What are you doing?

Apparently I am DH's travel agent. His aunt died, and he couldn't figure out how to book his flight to PA. Well, he could, but didn't want to. OK. Better to book it for him than listen to him gripe about it. Yes, I'm an enabler. Apparently I booked him into the wrong airport. Tough noogies. You get what you get.

And I got the tax file out of the file cabinet. I've GOT to do them in the next couple days!

Gee Dawg. We folks in Massachusetts have until April 16th to file. Even though the Marathon is on the 15 of the month, that is not the reason for the extra day. It is a legal holiday here. The start of the Revolution War. We still have a distant relative repeat Paul Revere's ride. And a few other activities.

There used to be a plague showing where Paul began his ride. I had a friend here visiting from Texas. We were doing the Freedom Trail and I mentioned the story of PR. Poo was about five then and piped up when he heard me tell the story. "Gee Mommy, did you see him start on his ride?" "Of course son, I pack a lunch for him to take in case he got hungry, and Auntie Lorraine slapped the backside of the horse to get him started on his long ride." When he was about nine, he finally figured out that I fibbed. Well, it was either tell him a fib, or kill that dang kid for thinking I was that old.

Cute story, Addie...

Don't forget to slip a snack into his suitcase!

Having my morning coffee so I can wake up and do my taxes.

Taking advantage of that extra day Andy?

We have until the 18th this year but why wait until the last minute.

Thanks for the reminder, AB! Hm. This could be like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I think I WILL stick the vile things in his suitcase. Then he can gift them to someone in his PA Dutch/German family who won't know what to do with them either. Maybe they could fold them into scrapple, or make rivels out of them.

We have spent Monday at the doctors office and today at the eye doctor, she has gotten a bad infection in her eye due to gravel in her eye, it as last getting better.

Happiness and joy - not. Are you having to put drops in her eye, or are they doing the oral route? Hope they were able to wash the gravel out.

I just looked at the calendar. I should do that more often. IRS is getting generous with us this year. Because I always had a refund coming, as soon as I had my 1099 in hand, I filed.

Eye drops with antibiotics, not a happy kid, because it stings but we can now see her blue eyes and it is clearing up. Just two more check up and then we get to know if anything serious has happen.
They had to use a Q tip like thingy to get it out and a rinse.

Bought 25 more chicks. Wife threatened to divorce me lol. Jokeingly. 25 broilers are going to to butcher tomorrow so I got 25 new ones. They will be done before we go on vacation. This is the last batch I will get for the year. Especally if the goose hatches out a bunch of eggs. Shes been sitting almost 3 weeks now.

Put a new seat in the excavator but they forgot to send the new mounting brackets so Thats in our way until we get them. Its big but looks huge in the shop.

That looks huge and so does your shop.

I'm checking out DC and FaceBook and stuff on my tablet while I wait for the power to come back. The power company told us last week that it would be out for repairs today. It should be back in about an hour and a half, around 16h00. Since we don't have gas here, we bought a "Thunder Range". That's a single burner cooker that uses butane. I used it to make coffee in the little mocka maker.

Well, I didn't quite get all the trim into the shadowbox. When I went to dry fit the trim a couple days ago (before I stained it), apparently I'd left a piece stuck in the box and didn't discover it until I went to put in my finished trim yesterday. Thing is, I had all the required pieces of finished trim. How did that happen? I'll tell you how. I stained and varnished (3 times!) a scrap piece of trim I had miscut and should have thrown out.

Some days I hate miniatures.

What a busy day I have had. Went to see my rheumatologist and she filled four fingers with cortisone. So much so, that on one finger it started to leak out. Once again I can make a good solid fist. Then came home and made arrangements for my yearly financial info with the Manager for next years rent adjustment. I gave her my financial information last week. Now all I have to do is sign a new lease for the rent increase. Then I have to fix something to eat. I am starving. Looks like leftover American Chop Suey.

Then I have to update my calendar for more medical appointments. I blew off my heart specialist three times last year. Also have to make an appointment with my artery specialist. I try to get all my appointments in during Spring and Fall. Summer is too hot and Winter to cold. I have been feeling so good, no chest pains, that I get cocky and feel like I don't need them anymore. Wrong attitude. I will always need them. And I know that! I am overdue for my Echograms. Not my favorite tests to have done. I am also overdue for my MRI for my heart.

Right now I need a nap, but don't have the time. I am trying to eat while typing. It is not working out very well.

I am enjoying the smells in my kitchen. I have a pot of Mom's Ham and Bean soup simmering on the stove and five chicken breasts cooking in a spicy BBQ sauce in the slow cooker...and neither of those meals are for tonight. We have to wait until tomorrow for the soup, and the chicken gets shredded and goes into the freezer for sandwiches or tacos in the future.

I guess I'd better get tonight's supper going before it's tomorrow! At least we'd be able to have the soup by then.

I whapped off a bunch of dead stuff in another couple gardens. Beautiful day here. As is my wont, I'm a bit scratched up by the dead stuff. We have too many gardens.

More whapping to go. Shade garden is next.
