Another Alien Baby Update, and things
Ok, so, the alien baby thing is progressing right along.... I now have a firm date for surgery, Nov 1st. I will be out from work for 6wks on short term disability/ FMLA. However, I have planned vacation starting the week after FMLA ends, and then the week after that is Christmas break, so, gone for the rest of the year. Which is ok, I'll probably appreciate the time.
The down side is that Christmas Revel, an event I usually go to every year, is unlikely for me this year, and so is driving to Mom and Dad's for break. I have invited Mom and Dad down for break, but no telling how that's going to go - Christmas is a pretty busy season.
Last weekend, I got a recliner, and shopped in-person and online for a few things to make it easier to recover. Recliner is in the house, most everything is set up, and the last thing to come in.... is the body pillow pillow-case. Why Wally-world doesn't sell body pillow-cases when they sell the body *pillows*, I'll never know....
Also! final roof thing is DONE, It's OVER! Everything is good and paid off and ok, except for the small loan I had to take out to cover my part of the roof. But that I can/ will pay off on my own time.
So next things I really want to finish before November 1st are sewing at the machine, oiling the wood chair, and putting water-seal on the boards i'm going to be using as my floor-joists when I camp.
Everything I want/ need to do in the yard completely depends on the weather, and it's been raining so much here that 'swampy' is the only way to properly describe ground conditions. And because of that, I've decided to move building the second garden box until after the new year. The ground will probably be drier by then (ok, *hopefully* drier by then) and I can drive out there with my truck to set the box up. Which is really the only way to get the sides out there when they're built with plasti-board, which is much heavier than straight wood. (The advantage being that plasti-board won't rot in 2 years....)
And I've decided on this year's Hallowe'en Prompt Theme Pics.... ALIENS, because what else could I do? But chibi-style aliens, because CUTE! ahem. :)
Feeling less stressed, and taking things 1 day at a time,
