I Feel Ambitious!!
Tuesday I had injections in my back. Yesterday was a pain filled horror. Today I can resume my normal activities according to the people at the pain center. Now if my son was reading this his comment would consist of “what is normal” because there is no such thing as normal around a farm and to the rest of the world looking in at my life what I do is probably looked at as somewhat manic and strange. But after two days of forced inactivity I feel ambitious and also like I have to make up for having done nothing for the past two days.
So here is the plan, Matthew is loading hay this morning then he is going to put the large rototiller onto the Kubota for me and I am going to work up three acres. I plan on planting oates and seeding on that three acres. Then if I have time I want to get the ground ready for the sunflowers and the corn. All of this before I have to go pick Mary-Kate up from school at 2:00. Matthew should be able to do all of his school work independantly today. Let us hope that the plan works and no one needs hay loaded today beyond the gentleman who is here right now.

Yay! I hope you get everything done that you want to.
My grandfather had cortisone injections in his back to help improve his leg function and he was ordered to relax a week or so to let things “take,” but just like you, he was readt to put on his dancing shoes two days later. He even told the orderly guy at the hospital that if he was brought a wheelchair after his discharge papers were in order, he’d put the orderly in it and push him off a cliff.
My grandfather is classy like that.
I’m so glad you’re feeling better!
@JMHardens060703 - oat ground 1/2 ready. If one more person comes over and interrupst me or one more thing breaks though I will pull out all my hair. Going to pick up MK from school and then get back to work. I guess I have to pare down my ambition a little. Maybe I’ll put in peas and beans tonight since the feed store won’t have my seed in until Monday now.
I really-really-really like this music! Yay for Sintra, Andrew Sisters and all that jazz!
You are amazing! Wow. I don’t know how you do all you do!!!
Take care now and take care of your back…be careful! : )
Blessings! Hugs! ~Amelia
