Insomnia Thread...

[ShearMe]

Thanks for the B-day wishes guys.

Sherry, I hope it is a bacteria... anything else could get messy to cure. On another note, let's discuss those pepper seeds in the seed thread; I haven't been getting notifications for it.

[Willow87]

I hope your finger heals Sherry. I don't know whats wrong with my plants, they get plenty of water, fertilizer and sunlight. Who knows. Since its hot, whatever makes it, makes it, whatever doesn't, doesn't lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Now just don't be getting me all worried, Zac! I'll be just fine, you'll see.


So I hope you're enjoying your birthday. I sure remember 19 like it was yesterday.


Yeah Cam, I can't wait to be rid of it, so I can type normally again.


I gotta go for a bit and not sure when I'll be back. Hope you guys have a great night.


Happy Birthday, Zac.


G'night.

[Willow87]

You too Sherry.

I like it that way; when it's cold sometimes you don't know somethign's dying 'till it's too late because they're refrigerated so well!

Get better Sherry!

[Willow87]

A few of my plants are scorched but there isnt anything i can do lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks Zac & Cam.


Guess I should hit the hay soon. Gotta see that doctor early in the morning. I'm nervous about it.


Hope everyone has a terrific sleep. Chat tomorrow...

If it were me, I'd just heat up a pin on the stove and lance it myself. But then, I'm a guy and guys do stupid things. :P

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Not to worry Tom...I'm going to have it done this morning.


Gotta go now. I'll let you guys know how it works out...


: )

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm home!!! And I'm alive!


Well they lanced and drained my finger and it's on the mend. So much relief from the pressure now. The test results won't be back until next week but I've been given a stronger pain med and I gotta take the antbiotic around the clock every 6 hours.


I should go because I'm feeling kinda zombie-like and wanna rest for a bit...but I'll be back in a couple hours or less, likely.


Hope you guys are having a great Sunday so far.

Thanks for letting us know! Glad it helped some! Maybe the worst is over now and it will continue to feel better and better. Get some rest! I'm sure the pain pills will be knocking you on your butt!

I'm getting ready to take a few pictures to post! So we'll see you here in a couple of hours.

[tbaleno]

Glad things are progressing with your finger. I can never enjoy sundays because I always remember I have to go back to work tomorrow.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It was really gross what drained out of it though...first a whole bunch of water, then a lot of green and yellow puss (yuck! ) and then blood. More came out when I got home, but I think it's fully drained now. The swelling has gone down nearly completely and my finger looks like a finger again.


Still sore but not like before. I'm happy it's feeling and looking better. Now I just have to keep it clean and keep taking the anti-biotic.


So I hope everyone had an ok weekend and you're enjoying your Sunday night. I was exhausted from the whole finger ordeal and those painkillers really knocked me on my %!*...so I took a nap. I slept for a long time, but that's likely a good thing right now.


So who's around? Loading a shot...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

I'm here again. Just got back from eating Mexican food with hubby. I love Mexican food but it doesn't love me. Time for a Tums! ~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Mmmmm...I love spicey mexican food too JaNan. I don't suffer too bad yet but my mom warns me that I will when I get older. I just hope I'm near a toilet if it affects me that bad.


Now I have a hankering for mexican food...thanks a lot. I like making homemade tacos with the hard shells. This might be just the excuse I needed to make them tomorrow!


So I was just about to make a phonecall to my mom for a minute or two. She just bought a nice little glider chair and table set for her balcony and she's all excited because she bought these globe garden lights to wrap around the railing too.


She's got a purple beauty pepper, and a "patio" tomato plant...plus a beautiful "orchid blue" geranium. They're all thriving and the purple beauty is setting fruits now!


I was going to bring some more of my plants to her place but I've been too busy packing and dealing with my finger infection. I don't think I can manage the back and forth trips right now with trying to pack and get ready to move. Moving is my only priority right now...apart from my aero-garden and pepper plants!


Ok so I've babbled enough now. Your turn...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Take some pictures of her plants too the next time you are over there. I would love to see them. And her new lights when it is dark. If she doesn't mind that is.

I make what I call JaNan Tacos at home. I fry a good size tater and an onion, then add ground beef and season it up. Once that is browned I spoon it into a soft whole wheat tortilla. Then add sprinkled CoJack cheese and Tomato Salsa. My family loves them - so much so that my daughter asked me to make them for her birthday meal. I'll take the leftover meat blend and scramble some eggs into it the next morning and have breakfast tacos. Very, very good!

Do you still have a lot to pack or are you getting close?

~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm a quarter of the way there...but a journey of a thousand miles, begins with the first
step.


Mmmmm, those sound yummy. I can just imagine how delicious they are. If I lived near you I'd be begging you to make them all the time too, JaNan.


All this food talk is making me hungry. I made homemade chicken noodle soup with the leftover chicken carcass. I added a hot pepper to my bowl to spice it up a bit. I'm still kinda sipping on it. Love soup in a cup. I'm hungry for something more though. Maybe I should have had a bun with it.


So yeah, I was thinking of making a little terrarium with some low-growing plants. They're so pretty and interesting and I was looking at pictures in a book recently. I'm gonna shop around for the right type of glass container with a lid. I'm not sure what I'll put in it just yet but likely some succulents for sure. I'd love some flowers in there also. We'll see. Ever made one?


I was going to go to the 24-hour grocery store/nursery this evening but now I'm not sure. I'm still feeling kinda tired.


So what are your plans this evening?


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

So was it from the Little Blue? And was it hot (the pepper in your soup)?

Yes, I have made terrariums before and given them as gifts. I buy my glassware at the thrift stores I frequent. You can get some really good size ones on the cheap there.

I think it is amazing that you have a 24 hour grocery store/nursery. I guess a super WalMart would be the closest thing to that here. Probably just read on the computer tonight. I still have to go feed the animals and water the plants. I may start a new thread I have been thinking about.

Where are the guys this evening? Guess they are all doing something if the sun is still up. They will join us after it gets dark when they don't have anything better to do!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, it was a 'little blue' fruit and boy are they hot! I love them though.


Yes, we have a superstore Wal-mart too but this is just a grocery store but with a nursery too. Last year, some summer nights, I was buying plants at 2 o'clock in the morning! It was fun on nights I couldn't sleep.


I think I grossed the guys out with all my finger infection talk! Speaking of which, just when I thought it was over, I saw more yucky stuff oozing out of it a few minutes ago. I gently squeezed it over the sink and it actually squirted out!!! How disgusting! How much more will there be? The doc said that there would be more but I didn't expect this. Now it's sore again. Oh well, at least that crap is coming out though.


I apologize to anyone I've grossed out!


Yup JaNan, I'll try to get a shot of my mom's plants one time. I don't think she'll mind but she can be weird like that sometimes. I had to beg her to let me show that shot of her in the image thread today. She finally agreed and didn't see the harm.


I gotta go pour some more peroxide on this finger...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Peroxide is good stuff! That should boil it out really well!

Aw, they are boys, they should be tougher than that! Where is it coming out? From under your fingernail? Is there a hole where they lanced it?

Just finished feeding all the animal children. It takes a little while even with both of us doing it.
