Sick

Well, I had school yesterday then worked lastnight. I woke up today; nausea vomiting and diarrhea. I hate being sick....

In my "spare-time"....

This is a pile of brush!!

Actually, it is a cover made for small birds and mammals

to hide in. It started with the trunks of the cedar

trees, then piled on the boughs, this creates a place

that birds (I'm hoping for quail) can hide in the winter.

Another picture of my brush-pile.

And another picture....

This is the Rise of Lost River in Orangeville.

The river is filling the banks here, and spilling over

down-stream.

This is a view of the Rise looking north.

You can usually see the rock "bluff", not this day!

A nice sun-rise picture, that is 37 in the foreground.

Catching Up

I have been so busy! I tried to set up so I can just email
my posts, but it doesn't appear to have worked.

School is going along, some good days some not so good days.
Lots of late nights working on Care Plans. I'll try to post my next post
from my laptop, I have some pictures on there.

Bella knew what we were saying today when we spelled N-A-P, and she said
she didn't want to.

A great idea!!

I have a question, not only for Douglas County,
but for the entire state of Oregon. Like a lot of
folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay
me, I pay my taxes and the government
distributes my taxes as they see fit. In order for
me to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a
random urine test, which I have no problem with.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution
of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a
urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test
to get a welfare check, because I have to pass one
to go earn it for them? Please understand, I have
nothing against helping people get back on their feet.
I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping
someone sit on their butt. Could you imagine how
much money the state would save if people had to
pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
