  • Into Each Life, A Little Rain Must Fall

     

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    Today the Beast pushed back the delivery of the cottage until Friday.  Oh, not because it's raining here but because he wants to have a few more things ready to get working on it when it gets here.  He has decided on one thing that surprised me.  He's putting in carpeting.  It helps solve a heating problem with winter coming up and will even help on the cooling because of less heat loss. 

    He wants ME to talk to our satellite service for TV and lord only knows why.  I'm really not sure what the hell he wants me to find out for him after I find out how complicated it would be to just add another *room* to the service and how much that will cost extra per month.  He said something in passing about his running the cable but I don't know enough about what he has in mind or what the cable company would require to ask the right questions.  So, I think I will find out about just adding the additional *room* and then hand the phone to him to talk technicalities.  I actually think the people at DISH wouldn't have a clue anyhow.  It's going to require talking to the actual installers which are independent companies.  But, we shall see.

    Once the Beast gets going on the cottage, it will go fast.  He becomes driven on his projects and will work like a beaver and he will collapse early every night while that is going on.   Even though it seemingly kills him, it's what makes his life worth living.  He NEEDS projects like a bee needs flowers or a bird needs wings to fly. 

    As for me, I am just so tired of hurting.  I mean my FEET hurting.  You can't do a damn thing without your feet or some acceptable substitute.  Even going to the bathroom is a challenge.  I am sure feeling a lot of empathy for all those unfortunates that have lost a foot or even both.  God bless them and keep them and give them the strength to endure.  I have done nothing to warrant any sympathy from Him that I can think of but I would ask for a little bit of help if it can be spared. 

    I am trying to consider this the *rain* in my life that must fall.  It's really tough on days like today when the pain is greater than normal.  I think it's the barometric pressure, humidity or some such thing that does it.  I just know that it makes me break out in a cold sweat as I try to walk even short distances.   I am hoping I can get some answers from the orthopedic doctor.  Or at least some degree of help. 

    Since the weather is so *iffy* and we have lost the TV reception a couple of times already, I think I am going to cut this short and get it posted.  Love you all.  Hope you have a great day tomorrow.
