205 with a sore throat

Makana had a sore throat with a 104 degree fever on Monday morning. He said it had bothered him Sunday, too, but he didn't have a fever then. So, Jill gives him some Motrin at about 5:30 am, he sleeps until 10:00 am, he gets up & he's all better. That's it. His temp ran about 99 the rest of the day but he was basically better & now he's back to normal. Praise God for that!

Me? I'm down with whatever he had. Just a slight fever, sore throat, fatigue, etc. I'm still at work, but might have to check out, tho.

Anyway, I got up this morning & weighed 205! That must be from my efforts to limit calorie intake yesterday.

These things are freaky. I found three of them on my tomato plants yesterday. They can be difficult to spot.


The "horned tomato worm".

I found a few about 3 weeks ago & got rid of them before they could do any damage. This time, they did do a little bit of damage because I haven't been out there in about 3 days. Nothing major, tho. They're nasty to kill, too. Bunch of green goopy slimy stuff. So, I buried two & stepped on the dirt real hard. And the other one I threw against the ground real hard. Yep, it splattered some. But the neat thing was that the ants pretty much had him gone in no time.

They're eating machines that quickly devour its food. Tomato worms turn into these things when they grow up -
