I hope you get quick diag and relief.

Work isn't opening its doors until 10 at the soonest. I didn't pick up the laptop because 1) DENIAL and 2) I was supposed to start swapping machines today, so needed a clean backup. There's a lot more snow out there than I expected.

At this point, I'm not going to even try hard. My only true goal shall be to make half-price margarita night tonight. I'm so fucking over winter.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Congrats, Brenda!

I hope your hip feels better soon, Typo Boy.

We had just enough freezing drizzle to make things treacherous but not enough to close anything. It's supposed to be on and off rain and low-30s all day, dipping lower after sunset. So tonight I'm expecting a glorious display of amateur drunks on ice. A good night to stay in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo, brenda! Exciting!

Jesse, we are doing gardening this year using minifarm box

Ooh, that looks perfect. My problem is, I look at that and think I could make a box myself for less $$ than that. Would I ever? Odds are slim. Would it actually be cheaper? I have no idea. Due to the fact that I have never built anything!!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The problem with growing anything at ground level in our tiny backyard is that the dog can get to it and pee on it, which he will do, no question. It doesn't seem like being subjected to daily dog business could be good for a baby garden. But maybe I'm wrong about that.)

Peeing isn't so much the issue (at least til now, thanks) as consumption. Darb has and will pull a zucchini plant right out if the dirt and eat it.

One of my plans for the cottage is to plant a big patch of sunflowers. Partly because I love them, but also so maybe all the ones in my neighborhood can get a break. They don't fare so well in the game of Plants v Darbys.

My current notion is some flowering groundcover thing, maybe in the front as well as the back? (Along with whatever container I use for vegetables....) Or I could just fix up the grass in front. Or do nothing! We shall see.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Brenda!

Yet another snow day here. End, winter, end!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am pro flowering groundcover, generally.

Sorry. we had an earthquake (clearly). I am excited about the raised beds. I am never actually going to assemble them unless they come in some sort of easy system. Also, I am irresponsible and need an drip irrigation system. So this all seems perfect for me!

The status is NOT quo.

How the heck did I miss the earthquake? I was up and about but felt nothing.
