...a little sad.
Its offically 30 days...some might argue there is still 13 hours to go, but its close enough. Life does indeed go on, but that doesn't stop you from thinking from time to time of that life that had been so much a part of your life. Most everything has been 'normal' for us...except Barak...Not that he is exhibiting any signs of illness or anything like that, just his...well not sure how to describe it...Granted its spring and his hormones are acting up...but sometimes he is very clingy, won't leave my side for anything, other times he won't even go outside with me. Have to actually pick him up and carry him out but even then he doesn't want to be outside. Other times he's just fine with going out and running around.
The weather has been really nice the last few weeks...a little hot a few times, finally broke down and turned the air on May 1st...April 28-30 was just so hot during the days...and May 1st was no exception...but I just couldn't handle sweating while doing nothing.
My younger brother decided he wanted to try a garden this year, and 'we' worked in the backyard for a bit, setting up his posts to make the 'green house' to keep the birds and squirrels out of it. Going to be about 8'x15'...Not a lot of room in the back yard so that is a huge area...*laugh* He likes to buy his plants, I like to grow them from seeds...I started 8 tomato, 8 green bean, 4 pickling cucumbers, 8 iceburg lettace and 4 cantalope...though the lettace I am going to try in a different spot...they've never done well, and I think it is just the heat of Indiana...but there is a space on the east side of the house that only gets sun in the early morning hours, and by 11 its shaded pretty much the rest of the day so I am hoping that will give it the cooler temp. to do better. If not, no more tries here.
Now that I have my computer back, I've been trying to get back into gaming and stuff, but its pretty hard...Most of the newer games cause it to reboot and that gets OLD real quick. Been trying to work with my chainmail a bit, but my eyes seem to be betraying me...I guess I need bifocals...At a range far enough for me to see them with glasses on, its hard to be sure I got the closures right and close enough to see them with glasses off slows me down so much its almost moot...guess it is time to save up for new glasses. *laugh* I have really been wanting to learn this weave called Elf sheet, someone posted some pics of a piece they are making using it and it really put a bug in my ear...its quite cool looking, but either my brain is not wrapping around it very well, or my fingers are just being too stubborn, not sure which.
I've been trying to write again...but I just can't seem to stay with anything for longer then an hour if that...So many hobbies and just can't get excited enough about any of them to really go to town with it.
Barak was real problem a week after Sissy passed...feeding wise...He absolutely did not want the normal dog food...even went so far as one day to pee all over it. If that isn't a statement I don't know what is. Right now we're feeding him a combo...some pedigree dry dog food with a can of mighty dog...seems to really love it. Beneful has a new product out...it comes in a small single serving tub, it is a moist dog food and I really like what I have read about it, but Indiana is not one of their states they are selling it in...and of all the places online that does sale it that will ship it to us, it would cost over $80 a month to feed him. Not saying he isn't worth it, but that's a HUGE chunk of our budget...when we were considering our options I told Cathy I wouldn't have a problem going up to 2x what we were spending on food for both of them a month, but that would be 4x...Kind of goes along with my rant on the price of healthy food from some time back.
Hope everyone is doing well! Take care, and God Bless!
