Today's Writing EffortJames asked me to do animal chores for him because he had an early meeting with Tahara and her friend Jay, who is an electrician and who is going to do us a solid by taking on our tiny lighting job for the remodeling of Sappho's room ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortI didn't have animal chores today, but I did have to clean the rabbitry. And I had to do partial animal chores anyway, because Jenny didn't swap out the frozen water bottles, and she didn't give the bunnies hay hay. *Le Sigh* This is part of the reason why I feel like I can never go on a trip. I always feel like things get ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortTahara came over to help James with Sappho's room some more. But we never got part of the bed in the mail, as far as I know, so progress is kind of stalled. I told James to contact the seller even though it's been a hot minute since he ordered it. It's better than nothing ( Read more... )

I tried picking the seam apart on the ear warmer that I'm making for Bastion, but I got frustrated and used the scissors ... in the wrong spot ... and then I had to frog the whole thing and start over ... again. I've never had to do this so many times for a project. It's a dang ear warmer for pete's sake ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortI did animal chores today for Jenny since she and Sappho are still in Minneapolis until tomorrow. Then I went to town to get groceries, animal feed, and cat food. Bastion showed up just before I took off for town and tried on his ear warmer. It's too big. Not too wide, but it was just too long when I sewed it together. So ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortJenny and Sappho left for Minneapolis at like 4:00 am, which is obscenely early if you ask me. I unloaded the feed from the Mini and gassed up the truck so that if we have to plow again, we don't run out of fuel. Around sunset, I was going to go pick up the mail, when James came alone and was feeling frisky. So, I was a ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortI felt a little better today. It was the six-week mark after breaking my toe. It still hurts a little bit, but I'm done buddy taping it and that's that ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortSecond verse, same as the first. James is still sick and so is Sappho. Jenny says she's not sick, which is a miracle since she's been taking care of a sick 4-year-old for the last week. I did animal chores for James, but Jenny says I don't need to do them for her tomorrow. Part of me thinks she's just looking for a reason ( Read more... )

So winter is finally really here. We're in the middle of a winter storm and have gotten perhaps 2-3 inches in the last couple of days. I checked How Much Will It Snow, but they don't have data for today yet ( Read more... )

Today's Writing EffortToday was a busy day. After morning chores, I had to do a dump run because of the holidays and the truck being stuck at Kitty's house for a few days. Once we miss one trash day, it's either do a dump run or try to squeeze in extra bags of trash into the bins for the next few weeks until it's all gone. Guess which one I ( Read more... )
