If you could see what I see

1/6/08 Sunday
It was one of those mornings that I wished I had a camera with one of the lenses that allow you to capture a big horizon. "If sunrises had music it would be surround sound" was the way Cherie described it. The puppies woke me at five this morning wrestling around. When I got up a bit later I could see it would be a good sunrise despite of how early it was. In the past I have taken several pictures and tried to put them together to get this big West Texas horizon but it didn’t work. So here are a few. You can kind of get an idea what it was like.
==============================
I’m glad I didn’t go to church. This has been a bad slowdown with a major headache to go with it. At least I’m getting the watering done. I just noticed that I forgot to water the grapevines I planted two or three weeks ago. Not good. They are watered now and hopefully I’ll remember to make that a regular routine, if they live that is. It’s noon and I am tired as I always am with a slowdown, so will lay down. Am using the alarm on my phone to remind me to change the sprinklers. Wish I had thought of this before as an alarm is a powerful tool to compensate for short term memory loss.

I remembered to tell Cherie about how there are occasions where things seem to be moving out of the corner of my eye. This is disturbing and I must wonder what it is a sign of. It is stationary objects like trees. I told Cherie to make a note and be sure to bring it up next time I see the doctor.



Yesterday wasn’t bad but I did have some slowdowns. Cherie has noted these seem to come in cycles where I go through a period of many seizures, sometimes several in one day. Then I might have a week or two that are real good. But I got some stuff done though not nearly what I wanted. Today it is to get almost to eighty degrees so I want to take advantage of that. I told Cherie I didn’t want to miss church because I didn’t want people to think bad of me but she said I need to stop doing that. “People miss church all the time for all kinds of reasons” she admonished. I suppose. But I will skip it today. There is so much to do. I’ve been running the sprinkler non stop for…I don’t remember but a week or two. It’s all in an attempt to get the rye grain up and healthy. There hasn’t been any rain for quite a while now. It will be interesting to see what the electric bill at the pump will be as come growing season I will be using lots of water. That’s why I want to drill another well and put in a windmill.

Crap. My right ear just started ringing loud and the left kind of went out. Not a good sign. It is sometimes a precursor of one type of seizure I get. I’m fairly sharp this morning so don’t want that at all. Like I ever do, duh. Now my fingers are having a hard time hitting the right keys. I’m gonna get outside now and get working with the hope this will be short or light, but at least I will get something done.
