Meet the new gardener. She's very dedicated.

Sometimes the watering can's a little uncooperative. She never gives up, though. Now, if only I could teach her how to plant the garden and save my knees and hips . . . .

Well, okay, she never gives up until something else catches her eye — or her nose — and she goes haring off after it. Still, it's become Chinook's favorite toy, so now it gets left out every evening where she can get at it.

I feel like Chinook battling the watering can when it comes to my health. Terrible pain and fatigue all day yesterday and a bad allergy attack last night, triggered by who knows what; i mean, it's not as thought there's pollen everywhere or anything . . . /sarcasm. Nothing worked on any of it, which meant that last night I was back mostly to insomnia. Which, in turn, means that I'm pretty much useless again today. There's so much I need to get done, and just thinking about starting any of it leaves me wanting to pass out with exhaustion.

Big bills coming up this week (and the week after, and probably the week after that, and, and . . .), so we need to make some sales to keep all the balls in the air. Here's the link to our site; we could use your testimonials, too. And if you'd like to help out some other way, our Amazon wishlist is the place to start. Yeah, i know, I keep saying I'll get more of the household stuff added, but I'm so short on energy and time and there are so many things that have to get done first. And now I need to get on some of that, like, say, another go at cleaning the mold out of the washer drain (mostly gone, but I need to get it all, then run a short empty cycle to get the bleach out of the system). Then there the chicken thawing in the kitchen, which is allegedly going into the crock pot for tonight. I say allegedly, because it all depends on how long I last. Either way, I have to get moving on all of it, however slowly.
