Slower and slower, still moving though.

It ended up that I did get out yesterday.  My mother talked me into it, rather easily as it turned out.  We hit three stores, a few groceries I think on my own (preferred, I move), looking at potential wall paper (some of it isn't too bad, actually), and a few other things.  But all of it had to be short, easy, sweet.  Then we grabbed food from a drivethrough and headed for home.  I think she is as tired as I am.  She has been pushing herself pretty hard too.  We will be going to town again today, Church, looking for a freezer, and visiting my friend.  Visiting him stays on the list, but we keep running out of steam. 

A freezer?  Well, yes.  As it turns out, I am going to be getting some beef!  And I spoke with the man about pork.  It looks like I might be ending up with some meats a little sooner than anticipated.  I have little freezer space, as is.  And it has been on the list.  Some for freezing, but perhaps too some for canning.  I will be helping him butcher it as well.  All things on my list.  And, yes, I have enough to roll with a little overage for my monthly finances.  I will have to see when his next pork production is up for grabs, after the year end, and place an order too.  So, a freezer.  I have an account at Home Depot.  If I can find a freezer I like there, my hope is to put half of the freezer on account, half on cash.  As such, the thing will be paid, the way I do things, in three months or less.  Should even be interest free.  But where to put it?  I'm glad my mother is here AND will be gone soon (other wise she would pick the perfect spot, we would have it there for a while, then she would want it moved, then again, then again, probably ending up right back where it started... for a while... women!).

The clouds are out and it looks to storm.  It's a beautiful day, save if you would want to travel far.  I don't know if we will get more than angry looking storm clouds.  I'll take it anyway.  Still, on the trip tomorrow, I think I will take the low-country interstate way to SLC rather than the pass.  The pass can have it's own weather system, local rain, sleet, snow, while everywhere else seems sunny and happy.  Driving myself I go that way, just not with company...  Hmm, well, with my friend I go that way, but he is fearless, careless, or worry-free that way too...  I think.  I guess I am saying I don't take women where angels fear to tread?  Something like that.

Menudo is cooking as we speak.  I received a few pointers on this specifically and a general tip or two, from my mom, regarding cooking.  She is sewing curtains, has hemmed some with a few more to do, and has been suggesting things now and again as well, on those matters.  I just listen.  Sometimes some things won't make sense until I am doing.  But if I listen, sometimes that comes back to me when I am trying to square a circle and not doing so well.  She did ground me from the kitchen for a while, though.  *chatter, chatter, chatter*  *Go!*  "To my room", I ask?  "Nope" she says, "You can't be gone THAT long".  Bah!  So I am blogging.

My batteries are slowly dying, but I have today, tomorrow, and then Tuesday to be on top of things.  Then I will need two days down.  I am pleased with having done what I have done.  I am a bit sore, still, but I get this sore just sitting at times.  I couldn't keep this pace up for long.  I'll crash pretty good when she goes.  But I might be able to... do a little more once I rise.  Stamina has been stretched.  All good.

Welp, have a good day.  If you can't get to Church, at least say a little or big prayer.  It's God's gift of a day to us, a little appreciation for His thoughtfulness doesn't hurt.  Later.
