Seen my camera?
That's still missing, but after another bout of
Exorcist style sickness last night combined with much car drama, today was a
much better day. E didn't have to be at work till 10:30, and then he even got to
leave early, so he picked up D and they brought over the bees and went over the
house with landlord J. He's gotten so odd - but was happy enough with the way
the house looked - good thing with all the work we put into it! That place looks
so much better then when we moved in a year ago.
Shotzee - one of the outside cats we
"inherited" - now named Kiwi/Old Testament/Starsky (we haven't agreed on one
yet) is still here, curled up in her straw filled box. She came running over as
soon as I filled the food dish, but who knows where her son went too. He came to
the sliding doors the night we moved in, I fed both of them, but he's been
nowhere to be seen since. He can also run out of sight a lot faster when he
hears me coming, so he might still be around.
I finally felt calm enough to enjoy
the scenery today when I went out to feed and water the chooks - no eggs since
the move, but can you blame them? So much stress for already nervous birds!
Their egg production should pick up as we move away from the Solstice, even if
we don't get artificial lighting out there again till next winter. The corn
fields just look so nice this time of year - love all that space! We have a few
neighbors, but corn fields surround us on most sides. Our land is just rough
mown hay, cut short, with a more "manicured" lawn area around the house and by
the dirveway.
I had E and D move the
last boxes into the living room - on the far end of the house - ahhh, so much
better. I think we're going to set up the tree tonight - move on from this move
already!!! Maybe even a fire?? We just need to start fresh - we've been so
wrapped up in moving, packing, scheduling - Gah! Neither of us has even thought
about the holidays, really. I don't even have E's presents yet... I think I'll
have E help me with macaroons tonight - then I'll at least have cookies made if
I feel well enough for the cookie exchange.
