it's not the same

I've been out crawling the yard picking pecans and missing my buddies Patty and Oscar.  For the past few years it has been a group effort.  Oscar boy died earlier this year and it's just been me and Carol so far.  Rain is heading in again so I tried to get 'em while I can.  Pecan season is usually pretty long here in the south because it doesn't freeze until November.  There has been many a January that I was out there getting the last of them.  

Today has been spent taking care of healthcare business.  My last b12 level was off the chart because I got an injection first.  Hmmm. I googled it and was told that it goes immediately into the bloodstream.  I have rescheduled several appointments for January when the co-pay will be a bit lower.  I'm just thankful to be alive in spite of the aches and pains.  

So, this is what happened.  I took about 35 lbs of my pecans to Pennington's and they wouldn't buy them because they were "too rough."  Alrighty then.  Merry Christmas to y'all too!  Jeffro said it was due to drought and stink bugs.  They looked good to me but..who am I?  I won't be wasting my time on that anymore, but pecan yoga was good exercise.  

A huge thunderstorm woke me up at sometime during the dark.  Rained like the dickens with lots of close up lightning and thunder but, the power didn't go out so that's all good.  Little blessings make me happy.  LP has 2 jobs in the works and I have an interview on Friday so we shall see how all that goes.  In the meantime she is door dashing so tip well folks!  Love ya.  Mean it ^j^
