March 2014: The Children Are Tender

Caregiving, teaching little kids to read, and riding in the pickup with Farmer John; I tweet, pin, and blog, from my home in rural Kansas. If you've landed here looking for information about my books, visit my author's page by clicking this link: Amazon.com/Linda A. Born. Thanks for visiting!

Looking Back: August, 2022






All the Rausch family except Brian were very sick with colds the first week of August but not with Covid, so soup and a baked chicken went to them.  They were better by Friday the 5th and headed to a Royals game.  

John was all about making hay this month.  

I got a new tracfone for Johnnie and Irma and programmed it, and sanded and repainted the island drawers.  I continued with reading lessons for Isaac and resumed writing devotions for Daniel as he prepared for his freshman year of high school. 

I made trips to the dentist struggling to get my bridge to stay and fit.  Headaches and eye aches most days. Profound exhaustion. Dental work may have aggravated migraine-like pain.  Bright and hot days are not my friends.  (However, we learned in November that my TSH had risen nearly 3 points in the wake of slowing my metabolism by beginning Atenolol. And so adjusting my thyroid meds sure helped everything--energy levels as well as headaches).  

Meals and food mentioned this month:
  • cherry sheet pan pie
  • 2 dozen rolls
  • roast
  • Taco bar
  • Sent cookies to Denise and Todd. 
  • Multiple batches of pesto to eat and for freezer. 
  • 4 dozen cookies for Gould funeral.  
  • Flank steak over noodles.
