I have nothing interesting to tell you about so here:
Health: still iffy but somewhat less so following some minor surgery and lots more drugs
Job: doesn't exist in the summer, but my last paycheck deposited last week. I like money.
Children: all home for two weeks until camp starts and they are going to SO MUCH CAMP
Plant habit: still going strong (a bay-leaf shrub, a particular rugosa rose, a penstemon and... something... are the latest acquisitions). I've also started propagating stuff from cuttings, so there's a wee nursery going by the side of the house. It's quite satisfying. Some of them, I've forgotten what they are, so it's also an exciting mystery...
Spouse: is in exceedingly poor humor lately despite getting a paper published and being awarded not one but two grants, which come with a virtual guarantee of tenure. I don't even know.
Travel: I am taking the children to the Land Of Cheese And Sausage in three weeks, to visit mostly N. and maybe see a few other mom-friends (the ones I do actually like, though not enough to go 900 miles only to see them).
Children: did I mention they're ALL home? Three kids is still a lot of kids.
Let's hear it for slightly less iffy health! What more can you ask!
ReplyDeleteI went away right after putting my garden in (you know, the post frost plants) and slugs ate everything. No worries about too many green beans this year, I reckon!
All the kids: Can you make the older two do chores at least? I'm teaching mine to weed...
I conned them into thinking Vacuum And Wipe Down The Van was an exciting family activity last week. Right now we're doing Cleaning And Furniture Moving! But 5 year olds seem to come with a side of constant whining. Hey though! Camp starts MONDAY!
