(Sorry 'bout the title. Couldn't think of anything else...I do want to lay in it, so maybe it's appropriate. I could do with some extra zzzzzs for sure.)
Song of the day: “If you want to leave me (can I come too)” by Bryan Adams. Always makes me laugh, this song.
So what’s been going on…the moment I wonder about it, every single event of the past couple of days slips from my mind. *sigh*
Oh yeah. My bed is as good as ready. Yay! It is downright beautiful…albeit not my personal style at all. Seriously, I am definitely a “real wood” chick, but this is…well, it’s quaint, I guess. Pastel colored panels, like a pedestal underneath a light wood box. I have made pictures, and just as soon as I feel like cheating again, I will post them.
All in all I am pleased with the end result (despite the fact that it is not my usual style) since it basically turned out the way I’d imagined it inside my head. Sure, I hadn’t thought of the exact details but the overall image is there, with only a few hiccups along that way that had to be fixed.
Not bad.
What else? Not a clue…wait, wait…yeah, there’s something. Right. Gardening. There was quite a bit of that. Mostly transplants going on. Seedlings that needed to be put in pots and small plants that could be set in the wild.
The melons were big enough to go into pots. Same goes for the new lettuces, which are still tiny (one inch at most) and so on and on. The tomatoes are rapidly growing. In particular the ones in the greenhouse, which have big clusters of tomatoes swelling gradually.
I did have to replant a zucchini because it didn’t stand the storm (which past, btw) and one of the smaller cauliflowers that I planted the other day, also gave the spirit. This one for reasons unknown.
Snuck a bit of a couple of young carrots while we were at it, and they were absolutely delicious. Seriously, carrots from the shop aren’t that sweet and herby.
Mosha is doing reasonably well. At least she is her usual nervous self coming in my pursuit and screaming when she can’t. I do have to be careful not to let the whole mess get to me, for there are times when I look at her and can’t imagine her not being there anymore without bursting into tears. On the most part her butt annoys her, I think, rather than hurt her. Though pooing appears to be a problem.
Knight II’s tail is doing pretty good, as long as he keeps from licking it. I had to put a bandage on again yesterday, because his healing skin just can’t compete with his big tongue. Jeez, he’ll lick his way to the bone, if I let him. Idiot! *sigh*
Dax’s ear is okay, I think. There’s a crust there, and since he can’t really reach it, it is gradually healing. I clean it once a day and keep an eye on it, but I no longer need to bandage him up every day.
Oh my Gawd, almost forgot. The ticks. They are BACK!!! Aaaargh. Seriously, I am plucking them off the dogs 24/7 again, and they’re driving me insane. They’re small, big, tiny and huge. *insert another aaaargh*
Luckily, the weather is absolutely splendid. Heck, today it is actually hot, hitting the high eighties, maybe the low nineties. Gawd this is going to take some getting used to again. Summer always is.
Yesterday’s lunch were veggie burgers made of old chili mixed with potatoes. It was rather tasty actually, and saw me through the majority of the day.
We got a big batch of earth, seeing as we’re going to need lots of it once we start on the foundation of the house for real. Later today or tomorrow, that is the plan at least. We’ll have to see. But anyway, the soil that we got is good, solid clay, which will have plants grow well once the levels are there and we plant them.
I’m definitely leaning towards the scented kinds, colorful ones as well.
The edit is still going, though not as fast as I would like it to go. The letter is shaping up nicely, though and soon we’ll be able to start sending it out, just to see what the responses are.
Personally I’m enjoying the read. I love the leads. Their sense of humor, and their compatibility. I’m going to have to look for beta readers soon again.
No writing on the new story for the Life series, but there will be time for that later on…I hope anyway.
Well, it is just about time for me to get started on other stuff rather than this wonderful blogging in the shade.
