Friday Morning Nov 8th

 Well I'm still doctoring this muscle ache in the lower back which is so annoying but does limit me to any work or standing on my feet for any length of time, but the healing on the hide removal from the dermatologist looks good after finally a hot shower last night and the removal of the bandage to see just how much hide she removed, Nancy applied another bandage before bed time.

I started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be as well as can be expected with this post. I called the Ford dealership about having the gear shift worked on in my new truck and about getting a loner vehicle while its in the shop and finally by early afternoon they were able to get me one, which is a 2024 Mustang 2-door. Very sporty but a bear getting in and out of especially with a bad back, oh well. It seems I may have to be driving this for quite a spell as that part has to be special ordered from the factory, where ever that is.

I spent the biggest part of the day nursing this sore muscle with ice packs, rub downs and even I found my old hand held ultra sound machine and used that in hopes of breaking up this knot in my muscle or at least it feels like one. It is painful but mostly annoying as I can function but not with out pain. Its a little better this morning after wearing a hot patch for most of the evening and night. I'm off to Keswick School this morning at 8 AM as grand daughter Eliza's class is supporting veterans and she invited me to attend and represent her as the national holiday is next Tuesday. We will I hope attend the Olive Garden for a free meal on the date as well for all vets as we have done that the past couple of years and its now a tradition.

I did venture out to hand water my gardens which need some work as the grasses are taking over once again. I have lots of cucumbers seedlings showing nice colors as well as lots of beans poking through the ground. Another dad gum cut worn got one of my Swiss Chard seedlings, but I don't think it cut off the main stalk just some leaves, oh well. We watched the Fox news and once again the dem's are crying and clueless along with their supporters and they just don't get it that America is fed up with their progressive woke and D.E.I. agendas and the open border as well as the inflation, which is why we chose Trump over this inept word salad, who had no idea what she was doing; which was basically nothing to help US(A) as the VP and she stated she wanted to continue Biden's agendas. It was a big red wave, thank GOD because now we will hopefully save the nation for our children and grands as Trump was a proven leader during his first term despite the other party being an obstacle at every turn and then making up lies and distortions to discredit him and his policies.

That was about it for the day as I hit the sack a little before 10, and then watched some ALONE before lights out around 10:30, LATER
