Hey, they lied….. they said the pain would continue “for a few days”. Most likely similar to what it was before…. Hell-Fire! I didn’t have a lot of pain before, it was just uncomfortable as one molar was higher than the other side and biting down cause a bit of discomfort but this CRAP is real pain now… although it does come in and out? mostly in when I try to eat and that “grinder” tooth gets pushed around… This morning we got out late and went to Shortcakes for breakfast… treat for Sherrie as I am not high on going there but she likes it and I figured having and omelet would not be thought to chew… it wasn’t just kept pushing that sore tooth so it hurt when I left…
From there went to the Farmers market and picked up some sweet purple asparagus. Hope to have that tomorrow or Monday? not sure when… but it won’t be hard to chew although am sure it will still cause miss-cues on the sore tooth…
Got home from that and figured , before the storms hit, that I needed to get a bit of yard work done… so I got busy to move a big clump of decorative grass from the front fountain area to the south side of the house. It was ok where it was but it got so big it hung out in front of the step and would be a collector for leaves and other stuff… so moving it should give a bit more water, light and ? to the grass clumps in behind…
So that big one is moved out…
But first I had to get the other spot prepared. I wanted to lay down some protection against the damn Bermuda grass…hopefully slow it down from growing over the block wall and taking out anything I plant over there… we should have run the rock area on down to the end but …. oh well…
I got the back of the wall dug out… and got the weed control laid out and held down… whew it was above 80 but the humidity was 90… just felt hot…
I have on clump of lily back there … I had put a lot of lily in there but it all got choked, or killed out by the grass and my trying to control the grass… with this I hope to go back and put some lily in along the wall later on to fill in all along there… and fill up with mulch, now I need some more of the big rocks for border… like those on the right…
A little more digging and splitting of that huge clump of tall grass into 3 smaller one and got that planted into the area… just fill in the lilies in the middle and cover it all with mulch, or rocks?
once that was done I got my tools cleaned up a bit and then finished up my post hole for an antennas post up on the NE side of the property… it has been so hard the other day I got half way down and hit hard clay… but now it was near full of water and I dug out a bunch of mud… ha! That is ok, now I need to get the post and some sac-Crete and set that in place… then build up my 24ft lifts for the antennas wire… that one will be the NE corner of a 160 meter loop… I have the SE corner up and will need to make another 2×4 pole for the NW corner and have a tree for the SW corner… although it won’t be a round or square loop, more like a rectangle or lopsided star? Just hoping it works out ok… the 80 meter loop was over there before and it worked pretty good, even though I never got it up more than 14 ft.… I have plenty of time before 160 meter season comes back…
While I was busy with all that, my tooth didn’t actually hurt much but after I came in the pain killers wore off and about 3:30pm it was really bad… or maybe withdrawal from the pain meds? So I took some more Ibuprofen and it helped a little but not enough… From there I took some of the better pain meds and promptly took a nap… that helped calm it down…
For dinner, not wanting to aggravate that damn tooth, I had a chocolate shake… no need to chew any of that… and it felt pretty good… although I am a meat and potatoes type I figure that was pretty good…
As I set here writing we are getting hit by strong Thunderstorms… funny… the storm hit here, blew rain clear under my big eaves and was hitting the big doors… but now that it has moved on east and the wind died down… the weather radio is going off… a bit late for us… hum…. and a tornado warning south of us… lots of warnings from this series of storms moving east… Spring time in Oklahoma keeps you on your toes… or in the storm shelter…
