Being spread thin!

My mother had knee replacement surgery Tuesday. She's 90 yrs. young and doing great. They already have her leg on a machine that exercises her leg up and down and also had her up the next day with a walker to walk to the door in her room and back. Amazing! Friday she starts the real therapy. She's doing so well right now, I hope she'll be able to continue successfully without too much discomfort. She's so tough, I'm sure she'll do fine.
We've already had two fairly hard frosts. I've been trying to find a spare minute to get into the garden and get the last of my tomatoes and peppers. There are so many green tomatoes I wasn't sure what to do with them. So, using the good 'ol internet, I looked up Green Tomato Recipes. I couldn't believe how many there are. So, I tried to narrow it down to three. Green Tomato Relish, Green Tomato Cake, (hmm-mm), and Green Tomato Pickles. Now if I can just find a minute to gather them up, and get the ambition to try these! Between sewing, sorting bills and deciding which one gets paid and which ones have a longer grace period, running the shop, keeping up the laundry, and running back and forth to the hospital, surely there must be a minute or two I'm not using wisely. ( like, maybe blogging on the computer?)
Sometimes, I feel so stressed out, I feel like just going out to the barn and mingling with the cats and horses and avoid all human contact. Humans can be very stressful. So much more demanding than animals.
