It's true and you can verify it. It's been a while since my last blog post. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been stuff going on.
Cookie, my sick cat, passed away. I've been sad about that. She was a good cat who actually liked me. Unlike Parker, my other cat who bites me and swats at me with enough force to nearly break a bone. Maybe someday I'll get a cat who will like me, but it won't be for a while.
I've begun patching my driveway. I do this every year as the driveway is old and very long and patching is all I can afford. I wanted to use blacktop patch but I sent Dad to get the stuff and his penny-pinching nature steered him toward concrete mix. So, more work for me, but more material to use.
Ezra and Henry, my guinea pigs, are giving me a lot of laundry to do. I use fleece to line their cage and I'm doing laundry essentially every other day. But they are adorable and I love them. They make a great diet aid because they shriek every time I open the refrigerator like an alarm. A great deterrent to snacking.
I've been trying to clean up some of the pasture. It's gotten overgrown since I rehomed my two goats a few years ago. So, the weed trimmer and push mower have been doing the job this summer. I haven't made a lot of progress but I've made some. The really thick blackberry vines can't be mowed or whacked.
My garden is doing very well. I have many tomatoes and unfortunately, the acid is upsetting Dad's stomach so I can't give him any. I'll take him some anyway. He can give them to my sister.
Finally, I'm irritated by my carpool co-worker. I don't really want to get into it as I'd rather get over it.
That's me, all caught up. Winnie, my 16 year old chihuahua, has been having some arthritis issues so she's getting a supplement. I finished the work on the front porch and I've put a folding chair out there. I'm hoping to actually sit out there at least once.
And now, I'm caught up. Maybe.
