What's going on in your life?

[pink]

I know we tend to keep our lives off the board but you can tell us little things. What is keeping you busy these days?


Me...I have been working a lot, trying not to get burnt out. Sometimes, I feel like all I have been doing is working and sleeping lately.

I go pick up Jennifer tomorrow. She will be home for Easter for a couple of days.

The animals keep me sane. I don't know what I would do without them. Their unconditional love keeps me from feeling alone.


What's going on in your life????

It is time to begin gardening. I planted peas, snow peas, snap peas, lettuce, romaine, iceburg and spinach last week.

This week I plan to put up the anti-rabbit fence and anti-deer fence and to shoot the groundhog living behind the garden.

Next week our new fruit trees go in. 2 more tart cherries and 2 more apples.

We planted the second Asparagus row two weeks ago and added 4 blueberry bushes to that part of the garden.

I'd add grapes to the grape vine section, but they're still dormant so I don't know if I lost any (and no space is left for new ones).

So - that's it. Planning the year's gardening projects.

I also plan to add a hedge of red-twig dogwood but I need to clear out some shite-trees first (alanthus) and till the soil.

I've been so sick I've missed 2 and a half days of work.

Since I prefer to spread my germs and work through the sickness, this is new to me.

Just trying to balance life/work/social.

Keeping my sister out of jail was last week's priority, this week is trying to keep my kids busy on Spring break.

I have a few interviews for a job I promised myself I'd never do. So. Yeah, just normal stuff.

Harvesting blueberries, the green beans and tomatoes are blooming, and the onions are forming nice bulbs. The peach trees oughta be putting on leaves very soon. Gotta plant 50 corn plants, theyre about ready to go in the ground.

Found a few green bean pods this morning, and the first peach buds opened.

well i've just had norovirus, so i'll spare you the details of my life in the last week.
working hard. still enjoying the job but hating all the new restructuring, which just seems to be making everyone's lives harder.
studying hard. trying to wrap my head around science, getting ok grades so far.
trying to figure out where all the little bruises come from. seriously. wtf?
not getting out enough. between work, study & housework there doesn't seem to be a lot of free time.
watching my kids grow up. one of them starts college in september! the other is zooming his way through shoes, trousers and karate belts.
apparently, periodically, completely loosing my marbles due to the insecurity of a situation beyond my control. having moments where i suddenly don't recognise myself for the laid back, accepting person i know myself to be.
trying to repair this goddamn washing machine. it's turning into a bit of a saga but the longer it goes on the more stubborn i feel. it's war!
losing weight. i'm not sure why.

Dealing with the end of an era. Life just goes on though. There is always laundry to be done and dishes to wash. My dad was an avid gardner. Lawn the most beautiful in the area. He is gone 2 years and it is all gone to hell. What's the point?

I have been trying to save CPR manneguins over and over again. Hoping to make a few people feel better. Loving the kids. They are growing up too fast.

Even though there is still 3' of snow covering the garden, snowmobiling season is about over...maybe just a few more miles this weekend.
Work is slow as molasses.
I'm concentrating on furniture building even though I should be finishing building a laundry room and bathroom in the house.
Really can't wait to get planting the garden and get the boat in the water for a bit of fishing...pretty much a waiting game this time of year.

 

[KRCummings]

Same as always. Pretty much nothing.

Hell of a way to spend your retirement years

Hell of a way to spend your retirement years

Is there a better way? No job, kids are old enough to not need watching 24/7, got like a thousand channels on the tv and a fios internet connection with a Netflix account a Wii and an Xbox along with a pretty nice set of golf clubs and a membership at CC's in two states. My whole life is now just a big ball of doing nothing substantial and that's exactly how it should be.

I agree that watching tv is doing pretty much nothing, golf is a little something, even if it is just wacking a little ball and chasing it across a cow pasture to wack it again

I'm hoping and waiting for three pieces of good news today, fingers crossed people! Some prayers and good vibes couldn't hurt either. ;-)

The last one left turned 17 a few months ago and I've been in countdown to 18 every since. I'm already panicking a bit and sad. I can't imagine if she moves out - we're so close. She has another year of high school ahead of her and then is going to a local University, living at home at least the first two years to save money. At least that's the plan. Thankfully she still loves and adores us just as much. None of that typical teenage girl - family angst.

I need a trip to the hobby store to pick up ribbon so that I can finally finish sewing our bedroom curtains. I'm hoping that by next month I'll have picked out, and up, paint to paint our bedside tables and to make a headboard, thus finishing up what we started months ago.

Since we bought this house we've talked about planting a small veggie garden. Not something that we can do yet since it's still snowing and freezing cold, maybe in a few weeks though.

Oh, and today is my 4 year wedding anniversary. Guess I'll make dinner tonight. heh

Good luck jinx.

Good luck jinx.

Sitting...rotting...still contemplating suck starting a fuckin' 12ga...no worries though I'll get the balls for it sooner or later and you can all be BB free on the Gee Bee.

 

[Laurel]

Too much! I need an extra hour for every hour. But it's all good.

That really doesn't sound good...get help if you are at all serious about this

Shit I wish I was serious....too much of a pussy to do it so far....*shrugs*

Eventually I'll get sick and tried enough of being sick and tired ..or most of my family will die off, then it won't be much of a problem . Which is odd b/c I never fuckin' talk to them anyhow....hmmm

Every time someone asks what I do and I tell them I'm retired, it feels like Christmas all over again. I never get tired of saying it.
