A Crick in the Neck

 No sleep Saturday night and a hard nap on Sunday left me with a crick in my neck. We went for a ride with a mission--find scraps of 2x4s for the bluebirds. We found no scraps. 

I went to the junk pile where I found my treasure, and there was not a scrap of sawdust left! There will be other construction around. 

Every time Tommy accelerated, I cried out in pain, just a little whine sometimes. Turning corners and breaking had less painful results. I could barely turn my head to right or left. Dodging the sun by turning my head made my neck hurt. As you can see, this was not a fun ride on top of being unfruitful. I was such a whiney baby! 

When we go to Cullman, I can go to a lumber yard to have the birds cut. Remember the bluebirds? I am going to add the crown part to make them into cardinals, too. I think I can sell these. Maybe on pinterest?

A trip to Publix netted me 6 half-gallons of a2milk for $20 since it was on sale 3/$10. The "use by" date is in May, so these will be good forever. This is the best deal I can get on milk. Plus, this is not even a half gallon, just 59 ounces! I hate that, really hate it. 

Since we have fresh carrots, potatoes, onions, butternut squash, Romaine, apples, oranges, bananas, and strawberries, I cannot think of anything else we need and there is no produce on sale to tempt me. Plus, I have frozen fruits and vegetables, I am content. Oh, I have canned produce and fruit, too. Life is good. 

Do you feel a bit cheated when you buy a formerly half gallon that now only have 59 ounces instead of 64? Of course, they state the ounces so a person cannot cry "foul." 

When did you last have a crick in your neck?

The sun shone brightly today and it was dry and warm enough, mid-60s. Tomorrow will be even warmer  and still dry. 

Did I get this correct?

 This is supposed to be on Practical Parsimony. So, is it showing up on moreparsimony? thi
