Got my garden in this morning -- the herbs, tomatoes and peppers, at least. Might add more, but that was enough work for now. I have to wash the car later. I have butter coming to room temp for banana bread baking this afternoon.

Good Afternoon Kids! I did make it to church on time this morning, but didn't sleep well last night, in spite of getting to bed early. I could live nicely without the time change. Just keep it the same as it is in Summer.

Wow. I slept until 5pm today! You'd think I'd be all invigorated. Maybe if I'd taken my meds, to stay awake. But I prefer not to take anything when I don't have to. I like to let my body get back to a natural feeling again. I'm going to make a tuna casserole tonight, to take for lunch tomorrow. I'm going to make meatloaf tomorrow, for dinner, I think. I need to get some more laundry done. I've been slacking, when it comes to doing chores at home. I'm good helping others, but not so much on my own.
Have a good week!

Not a good start to the week. The sandman forgot to pay me a visit last night but the insomnia man parked himself right next to me.

Ouch, Sharon! Back when I was working full-time, Sunday night insomnia was sort of a regular thing with me. I don't think the changing of the clocks helps any, either. Good Morning Kids! The weathernerds fibbed once again. Our snow arrived early, and it looks like we're getting a lot more than we were forecast. (We were originally forecast 7/10 of an inch, but we're already well past that.) My dermatologist cancelled today, due to a family emergency. While I can't get another appointment for a month, it's not all bad. Driving in today's fresh snow over ice would NOT be fun.

We ended up getting about 3 or 4 inches of new snow today. But, it's March, which means the melt will go quickly. In fact, it's still 37 degrees right now, and I'm watching water drip off the roof. Tomorrow should be awesome, as we're supposed to get into the 50's.

I got paid to work in the yard this afternoon. I was planting my raspberry bushes and raked some debris aside and there was a dollar bill.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's melting, melting, and I'm loving every minute of it. We'll see how much snow we have by the end of the week. Even the end of the day...

Amazingly, we're still at 44 degrees. The melting continues, and I can actually see grass underneath our biggest tree out front. However, the snowbanks are higher than hip high near the street, so it'll be interesting to see how many days it takes for all of that snow to disappear. And, I can't wait!

Hopefully, you'll get long periods of time that are above freezing, so the big piles can melt quickly.

The only snow I have left is the pile from the sidewalk from front door to driveway. It gets piled with some snow from the driveway. The pile is getting smaller every day.

I got a hair cut yesterday for the first time in almost 7 months. Normally I get a hair cut about every 5 weeks. It feels good to look like myself again.

Good Afternoon Kids! Our landline telephone service went out on us sometime yesterday afternoon. The annoying part is, I was expecting an important call, & didn't realize the phone was out of service until after 4 pm. I did get a call in for service, but have to wait all day for the guy to get here. Most likely the quick melt here is putting too much water into the ground. All utility lines are buried here. Occasionally, after a big rainstorm, we have problems. I'm hoping they get everything up & running by the end of the day. At least both DH & I own cell phones.

Well, there was no good news from the telephone company today. They tried to fix things, but although calls can now come through, there is still a loud, distracting & annoying "hum" in the line. The phone company apparently did a bunch of layoffs last Fall, so it'll be at least a week before my phone works properly again, as the problem appears to be water in the line. (Good guess on my part, but still annoying.)

(Good guess on my part, but still annoying.) Ugh! I would be REALLY annoyed by this! I'm glad your service is somewhat working again. But... Are they giving you a credit for the number of days your service is not working 'properly'? It's not your fault their service isn't working properly. You shouldn't have to pay for poor/nonworking service. I'd be "happy" to pay, as soon as the service works correctly, again. So if they expect you to pay, they need to fix their problem(s). The sooner they fix it, the sooner you will pay again. It's their service = their problem, not yours. I'm preaching to the choir, probably. Good luck!

Good Afternoon Kids! I posted earlier today, but apparently the internet ate my post. Oh well... I do plan to ask the phone company to take some money off of my bill, since I'll have to go for so long without being able to use my phone. We woke up to sunny skies this morning, but we're a bit overcast now. Still, it's 44 degrees, and the snow is still melting. So, no complaints about that.

I am alive and have tea! This morning I managed to hit the bad elbow on the towel bar in the bathroom while brushing my hair. That was a jolt to the system. I also tried jeans but the knee was not happy so back to cozy pants for now. I have my taxes being done tonight so fingers crossed that things are OK. I don't expect much more than that.

Been a week, I tell ya. Actually, I am pooped. It's been a day. Started with kickboxing at 6 a.m. and ended with a batch of cookies for DH and I dusted furniture while they baked. Worked, spread new mulch and got my car in for 50K service in between.

It's been a long week here, too. Productive in some ways, annoying in others. DD came over tonight to try a new recipe for chicken noodle soup, and it was delicious.

This has been a week. The furnace I thought I was going to get won't be available until who knows when, so the furnace company changed brands on me. The installer manager was ticked that they did that without consulting him. The size of the furnace is different and he wasn't sure that it would fit in the closet where the furnace resides. I'm mad at the sales guy also since I know nothing about this furnace, other than it is supposed to be high efficiency. He hasn't sent me any of the specs etc. The sales guy wouldn't come out to my house on Thursday with the installer guy, pretty sure he knew everyone was mad at him. If all goes according to plan, which would surprise me at this point, I will get my new furnace next Friday. The irrigation guys came out on Tuesday and started rebuilding the pasture irrigation system. Tuesday evening my neighbor stopped by and asked if I knew that water was spraying all over my pasture. This tank that sits next to the well head had broken off from the pipe and water was spraying all over the place. I turned the breaker off which stopped the flow of water. I called the irrigation guy and left a message, he showed up Thursday and fixed the tank thing. He is supposed to be back today to install the controller for the pasture and a separate one for the yard. Then he will fix any broken lines and broken sprinkler heads. DD and the kids are supposed to come over today but not sure when. It is supposed to rain today so not sure if we will be able to get a good day of yard work done. It's my turn to provide dinner this week so we are having chicken chunks, mac and cheese, peas and gingerbread cake for dessert. Totally a kid friendly meal and easy to do the prep work ahead of time.
