Random Tidbits

I have mixed up a few tablespoons of oil and two essential oils, to use on my back.  It's still sore from that hospital bed.  I had to sleep elevated with that tube in my nose, and my back is still sore most days.  I hope it helps with the inflammation and pain. So far, it is helping.

I'm down to a half jar of homemade "Vaseline" too.  It has saved my feet.  The hospital visit was terrible on my skin.  My feet were the worst with dry, cracked, damaged skin.
 

I have not forgotten about posting my homemade noodle recipe.  I'm working on that soon.  With my "extreme clean" going on, I tend to forget things and run out of time.  Except for the day I got "lazy" ha ha!

My current, pain in the rump, project.  It's the leftover mess after we attempted to remove wallpaper trim about 8-9 years ago.  Now that this small room is empty, it's back on the "to-do" list.  So far, spraying the remaining paper with vinegar water is removing it.  There is a layer of "glue" leftover that I'll be dealing with in a few weeks (this won't be an overnight job).  I'm enlisting help from the kids on this one.  I have other jobs going on too.

Sorry if this is a repeat - I did the first "pop" test with 4 kernels of homegrown popcorn.  Two popped perfectly, and two popped about halfway.  Just a few more weeks of drying, and I'll be removing it from the cob.

Word from the kids - the fox may still be around.  According to their research, a fox can "cry" and sound like a woman screaming.  Wonderful.  Unless there is a woman screaming in the woods, the fox is living out there somewhere. They are nocturnal, and the sounds were heard sometime after 10pm.
