Nothing like having to redo 🍁fall chores! I had to redo my water fountain cover. Well, the winds whipped the next day, I lost the cover off of the swing bench, and I could barely recover it. Sturdy yellow rope did it!
In the meantime, JB has put his back out. He's been spending hours researching zoning bylaws. He's been dictating his research and I'm typing it out in a Word document. He can't use his left arm, even though he is a touch typist (Gr. 11 typing class), and he uses a stylus in his right arm, but it is slow. I feel badly for him.
I'm going to have to order groceries, as his is out of commission. Advil, TLC, Dr. Ho, and Voltaren. I use a spatula to put the topical cream on his back. It works so well. We bought it in Westport.

It's mating season. They urinate on their glands to spread their smell!

Everyone in my world is complaining about fogging up their trailcams!

...I hope that JB will be feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteBummer on JB's back. Your spatula idea is brilliant -- I need to remember that one. So glad Voltaren is now over the counter!
ReplyDeleteBack pain is such a trial. I hope JB improves quickly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the coyote has had enough of pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteLots of thick foggy shots on mine.
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of does and at least one young male (four point) hanging around. I'm not hearing any shots so thankfully the hunters are well back in the bush.
Sorry JB is feeling so rough. I keep threatening to buy a hot tub. Before Covid my friend and I used to go to a nearby fitness center and soak for an hour. It was SO GREAT for back spasms.
Wonderful cam photos of the critters ~
ReplyDeleteDo hope JB heals quickly and that you are not too overloaded ~ Xo

I am sorry to hear about JB's back. I hope he recovers quickly - and that you don't have to redo any chores.
ReplyDeleteYou've mentioned some meds, and that has reminded me Pharmacies here are complaining of shortage in all sorts of meds. Hopefully, it's temporary as most people need them.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to watch the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteAlways lots of chores to do, my list is growing and need to tackle them soon :) Sorry to read that JB has put his back out. Having had back issues in the past I can certainly empathize. I hope he feels better soon. Enjoyed the videos, the coyote looks very healthy, and a handsome looking deer. Is Butch a raccoon? He looked like the right size. I haven’t put my trail cams out yet. I have a new one now so that will be fun to see what it produces. I still have the older one so will have to think where I am going to put it. Enjoy the rest of your week Jenn, I hope it doesn’t get too cold. Our weather has started getting chillier too.
ReplyDeletePoor guy! I wish I could type properly though.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about JB's back. I can truly empathize, but I'm not quite as bad as his condition.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Canada goodies. What fun to see the coyote and the buck on the trail cam.
I sure hope all that medication helps. I was glad they now allow Voltaren here in the U.S. since I had to buy it for people when we were out of country. Poor JB. I hate back pain.
