the Hearst Castle


So this is the last day, that I figure I can do letter writing for the Memorial invites.  So today I wrote 16 letters and mailed off the invites.  I might try to do some more tonight, and if they go in the mail tomorrow, they would have them Wednesday or Thursday.  But, I'm not sure if I will. My wrist is pretty taxed.  I also ran out of tracts, although getting more is no biggie.

I don't hardly remember the past 3 days,   All I do remember is that I felt awful.  Now today I am still dealing with a headache but I feel more with it.  But WOW am I tired.  I feel like I need tooth pics to hold my eyes open.  Ok, I've heard that saying before, but wouldn't that just be painful?  Or is that the point, the pain won't let you fall asleep.  Well it is dumb anyways.

Leon is working on cutting wood for next winter.  We didn't use up what we had cut last year, but that's ok.  It was just too warm to use it all.  He knows he doesn't have the strength to have to get it all done in the fall.  I hear the neighbors with their chains saws going after there is already snow on the ground.  We just like to move at our own pace.  I say we as if I were out there.  I did help him before, but haven't the past 2 years.  When I get tired, I get careless and that is when I get hurt.  I think EO would rather me stay home, even though I enjoy being out there with him.  I would get in his way, when I would see he needed to take a breather.  I would also hand him water when I wanted him to stop and catch his breath.  I guess I worry about him out there as much as he worries about me.  But now I am just so unsteady, tipping, falling, stumbling all the time and that is on a smooth surface, I would surely get hurt being out in the woods.

So EO put a pork roast in the crock pot today, and the smell is making me crazy hungry.  I sure love being able to eat again!!!!!  He made us burgers for lunch after he got home from service.  Now he is working on doing laundry. Such a busy man he is.  He takes the best care of me.  I love my hubby!  Which reminds me, I need to get an anniversary card for him.  He already got mine and has it hanging up.  The stinker got it in early March.  I wonder if I ever wrote about this.  We have this game, that we will buy each other our anniversary cards and put them up on the cub board.  We can't open them until our anniversary.  Sometimes we will get them way early and they will sit there for months, just to tease each other.  I think I will buy him one when we are out in C.A.  Then he will only have to wait 2 weeks to open it.  Granted, I have seen his since March, but that's ok, I've teased him plenty of times.  I wonder if he is going to want to go out someplace other than our traditional anniversary lunch at DQ.  maybe I will ask him later. We often will do something for our anniversary but not on our anniversary, like when we were in Bristol, I said, "happy anniversary".  Which Lauren would have given him the tickets to the race on our anniversary, if we wouldn't have been going to the race in March, so it was an anniversary gift.  But for me & EO, we have lunch at DQ on our anniversary. 

I feel like I'm babbling.  Plus, my fingers are killing me, from all the letter writing and now typing.  So I am going to go.
