~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Have a safe trip back north Rava, I'm sure your kids and grandkids will be just as excited seeing you.

Hopefully you and Mr J can get the mower back up and running today Jude, if you're successful I guess I know what you day will be spent doing lol.

Sounds like everyone had a pretty good Mother's Day, able to spend it with some family. I'm sitting in my comfy chair this morning as I came back to Veg yesterday afternoon! Corey had plans for a supper out with his entire immediate family so he told me just to finish up the field I was working on then call it a day. It's supposed to rain this afternoon and night, but if the rain doesn't come then I'll probably head back out this afternoon and get back to seeding. We're just over 1/2 done so it's going along pretty smoothly.

My Mother's Day was great! I got to see all of my boys. Can't beat that.

Jude, good luck with the repair work today. I have no doubt you two will get it done!

ABC, I'm happy you got a quick trip home. Thank you for all your hard work!

Rava, safe travels home tomorrow! Those grands will be happy to see you!

Dill, ice cream sundae bar? What an excellent idea. Your pond sounds perfectly serene. Id love to see a picture.

Morning Slo, I hope you have a wonderful day! Hi Mul

Busy Monday so best get going but I'll gratefully take another day of freedom!

[Slo]

I did enjoy time with my mother and little sister and a soccer game!

Turns out I caused myself a calcium deficiency too on this dumb detox diet. My old hair tests from a couple years ago showed low calcium, but the “guru” doesn’t believe we need calcium supplementation. Someone is helping me with that now. I am so sick that I am so stupid. I am also so sick & weak & impaired from low calcium and high B6, and weak & dizzy from B6 withdrawal. I hate myself. Have ruined both my life and my health.

The cleaners come soon for the first time.

Such a nice Mother’s Day, Dill!
And Cowboy got a day at home too!

We all make mistakes, the main thing is to learn from them, and now that you found the cause, you can begin to heal! Hopefully you have as speedy of a recovery as possible!

Yup dill, the only supplement/vitamin I take these days is Vitamin D in the winter, when it's necessary. I certainly don't need any now that I'm out in the (high UV) sun a lot! .

Had a great few days, saw one of my oldest childhood friends (who i hadn't seen in over 5 years) a couple of times in that span. Perfect weather too for morning coffee and walk, and then got lunch!

Mr. J's sister passed away this morning and her pain and suffering have come to an end. What a horrendous thing cancer is. God speed Shari...

24 more please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Jude, am so sorry about your SIL but glad her suffering is over. Cancer sucks. Today is travel day. Leaving here at 9 am to head to the airport. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the rainy weather will not delay our flights. Hopefully my next post will be from my tiny home. Wishing everyone a sober and safe day. 24 more please and thank you.

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law Jude, my thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family...

How did it work out with the cleaners Slo, I'll bet you're glad you didn't have to do it all.

I even got the whole day yesterday at home Ginger, and possibly today as well depending on how quickly the fields dry after the rain.

Ice cream is my biggest weakness now dill, I could eat it every night for a snack!

Nice when you get to see old friends Mulburry, get caught up on all the happenings since you last saw each other.

Not sure if I'll get another day/night at home with Bubba, it quit raining sometime last night and I see this morning that the street and sidewalks are dry but it all depends now on how much rain fell out at the farm and how quickly it takes for the fields to dry up enough to get back in them.

[dill]

Jude, I'm sorry for your family's loss. It sounds like the end to her suffering is a true blessing for her and all who love her.

I hope you had a good experience with the cleaners, Slo. My cleaning lady is coming today. I'm really glad!

I have to hurry off this morning. We have a maintenance appointment for one of our vehicles early this morning.


24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Ginger999]

Jude, I'm sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Shari. My thoughts go out to Mr J.

ABC, I'm glad you got some extra time at home. Now get back to work. Lol

Rava, you'll be home before you know it!

Slo, thinking of you.

Mulberry, what profession are you in, if you don't mind saying? Curious mind over here...

Dill, enjoy that clean house!

Off to coffee with an old colleague and over to see the greats and give mama a break.

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Slo]

Jude, I’m so sorry for your family’s loss, and all the suffering she & you all endured through her cancer. Cancer is just the worst.

The cleaning people ruined a cupboard a bit, and broke the top header off to a large set of blinds, and scratched it up. Grrr -now I have to figure out a repair.
This morning I called the guy I used for move-in cleaning, and he is going to be my cleaner.

Cowboy, perfect that you’re getting a little stretch of time at home.

Enjoy your day, Ginger! Safe travels, Rava.

Thank you, Mulburry. You’re right: there’s nothing I can do except be grateful that the causes have finally been revealed, and realize what a blessing this in itself is; and be grateful that these may be reversible. And, you’re right: there’s unfortunately nothing I can do really except learn from my mistakes. Like, be like my wise friends here: eat moderately, don’t fall for extreme diets of any sort, and don’t supplement unless there’s a known deficiency.
Cannot believe I was so suckered in and lost my way! I can’t help but beat myself up as I lost so many years, I affected my family negatively with it all; and I will lose more years with healing time.

Good for you for eating that ice cream, Cowboy! I eschewed dairy all these years based on the guru’s recommendations -to deleterious effects.

Mul, isn’t the sun wonderful?! That is great that you’re having time with a very old friend too.

This is a quote that Cowboy posted over on WQD recently. I liked it so much I decided to share it here. I hope you don't mind, Cowboy! You posted it at a time when that was the exact message I needed to hear, so it really hit home and was helpful.

Rava, I hope your journey home was good. Are you there yet? lol

Jude, Ginger, Slo and Mul, let's all have a day of freedom!

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. We are in our little house. Stopped and got carry out from our favorite Chinese restaurant . Lots of rain and thunder last night. It’s great to be back. I feel lucky to be able to enjoy warm sunshine all winter so I am not complaining about a little rain. Since this place is so small I don’t need a cleaning person. I am able to mange it myself. Got to get some groceries this morning and will probably get back to the gym this week. Hope everyone has a great day. 24 more please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

5:18am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...
