They Say Confession is Good for the Soul

So:  My name is Carole and I am a Western and Cowboy fan!  I LOVE the old shows, black and white or color, I don't care.  Faded a lot-- as is "Rawhide" but I don't care.  I will squint and keep adjusting to make it all out regardless.

I get to see all the Western stars who have passed now as the shows are so old.  There may be a few still living.  I don't google to see.

I look forward to them like some kid each Saturday and watch as many as I can while I am getting other things done.  It's a harmless affection for the old TV shows from the 50's thru the 70's as the latest--- (as in Bonanza).

I love seeing Steve McQueen, from the late 50's in Wanted Dead or Alive and see the only nice Bounty Hunter out there!  😊 But I love seeing all of the others.

I loved watching Wild Wild West but they took it off air so..I hope I'll find it again some day.

The kid in me, where these shows are concerned, is so far and away from my usual adult personality.  I am much more serious and more into other things including all things History.  But Saturday...as when I was a little girl...I'll settle in to watch my fave horse operas and that will keep me until the next Saturday.

Humpty Dumpty

Will they put Humpty Dumpty together again? That's the question of the hour.

Hi and hello and good day to you.  I wanted to give you a break from my too frequent blogs.  But as with the bad penny...look who's back?

Experimenting for the first time with an online order.  Just a loaf of bread...nasty  gummy white bread as they don't have whole wheat...and 4 cans of tart cherries.  Wanted to see what it was like.

WE have had an entire month of rain...with 2 exceptions, and looking at my Dark Sky app..we have another week of solid rain..well, except for Thursday at 30%, coming up.  The City said the continuing rain is making it hard for the sewers.

Went and got my hair done.  They sanitized all the time...most people cancelled so social distance was no problem.  WE  don't have a case in my town yet.  But it's going to happen.  Just a matter of time.

Beginning to be like the old stuff us kids used to see in school about duck and cover.  Just as depressing and just as dark.

I'd head out t the park or elsewhere but...every present  rain makes that nothing to savor.  ''Hey. speaking f savor, I made some fried chicken and yeller rice last night.  Nommy.

You know what?  I may make a crustless pumpkin pie!  Knowing me, it'll be gone in three days!

Stop by if you want some.  Everything but the calorie filled crust...good as that always is.

The rain beat these poor guys off the tree within 3 days of blooming. 

It SEEMED Like a Good Idea at the Time....

Here's my prob.  I have had disc problems and other related problems in my lower spine hence a continual back ache.  Hurts like heck all the time but I grin and bear it as it sure beats being immobile.  I am grateful as always, for what I have and what is given.

Back to the topic.  I have a 3" memory foam topper on the firm mattress.  Cheaper than buying a new mattress at those horribly inflated prices and never really knowing whether the one you chose will truly be what you need until it's too late. Love the foam topper, but after daily use for several years, it sags somewhat under the heavier portion of the body.  (no, I don't weight "that" much).  I rotate it every 4 weeks I will say,  for the record.  Oooh, I feel like Perry Mason...let the record show...let the record so state...or is that Hamilton Berger?

Anyway, my lower back feels like someone tried to cave it in with a baseball bat each morning on my very painful rising...even sitting on the edge of bed while Katie almost headbutts me off onto the floor is painful.  {My walking rather fast also does my back in but the alternative is not exercising.  I don't swim and don't wanna}

Moving on..I had a light bulb moment last early evening.  I recalled that I had a "sofa saver" under the sofa as I had accidentally bought another when I already had one.  Light bulb said "Take out the sofa saver and put it on the mattress UNDER the memory foam pad.  It may provide a bit of support that will alleviate the pain."  I obeyed the lightbulb.  I laid with great expectation on the bed later and I thought..."I can do this if I try hard".  Well, I managed till 0600, but the gathering pain got me up.

I learned two things.  I can feel the creases in the sofa board...each one.  And, it's too hard really.  Not good and counterproductive of course.  However, it did improve my sleep a bit regardless...until the pain got too too bad.  I took the sofa saver out- as it would not really do..and folded it back to its home under the sofa on the floor until a moment arrives when it can be used for its stated purpose.

One never hears good things many times about the "pillow top" mattresses and surely they too will flatten. Maybe I could rent a barn and sleep standing up with Mr. Ed or his cohorts.
