I’m sick today.

And that sucks. I hate being sick, I’m not good at it. I get very grumpy. Especially when it’s a gross sinus thing that makes my face feel too big and makes my teeth ache. Headache, sore skin, chills and mild lightheadedness. Sinus zombie.

It wasnt nice out today, either. The morning was okay, but the afternoon was drizzle and sleet and sideways-snow. Windy and damp and just ick.

Husband took the van today, so I didnt have to get up as early, which was nice. He also filled all the water bottles before he left so I wouldnt have to.

I just had the toilet and the barn chores to do, and the basic housework/cooking/kiddo stuff that I usually have.

I contacted a fella about the stovepipe today, too. We’re still going to have to do it ourselves, but he has supplied good advice and guidance. We’ll take another look at it this weekend.

The other thing I did today was done a tiny bit defiantly. It most certainly doesnt feel like garden season yet, but I had two plastic cases that once contained muffins. They are now tiny greenhouses containing arugula and milkweed seeds. Both like a period of cold stratification, so they are simply outdoors. I have no fridge, but I do have the whole of outside.

Planting seeds is always an act of faith. It is entirely out of our hands what happens after that. We plant them, we hope, and we wait to see what happens.

In the meantime, I shall have to eat more muffins.
