It actually rained a little bit yesterday. Just enough to remind us what it looks and smells like and then it quit. I think we are about 13 inches behind for the year. Very humid and sticky today.
Yesterday morning I was going to fix cold cereal for breakfast. Was not feeling too energetic. When I went to get it down it fell over backwards. It is on a shelf that I can just reach the edge of. ( Sometimes being 5 ft 1 inch is a problem.) I have been encouraged to let Cowboy do as much as he can so I ask him to do little things every day (empty the trash, open the blinds, pour our drinks for a meal) so I asked him to get the cereal box down. He reached up to get it, leaned sidewards and then just kind of slid to the floor. He ended up on his knees and seemed dazed, like he didn't know what just happened. He was OK but it was kind of strange.
Last night I baked a chicken, a sweet potato and steamed some spinach. This is a meal that Cowboy likes. He used to like some stuffing with it but the last two times I fixed that he didn't touch it. Well, last night he ate three bites of the sweet potato, chewed a small amount of chicken off a leg and got up from the table and left. He had eaten a good lunch and some watermelon in the afternoon. Sometimes I just feel like it is useless to try to get him to eat. I know in my heart all I can do is prepare it and present it and hope he will eat. It is hard when you try so hard and get so little result. and I hate wasting food but even the regular Cowboy wasn't big on leftover veggies so what do you do. I felt really bummed out.
I took our dog for a nice walk this morning. It was a bit cooler and cloudy. I have been feeling less than good the last couple of days. My head is clogged up and I have a headache. I think it is my allergies and the weather. Kind of ache all over too. I think I will limit myself today. I have a nice big Sunday paper to keep me occupied.
