The mom of Cowboy and Dude called last night to check on her dogs and to tell me she could not come to see them because the water pump on their car broke. Someone there at the shelter was helping them get it fixed. She and her husband both got part time jobs, don't know when they will make enough money to have a place to live so they can take their dogs.
All is well here at this "dog house" even though it is very cold. The sun is just making an appearance as I look out my window, the animals have been fed and are napping to Christmas music.
Did some more reading and writing yesterday, listened to an interview with Dr. Blaylock and got his book off the shelf to review. I agree with probably 90% of what he says and have to do further research on the other 10%. Did some research on the Budwig nutrition program for cancer and ordered a book from King Institute, so I can learn a new wellness procedure. Also looked at online reflexology classes, I used to do a lot of reflexology using the hands and found it very effective, gotta learn the correct methods.
Gotta get me a kindle, am in the Amazon.com contest to win one then I will not have so many books on the shelf, I can just pull them up on my kindle.
Gotta go carry water to the livestock, hose is frozen!

Today the moon and stars are beautiful and the sun is starting over the horizon but, it is 16 degrees and my nose is cold. I got my small heated horse water bucket plugged in yesterday and it was nice and thawed but the other buckets are frozen solid.

Did not get much work done yesterday but I will catch up today. I believe in tomorrow, what you don't get done today, you can do tomorrow. I sent Sonny, the little doxie/lab to stay a few days with Jill yesterday because Cowboy loves him and will not leave him alone. He has the battered woman's syndrome any way, if another dog is bothering him he just lets it happen without retreating. Then keeps going back for more.

Did some study on new ways of treating cancer and listened to some videos on treating depression. Did not do my qigong lessons yesterday but will catch up today. Again, putting off until tomorrow, I guess I am a procrastinator even if I am not usually in that mode.

Between God and the Dogs, I am well taken care of anyway.

Had a short night, my son-in-law who has the worse health habits in the world, had seizures last night, he has huge unpaid medical bills for the past few years from a medical problem where he was in the intensive care ward for a long time, and insurance paid only a small amount. They lost everything they had this past year including their house and they have no insurance and since he lost most of his short term memory skills when he was ill, he cannot do any job excepting washing dishes at a restaurant. His wife tries to keep things going by working 3 jobs and they have a daughter who is a senior in high school. They live with her younger sister in a small house. I looked up info on a free health clinic this morning because he cannot even wash dishes unless the seizures are under control.
My son-in-law will be at my home today because he cannot be left alone and my daughter has to work. As you probably guessed, he is not my favorite person in the world and I hope I can be tolerant, must do my relaxation and Qigong. Will take extra Zamu today and make the best of everything.

Had predictions of snow today but as usual the weather man changed his mind last night. I think it is now rain this afternoon, so will hang out clothes early. I worked so hard yesterday rearranging the house to make it more comfortable for the big dogs, they so wanted to sleep with the little ones and I, I made them a couch in the bedroom, I can hardly walk in the room but they were so happy. Had to move one of the large book shelf units to the hall so had to move about 150 books and that was just one of the 4 units I have. I am a book lover and can never find the one I want, gotta reorganize them, have a dozen or so by my nesting chair in the living room and another dozen or so on my bedside table. Found my biology book from nurses training, 1952 was the year. After my house burned in 1982 my dad found it in his house and he brought it to me just in case I needed it. I think the only thing in it that is usable is our body structure.
When I moved the cookbooks, found a Christmas cookie book that brought back lots of memories, the dogs and I do not eat sugar often so guess I won't use it this year.

Thrillionaire of the Week

Thrillionaire of the Week

I am listening to those wonderful 14-15 year old boys sing opera and thoroughly enjoying it. It is such a thrill to hear young people do outstanding things. I placed it on twitter and and facebook, wanting everyone to hear them. Will try to get it on the blog.
Sun is a little under the clouds today but can hang out my clothes as soon as the frost is gone.
All the animals have been fed and are listening to Christmas Music as they nap. Even the cats are napping and listening.
Will do some more writing today and have to move some furniture around to make it easier to walk around in the house. In order to do that have to move a book shelf so unload books, dust and that takes time, Will listen to a cd while I do that.
