Okay, I don't know why Tears For Fears songs are present in my brain band frequently, but they really are easy to do a bit of wordsmithing with! Anyway, I have somehow lost a week of my life, I can't believe it is Friday! Actually, I can, but my belief is probably just suspended because it's also the first day since Monday that I haven't had a fever. Much elation going on around here right now!
I mean, I even got to take the trash out today! I know that is a weird thing to be excited about, but when you are really sick, just a bit of chore normalcy is good restorative soul balm.
Today, aside from dissecting the entire human brain in 3D, I also gave the onion seedlings their second haircut. They are growing like weeds! Yes, that is a probably overused saying but to be fair my brain has been thoroughly cooked and most totally over broiled. I feel like I should maybe be okay with a pass this week.
Back to the onions, they are coming along nicely, so much so that it smelled like sour cream and onion chips when I snipped them back. We have had some glorious, warm sun the past couple of days and the onions, in their rolling plastic card starting house home, really have enjoyed those growth inducing rays.
Another fine development is the pepper seeds are finally starting to sprout. They tend to take forever, but when I checked them this afternoon I was excited by their progress. The Anaheim's cotyledons are almost ready to do their opening thing, which means I need to get off of my flintlocks and plunk those little sprouts into some soil. I will most likely get to it tomorrow, as I am not behind on my flower starting and need to tend to that as well. I detest the catch up flurry that happens on the other side of major illness. It's putrid.
But, I will gladly play catchup and be thankful that's the state I am in. The hubs and I also need to repair the hoophouse. We didn't get the supports in before the snow came so we have more of a sploosh house right now, the cattle panels be sagging a bit. The supports are in the hoophouse on the ground though, so the hubs and I will go out with some two by fours, do a bit of coordinated lifting, and square that space away. Which needs to happen stat because I want to get some radishes and spinach in. It's early spring, I want all the greens and cold weather things!
But for now, now it is time for me to head back into a bit of restorative repose. Just the little bit that I have done today has wiped me right out. I'm so looking forward to being back in full Kat action, convalescing is not the kitten's mittens for sure.
