\"Picture<\/a>Today was one of those days that aren’t too bad\u00a0 if you can ignore the constant ringing in the ears.\u00a0 Yesterday, I managed to catch up on a lot of data entry and finished a project.\u00a0 So, that meant today I could try to get some reading in — the truth is if you don’t make time for reading it’s difficult to write reviews.\u00a0 So, reading is nice especially when the temps are a bit nicer and the living room isn’t an ice box — which means I get to curl up on my reading chair instead of having to sit in my office chair at the dining room table (because it’s the warmest room in the house in cold weather).\u00a0 Managed to read a whole book today.<\/p>\n

Luckily, I also managed a load of wash, feeding the birds, feeding the cats, and sweeping the floors — all of them.\u00a0 Good thing I then sat to read because the sweeping nearly did in the back.\u00a0 I stopped before the cramping twitches turned evil.<\/p>\n

Managed to clear up some paper messes in the dining room\/office.\u00a0 Read some more.\u00a0 Finally took a break just before Hyperion got home and went out and raked some leaves.\u00a0 Really, you’d think trees would clean up after themselves or at the very least crumble into dirt in the spring so no one has to rake them all up — again to get the garden area ready.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’ve got start seeds on my TODO list.\u00a0 Hope to get to it because it’s March already.\u00a0 Time to plan the garden and get it all cleared of leaves and weeds and crap so we can get things ready for planting in a month. I’m really looking forward to getting the garden in.<\/p>\n

My problem is that I’m either to eager to start and everything is leggy by the time it’s nice enough to put them in the ground or I wait until it’s way too late to even start and we end up just buying a few plants (tomatos, peppers, cucumbers) and planting lettuce so we at least have salad stuff during the summer.<\/p>\n

Spring is the time of year when hope springs eternal that dreams will come true — that the garden will grow vegetables and the weeds won’t even think of poking a leaf out of the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
