It is a beautiful day here in Bethel Springs, Tennessee with
the sun coming up over the tree line and my husband already outside burning
tree stumps to clear them from the path of our house being built. Hello
everyone. I got up this morning to a fresh cup of coffee and a smiling husband.
It has been difficult these past few days with it being the end of the month
and we are running out of things.
Our car has enough gas to go to town, but not return. We
have run out of generator gas and almost out of weed eater gas which puts us at
a stand still on clearing the property. We did manage to get the front yard
taken care of for curb appeal and most of what we have cleared already. I ran
the weed eater yesterday while my husband was burning piles of brush. I must
say that I got a little too much sun and my arms and shoulders are a bit
burned, so there will be no working outside for me today.
Our food rations are depleted except the one can of soda I
have remaining and enough food to make a goulash for dinner. We both have been
losing weight and the energy levels are low. My husband was hypoglycemic
yesterday and I needed to give him some of my glucose tablets to help raise his
sugar. We have no way of getting to any of the food banks for food because of
our gas issue and my husband’s pride can be an issue with asking for help. He
reminds me we are not a charity case.
Our neighbors filled out IBC totes back up with water for us
the other day so there will water to drink, but no food. I have written my
father asking for help to buy food but haven’t gotten an answer yet. Things
look grim for us and my husband is afraid we will lose too much weight
especially with me being diabetic. My sugars have been running very low and he
fears that something will happen to me. We are running on fumes and don’t know
how to take a day off because there is so much to do around here. We just have
to get to the 29th of the month to see any money.
What we have left to do while our gas has been depleted is
burn all the brush we have piled up in groups which means it will get really
hot and we will be drinking a lot of water. Well, it is time for me to get on
to something else and I will talk again tomorrow providing I have battery life
on my computer. I wish everyone an awesome hump day and a “Happy Birthday” to
those who gained another year today. May you have many more to come. Take care.
