Hog Wash



Today I spray painted my old cast iron trivet that had been my Grandmothers setting by her stove for years.



I also hung up the gold Baroque carved wall mounting designed to display JD's Great Grandfather's gilded dress sword. This has amounted to an incredible amount of time with many disasters in it's creation that I would like to blog about when I am feeling better.

Nurse was here today to make certain I was still alive and take my vitals. Thursday I go back in to the specialist and more blood work. I feel absolutely run out. I can't find the charger for my laptop ???? tore the basement apart looking. I may have to go on Ebayy to see if I can get another one.

Wouldn't paint burn if you put a hot pan on the trivet? Or are you just using it as decor?......Also, you keep talking about many continuing health problems, but never mention the underlying disease that causes these symptoms...very confusing....Whatever it is, I hope you soon get some relief..being constantly sick with all these different symptoms must be very wearing on the spirit.

Two more jobs completed and lovely they are too.

Bet your old charger shows up the day your new one arrives.

Good luck with your hospital visit on Thursday.

The paint is a high temp Ford engine blue... We do have an adequate shop for wood, metal, and mechanical. I have several overlapping maladies. I am just getting over a tropical fever and loss of blood when I decided to total our BMW Z4 and land in the hospital with a compound fracture to my left leg. I am always active and pushing the envelope.

U never listen to momma Marj ( " M " ) when she tells U to rest ! LOL It might be taking longer for U to heal because of meds that U take. I take asthma meds and it causes me to take longer to heal.

Mmmmm they are going to look in both ends for the cause of the blood loss. I don't have time for TV most days and have things to keep me busy. Bought a watermelon for dinner and maybe a blog on watermelon pickles.... just have to see.

I had chocolate cake for breakfast this morning. The Aztecs were correct when they declared chocolate as the food of the Gods.
