when the weather is warm I should say.... cold and rain will keep him inside.
He can't set a beaver trap BUT he CAN trap Martin & Fisher.... which the season will soon be upon us.
Every year he wants to set a trap behind our house... every year I tell him no... the girls!
Every year he says they will have to stay in the yard. Every year I tell him NOT POSSIBLE!!!
Every year he has to set bait out and see if there is any activity... Every year the girls get in it...
I tell him to clean up the site and go test or trap somewhere else. AND he usually does.....
or NOT if the weather turns crappy by the time the season opens.
Well yesterday this all took place as a seasonal thing...... BUT the results were a little different.
This morning I let the girls out as usual.... I lay on the couch in front of the window as I fully wake up..... The window was open by my face and I was enjoying the fresh fall air that came through......
THAN it changed... the smell in the air!!! S K U N K!!!!!! I flew off the couch adrenalin pumping and wide awake now! I yelled for the girls. SARAH, LILLY, EMILY!!!!!!! They all slowly, sheepishly, guilty.... slink-ed toward the house...... Heads down, tails down and ears back..... single file...... "BUSTED"
************************************************
Tom's stress test came out fine... no sign of every having a heart attack, blood flow was normal .... no blockage or anything......
We cancelled the sleep apnea test as Tom has been loosing weight and so he has been breathing better at night.
Tom went on a diet after his hospital stay... He said he had to take off all the weight he gained that the pills put on him.... So he quit eating a bag of chips a day, bread with a pound of butter per slice, helpings of food that would feed two people well, candy bars and chocolate assortments of all kinds,...........
In one month he has lost 15 lbs (he says 30 -50... depends on who he told)..... now exercise is NOT required for this diet. Tom calls it a starvation diet....... NO BODY else could ever do what he is doing... it is brutal!!!!!!
Tom seems so happy inside that he radiates happiness as he has declared himself fit as a fiddle and cured of his dementia.....
He speaks of all the energy he has now... as he sits on the phone or staring out the window talking about all he is going to do that day or already did from his chair at the kitchen table.......?
The weather has been more than great this past month... 70's - 80........ ONE out of four days he might leave the house to go bird hunting on his 4 wheeler....... as he tells every one he goes every day all day long...... AND oh my goodness the birds he has gotten.....
BUT he is happy inside and that's all that counts... he knows his stories are stories but it makes him and convinces himself... he IS OK....
Unfortunately he didn't get back what the disease already claimed and one of them being his filter for inappropriate language..... He over reacts to what he perceives was said and reacts with the foulest mouth I have ever heard in my entire 57 years on this earth....... with pure HATE in his voice... (if the devil had a voice... ummmm ☞ "TOM" )
AND he shares his miss - guided opinions with all who will listen and attack anyone he believes has wronged him in any way......
BUT he is happy and is cured so it's OK... he has always been like that?????
