I am just draining from a terrific head cold that seemed to completely plug up my neural synapses as well as take away any vestiges of energy I had for the last week. On Dan's birthday last Friday I temporarily felt better and made the big mistake of doing a full day's work including cleaning my fridge, baking an angel food cake from scratch, and vacuuming the whole house as well as laundry and dishes. Plus I made a picnic supper which we had at "Hidden Lake" with the kids getting turns on the dirt bike and Dan taking a few adult style spins. That was apparently a bit too much excitement and so the next two days I could not really function at all. I finally went to the Dr. and thanks to Nasonex am enjoying a constant slimy feeling in the back of my throat which convulsive swallowing does not help at all. However, occasionally I can feel my ears crackling again. I guess they were completely blocked. Heidi has been enjoying this same journey with me with the addition of wheezing in her chest that had the Dr. mention the asthma word. Oh great. I thought that was something the new house was supposed to keep at bay. However, weekly forest fires probably don't help either.
Our internet cable is buried and the land smoothed up to the house (from the barn) and none too soon as Seth has been going crazy on the dirt bike and it was a near thing several times as he tended to forget about the existence of the overground cable. That could have been bad. We also now have a nice smooth "front lawn" thanks to Dan's Bobcat finesse and I have all sorts of energy rich ideas for landscaping. That is the problem as usual - where to start?
Now that a website is a real possibility I would love to practice with a personal one before attempting a professional one. Both are big projects at least the way that I do things. When it is raining like today I could go nuts but I hate to start something that I will not get back to for several months if ever. Especially if I forget to do more important things as a result. So I'll let it simmer and see how the day goes. The rest of the week is very busy with both my jobs and that is likely to continue for the month. The Waskesiu weekend with my whole family is coming up very quickly and I have no idea if we even own a tent. Not to mention that most of our camping stuff spent the winter in the barn and the cats seem to have peed on everything of value in that structure. They are really the most unhygienic, disgustingly dirty animals I have ever encountered. But they kill mice. And birds, and squirrels and the occasional rabbit. Again, evidence in the barn. There's a really pressing project, to completely clean that out and put absolutely everything in it on the wall somehow.
I wrote a poem last week for the first time in a very long time! For Dan's birthday. I wasn't sure if that part of my brain had completely atrophied but it's still there in the background. Waiting for retirement, most likely.
Well, anyway, it's been lovely blogging but I do need to get on with my day. In some direction or other.
