bothers me when I lay down. He said that's highly unusual. I guess with most people they have pain when they are standing and/or sitting and get relief when they lay down. He wants me to try steroid type shots first and, then if I don't have any relief, he will order a new MRI with contrast. That might show that surgery is needed. I would hope they plan on removing the bone spurs regardless. The relief I get from getting out of bed and sitting somewhere is taking longer and longer. I usually go to the bar stool with an old footstool my grandfather made for me when I was a little kid. I've had to move them both to my bedroom near my bed. It was getting too painful to get from my bedroom to the kitchen.
I finally saw an orthopedic doctor/surgeon today. My knees have been grinding and crunching when I do just about anything. Going up and down ramps and stairs is the worse. The left one has been bad for several years and the right one got bad after a bad fall last year. Note to self : Don't walk off a ladder on the wrong step. Falling 3 feet and landing on a concrete floor smack on both knees is a total bitch. At some point we are likely to do arthroscopic surgery at some point. I had it once before in the early 1990's. My knees weren't nearly so bad then. He gave me a shot in both knees - Synvisc One - which is supposed to be like a lubricant. When I read up on it, afterward of course, it said it's made from chicken combs. I don't like the sound of that. I really don't want to know more than that. Trying not to think about it. My knees are stiff and painful now. It could take a month before I might feel relief. You can get the shots every 6 months. Dunno if I want more of them. Damn it, it really really hurt.
It was a fairly nice day out yesterday - once you put enough layers of clothes on and kept moving. I fixed the tires on my portable chicken coop but the damn thing is still hard to move. It's partly because I'm out of shape and partly because it's still really heavy. I think I need to find a pair of skis and put the coop on them or ball-bearings along the bottom or something. It has to stay close to the ground (on the ground) to offer the best protection from wild animals. There has to be a better way to move it. Anyway, it wanted a blood sacrifice. It got one. It got blood from two fingers, almost three. The first was the almost one - have a lovely blood blister on the pad of my left index finger. Hurts like a bitch (and this typing isn't helping). Then the hardware cloth/wire got my right index and middle fingers. Took chunks out of both pads of those fingers (making typing much more fun). The blood blister came from working on the tires. The others came from lowering the lid to the "free range" part of the coop. There's a handle on it now to prevent further injuries when closing it. I think I need to find a way to lock the lid down in case any critters figure out how to open it.
Been spending too much time on the computer and not enough time doing other stuff but that's the way it goes. Especially when it's too damn cold inside as well as outside. Oh well. And it's midnight and I have to take Itsy to the vet early. Oh, better go put the cat food away......

Ahhhhh.... the weekend has finally started for me
Some what fun day at work today. Went to bed extra early last night because of the fun day I had driving to get my new glasses. Just over an hour there in horrible winds and another hour back in even worse winds plus menopausal hot flashes. Fun! So, I was in bed by 9 PM, which is good but it gave the pinched nerve more time to hurt during the night. I was up at least 3 times due to the pain. The last time it never fully went away but by then I was so exhausted I just fell into a nice sleep. The alarm clock was exceptionally loud and rude at 730 AM. Anyone else notice that the earlier your alarm goes off, the louder and ruder it is?
Naturally, as soon as someone came into the library, I had to potty. It never fails, right? Luckily, he took his time and I was back at my desk before he was ready to check out. My co-worker was scheduled to come in an hour after me so that first hour was relatively peaceful. Until the boys showed up. They weren't that bad. The two brothers were actually a good influence on the third boy. He's always trouble. Unfortunately the brothers left and the sister of the third boy showed up. He's a bad influence on his little sister and there's always trouble when the two of them are there. We, the librarians, are used as baby sitters by several parents, including theirs. Some of the kids are better behaved than others. I was very, very, very glad when their mom showed up to take them home. And she was only an hour late. The final two hours of work were, ahhhhh, peaceful.
Then a trip to town to get my new glasses readjusted, pick up a few groceries, cat food and dog food. Been watching movies since I got home. First it was "American Psycho 2" which was more of a comedy than I realized and now it's "Dirty Harry" - a classic. I like Eastwood as Harry but don't like his westerns. Not sure why but I do. I have "Magnum Force" which I think is the second Dirty Harry movie.
Dumb Bunny was allowed to be "free" today - free to roam the house rather than stay in his not-so-little section of it. I'm going to have to reconsider that with all the rabbit pee I had to clean up. No wonder I'm always out of cleaning rags. And just after I cleaned up one place, either the bunny or one of the cats peed all over the floor somewhere else. Sheesh. I discovered why the bunny didn't use the litter box I put in the cat room for him - the cats are using it. He won't use their boxes. So I might have to only put a box out when I'm going to him roam but will limit where he roams to. Wait. No, that won't work. He can get on the seat of the bar stool to the kitchen counter and down into the living room from there. Drat. He may just have to be stuck in his room except when I'm home and can keep an eye on him. He doesn't pee anywhere except his litter box in his room. Sigh, again.
It's supposed to be in the 50's tomorrow so I'm hoping to finally finish moving the mulch pile. It will be so nice to have my lean-to back. We are supposed to have snow the first week of February and if I get into the lean-to, I won't have to brush/scrape off my car. Naturally the day we have a 70% chance of snow, I get to drive to Kansas City to see the neurosurgeon. Oh well, that's how it goes. I'll make sure to have a good book on cd to listen to and my cell phone.

Updates and Links
Hello again. It's been a while. How have you been? I've been busy busy busy. Well, as busy as my back will let me. Not getting nearly enough sleep and it's taking longer and longer each morning for the pain to go away. Some nights it doesn't wake me completely but I spend the night in a light nap stage and in pain. I finally found a neurosurgeon in Kansas City. My first appointment is on Feb 3rd. According to the radiology report, I have a large bone spur on L5-S1 that is pressing on the nerve. There's another spur on the right side but it's not a large. I am hoping they can do a minimally invasive surgery to shave off both spurs and have me back to work at the library and at home right away better than before.
I have an appointment with my primary doctor this Monday and I'm going to ask for a referral to one of the orthopedic doctors at the clinic. My knees are getting worse and worse. They grind and grind when I walk up or down the ramps leading up to the house or when I walk the stairs at work (just a few into the library). If we can get my back to stop hurting and get my knees to stop grinding and hurting, I can start exercising and doing more around the yard and maybe lose this extra weight I'm carrying around. I could stand to lose 80 lbs or so. I started packing on the weight while recovering from bi-lateral carpal tunnel surgery back around 1998 or so.
The only good thing about the pinched nerve pain is that it won't let me go back to bed in the morning. I work at the library part time and most days I don't start work until the afternoon. I'm used to sleeping in, especially on days I'm not working. I'm NOT a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. I never have been. Everyone says "Oh, you'll get used to it" and "It'll get easier before you know it". Yeah, right. Bull crap, I say. Everyone morning I had to get up for school starting with kindergarten, it was a fight to get me up. I would get up early for Saturday morning cartoons but within 15 minutes, I'd be sound asleep in front of the TV and would miss all the cartoons. Nearly every job I've ever had required me to get up early for work. And it's always next to impossible for me to get up and get moving. I'd continue fighting to stay awake until close to lunch time every work day. Come the weekend, I wouldn't get out of bed until lunch time or later. Then struggle to get my errands and housework done. Then the struggle would start again that next Monday. Forget going out with friends, going to movies, concerts, etc etc etc. It's still like that but now I can sleep in to a point every day except Saturday. I'm getting lots done every day now that I can't go back to bed but I usually end up taking a nap (on my days off) or start yawning and fighting to stay awake starting around 5 PM at work. It's just freakin' crazy.
I want to give you some links to other (much better) homestead blogs. I'll try to share one each time I get online. If you visit them, please provide them the link to my blog and let them know I directed you. I'd love to get more followers and more comments.

Snow snow snow brrr brrrr brrrrrr
Started snowing Saturday (1/4/14) night and didn't stop until late in the afternoon on Sunday. It was also very windy so some of the drifts got pretty deep. On Sunday, I went out three times to sweep off the deck and ramp for the kitties (they are so spoiled). We actually had temps of -21 with the wind chill on Sunday. I've lived in Missouri since the summer of 1995 and I've never known us to have temps so cold. We've had winters with way more snow and ice but not these temps.
I keep the central heat (propane furnace) set on 66 to 68 degrees all winter but I don't have enough insulation in the house and a lot of the duct work is, apparently, uninsulated as well. The area under the house (a 1974 single wide with a 12x30 completely uninsulated living room attached) is pretty much as warm as the inside of the house. Guess where the outside cats are spending their time?? To make it even warmer under there, I've been doing a load or two laundry every day. The dryer isn't vented through the skirting, just under the house. Warm warm warm!!! I'm running an EdenPure heater in the living room because it doesn't get nearly warm enough. Not only is it not insulated, it has a tile floor and many windows. The main thing the heater does is run up the electric bill. $60 in summer with central air running jumps to $110 in the winter with this damn heater.
I have a 500 gallon propane tank for my furnace. We had it filled up this past fall and it was down to about 30% already. They came to fill it today - $785.40 for 350 gallons. I wonder what my electric bill would be if I had just electric heat. I wish my house was better set up in terms of the floor plan so I could use wood heat.
A couple of the outside cats are inside but will likely leave in the morning. One cat has found a burrow in an amazing place. There's a concrete culvert under my road along the highway. There's a part of it in the middle that has crumbled or something and there's a hole/burrow there. I delivered food and water to the culvert for her. I have a food dish in the garage and in the pump house along with the ones on the front porch (where the cats are usually fed). I go out several times a day to make sure their water dish isn't frozen over.
The county doesn't plow my road and no one on the road has a plow so we're all stuck until a big truck or someone with 4 wheel/4x4 drive uses the road. I normally clean my friends' house on Monday but didn't know if I could get out. Then the MFA Propane truck came and I was able to get out. She is an older widow with two dogs and I also pet sit for her. We can't find her snow shovel so I took my outside broom and snow shovel with me. I shoveled off her front porch and made a trail to her garage and her cabin (where she scrapbooks) by shuffling my boots through the snow. She's a tiny little thing with tiny little feet so she's able to just walk in my prints and be fine. When I finished with that, and was completely frozen, I thawed out while cleaning her house. She's usually gone when I do it but she was there today. When I finished she paid me for last week's cleaning and this weeks plus paid me back for something I picked up for her at WalMart and extra for the snow removal. A nice $60 which is exactly what I needed - money. I went to town - the smaller one but bigger than here. They have a Dollar General, a Subway and a little grocery store. Dog food, dog snacks, people snacks, footlong chicken bacon ranch sub with extra bacon and a container of chocolate almond milk. Perfect. On my way home I stopped by the library here to see if the entry area needed snow removal. I had my broom and snow shovel so I cleared it off. Decided to go ahead and do it instead of waiting until tomorrow.
I've been home since 5 PM and I'm still cold from my time outside today. I looked at the temp a bit ago and it's back to -10 on the back porch. Brrrrr.
The treasure found at Dollar General this trip - season 1 of Poltergist The Legacy on DVD for $5.95. Whoop whoop. I love this show. Something new to watch.

New glasses and snow - finally!
Snow started falling last night around 6 PM and didn't stop until close to midnight. Ended up with a couple inches of light, dry snow. Just enough to make the roads a bit messy. Naturally I planned on driving to another town to pick up my new glasses today. Well, a bit of snow and lots of cold temperatures weren't going to stop me. And it didn't.
The glasses have progressive bifocal lenses in them and come with their own sunglasses held on with magnets. The frames cost a ton but cheaper than getting a pair of glasses and a separate pair of sunglasses. The lenses were pretty expensive too. Thanks to Mom for the Christmas money - otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a new pair of glasses at all. It's going to take a while to get used to the lenses - weeks they tell me. That won't be much fun. I picture lots of headaches until I get used to them. I just hope I do get used to them. I have 90 days to get used to them or take them back and get a different prescription. It's a little over an hour's drive to get to the store so I hope I don't need to drive back.
I'm going to have a 90 minute drive to Kansas City sometime soon to meet with a neurosurgeon. Appears I might need surgery on my lower back. I have osteoarthritis somewhere along my spine that is pinching the sciatic nerve. Last night wasn't much fun. I was already in pain when I went to bed due to a nap with the dogs. After 2 hours I was up in too much pain to sleep. I walked around until the pain lessened and went back to bed. Another 2 hours and I was up again. I did this through the entire night. But I woke up and got up before the pain was so bad I could barely get out of bed. Guess my brain and body have finally got the message and aren't letting me sleep/lay down too long now. But it sure as hell leaves me too tired.

Sorry!!!
I'm sorry I haven't posted to my blog in a while. I've been working extra hours and dealing with health issues. My rheumatologist ordered an MRI and it showed that my sciatic nerve is being pinched but not by the piriformis muscle like we thought. There's osteoarthritis in my spine. I'm not sure if it's in the lumbar area or the sacrum. It only bothers me when I lay down, which I think is weird. After 2-4 hours, the pain in my left butt cheek, left calf and left foot wakes me up. My pain level is off the chart. It's all I can do to sit up on the edge of the bed then stand up (on my right leg only at first). I have to use the wall to help me walk until the pain in my foot (which goes numb sometimes) and calf subsides enough to walk with a limp. Things usually settle down as I move around. If I don't have to stay up, I go back to bed for a while. It doesn't always work. Sometimes I stay up reading a book until it's time to feed the critters. Other times I start on housework. Lack of sleep plus more hours at the library are a bad combination.
I have a list of neurologists who accept Missouri Medicaid. I'll start making phone calls either tomorrow or Friday. They are all in Kansas City, MO which is about 90 minutes away. I sure wish they were closer but oh well. I hope that if I have to have back surgery it's the less invasive type and will allow me to get back to work around here immediately. Otherwise I'll have to either postpone getting my hens or not get them unless I get a regular coop. If my back is too trashed to move the portable coop around, I'm gonna be pissed.
I did get a good surprise and laugh this morning. I was up just before 5 AM, put the dogs out with their breakfast and let the bunny out of his room. I went back to bed and when I got up again just after 8 AM, I found the bunny on the kitchen counter next to the sink. I think he jumped up the cat tree and jumped over to the counter through a cut out there. A sight I wasn't expecting and don't have a picture of it.

I went back to bed and when I got up again just after 8 AM, I found the bunny on the kitchen counter next to the sink. I think he jumped up the cat tree and jumped over to the counter through a cut out there. A sight I wasn't expecting and don't have a picture of it.
