Haul manure, bake bread (but wash up well between those actions)

Blessings Darlings!

Still working on hauling manure to the garden.  I expect that this will take a month of work, since I'm out of shape and not hauling much per day.  Garden will be very happy ... eventually.  Until then, my tendonitis will be whiny.

Yesterday's temperature hit 81F here, and beautifully sunny but windy.  Today it is only 49F, and cloudy, but at least the wind is calm. Life seems less surreal with the cloudiness, somehow. 

Went to the store to pick up my meds refills.  Virtually out of all meat and frozen foods.  Out of head lettuce, but did have leaf lettuce.   Almost out of paper towels and toilet paper, probably rationing them but I didn't check.  Staff there said mornings are still totally crazy. 

On the way home I stopped at a park and walked around for a while, then hit the empty area where they hope to build a new library and harvested some purple dead nettles.  I think I'll make crepes filled with them soon.

Today's cleaning project was our bedroom.  Got all of it done, which makes me happy.  Also did one load of laundry and line dried it.  Tomorrow - more work on the kitchen or dining room, along with manure hauling.  Maybe put together the composter or the cheapie greenhouse.  

Started re-reading Byron Ballard's "Earth Works:  Ceremonies in Tower Time".  She did an online Ostara ritual today, which I missed. 

Sorry I'm not doing Thoreau-level blogging, folks.  Not inspired to do that at this time.  Feel I should be doing SOMETHING, but this is kinda it.

Frondly, Fern

Unemployment Fail

Blessings Darlings!

Morning update:
The online filing for unemployment site is failing due to so many folks using it.  Will try later today again.  Spawn got thru' earlier this week, he's set up and will get the debit card in a few weeks.

Didn't get thru' all the To Do list yesterday, but got SOME done on everything.  Might go back to manure hauling today, but the mud IS intimidating.  So doing housework.  DAMN that shower stall is clean!

Got more stressed about the whole thing late yesterday, enough so that it made it hard to sleep.  If that happens again tonight, and if I still haven't gotten thru' the unemployment site - I'll do it at 2 am.  And probably clean more.

Husband just asked "What will we do about filling the cars? Pushing those buttons, using that HANDLE?"

Breath.

1 - we're not going anywhere.

2 - the cars have gas

3 - here are wipes I bought years ago - add some water to the package and use them. BTW -

4 - Here are wipes I made with paper towels and alcohol

5 - here are more of the gloves YOU USED YESTERDAY.

 Afternoon update:
Them senators who sold stocks instead of warning and preparing the US need to get prosecuted.

Dinner tonight is chicken and dumplings, with leftover chicken and wild garlic greens.  Used a drop biscuit recipe for the dumplings and also made my first batch of drop biscuits with half the recipe.  Successful attempt!  

Again - did a lot today, but never as much as I'd hoped to get done.  Bored during this at home time?  Oh hell no.

Frondly, Fern
