Another Monday - Hello August!

Good Morning Neighbors.

August is here and I am excited for fall.

I hope I will be able to walk again without pain soon.

My hip surgery is scheduled for the 17th and I pray the pain will be gone shortly after.

I am joining in with Sandra over at

Family Corner Blog for her 

HAPPY HOMEMAKER MONDAY!

THE WEATHER:

Better than July, hot but tolerable, overcast skies and a nice breeze.

We might get rain on Tuesday but this is the Ozarks and

Mother Nature is moody, very moody!

OUT MY WINDOW:

Sitting at my dining table I can see our pond, blooming red flowers and kayaks.

Thehubs and I have created a beautiful yard and landscape.

RIGHT NOW I AM:

Blogging, reading and drinking coffee. 

Our sinuses are stuffed so we are waiting for our sinus medication to kick in.

Kitty has been outside and is now asleep in her bed.

Thehubs is working in his office and the house is quiet.

THINKING AND PONDERING:

Boredom.  A list of house work. Laundry. Pain in my hip, back and legs.

This summer has been spent inside using a walker and I have had very little communication to and from my normal world.  Work ethic is big here in Missouri. If my hip wasn't bone on bone, I would have been outside working with the others. It has been a very lonely summer.

Our 25th Wedding Anniversary was a bad memory and how to change the trajectory of our future.

Praying that our 26th Wedding Anniversary is a good memory.

LISTENING TO:

Nothing but quiet.

The sound of my home.

The wonderful cool air blowing through the air vents.

HOW AM I FEELING:

Pain, stopped up nose, ringing ears.

Like an alien in my own body.

Confused, too much stress and too little relief from it.

FOOD:

I have a freezer full of meat, and a pantry full of vegetables.

The fresh vegetables are tapering off.

I fried sweet potatoes last night for the first time and they were delicious.

Too hard to plan right now, our eating schedule is eat whenever.

The benefit of retirement I guess.

WHAT AM I WEARING:

Long gown pajamas with soft socks.

My favorite would be jeans and t-shirt.

ON MY READING PILE:

Blogs, Instagram

ON MY TV THIS WEEK:

Nothing, we rarely watch it.

Too much want, too much sex, too much of too much of everything.

ON THE MENU:

Not sure, have lots of food and will decide each day.

LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE:

The house is good.

Dishes, laundry, general pickup and of course dirty toilets.

I will be needing to repot some plants.

Our bed is on the floor due to my hip so

my bedroom looks a bit un-done.

I ordered two prints from Kirklands for my birthday.

I love them but am hitting a blank when it comes to hanging them.

I hope to get my fall decor down this week.

I am hoping it cheers me up.

TO DO LIST:

Get some new glasses.

Paint light over kitchen sink.

Cook a meal for our neighbor that is so helpful.

Mail a card to a friend in need of some uplifting words.

Take Mom for ice cream.

DEVOTION:

Thank you for coming over to visit. I am glad you stopped by.
