It's raining icy cold rain (I'm thinking only a gardener could get excited about this LOL ) !
That means the last of the snow is gone from my north -facing Perennial border and I'm just DYING to get out there n clean it up ( and finish putting up the little greenhouse which is framed but not yet covered ) As soon as it GETS covered the soil in the two raised beds will thaw magically and it will be TROPICAL in there .... thanks to the SUN .
I'm meeting with clients from around the world because my jewelry show starts this Sunday ...
My broccoli and swiss chard seedlings are up after 4 days on the heating mat and I am water ing them every morning with a turkey baster .... hope the landlord will be able to manage and won't forget ****er the second flat of seedlings which arent showing their heads yet lol ....
Have two more little wondowsill greenhouses full of Jiffy pots to start that fit on the heating mat next to the chard/ broccoli flat ... the day is pregnant with possibilities - flowers ? fruit ? ( 24 tiny fruited but everbearing and distinctively flavored Alpine strawberry plants ?) or maybe Belgian purple Brussels sprouts which I love to grow at home and pick and cook as tender babies the size of dimes ? oh the hard DECISIONS ......

Finishing my packing and moving and cleaning...
May spend my last night at the condo tonight and maybe go out with a girlfriend. We'll see.
I also am thinking of going to VS and buying me a new bra. I can wear bras now, but all I have are with underwires and they irritate my incision... so one without an underwire (and I don't need them anymore - woohoo!)
Maybe going to Best Buy and buying a new washer and dryer...
I'd better get moving. Lots to do and not enough time..

before U do Best Buy ( which is purely retail prices Jody ) I would consider looking online for the nearest
ding center .... Sears has them as do the big box stores like Lowes . This is where they take appliances that were ordered and rejected thanks to a small dent ... or were showroom samples or were just extra orders of last years model offered at a great price from the factory . Since washers and dryers change so little a place like this can actually save U 50% or more - is DEFINITELY worth the drive ( especially if U have a pickup and the ability to carry U r prizes home ) .
U won't believe the difference in the prices .

Post Op Day 11, still at home.
Each day my protein count has gone up, but today I want to hit my goal of 65 grams. I broke out the coffee maker so I could do a couple protein coffees. That should tip me into success.
Ava has me wanting to walk my gardens and see if any of the bulbs are peeping out. It's raining here, but above 60 degrees.
I may make my post-op maiden voyage to our country post office today (about a mile). Doc said I could drive when I was off pain meds (check), could turn my head left and right (check), and could stomp on the brake REAL hard (I'll check that in the driveway).
Other than that, gotta finish the latest round of thank you cards for all the kindesses many folks have shown me in the past two weeks.... my knitting group send me a prayer shawl on Tuesday, made me bawl like a baby as I was opening it. And, my living room is so full of flower arrangements I can smell the Asiatic lilies all the way in here (the study).
I COOKED (not defrosted) chili for DH last night, and will cook Italian sausage with peppers and onions for him tonite.
Such BIG plans!
