I've become frighteningly lax in regards to this blasted blog. Sometimes I find myself wanting to close it so I don't have to do anything with it...and I somehow manage to talk myself out of it. I enjoy blogging, I really do. I just don't seem to really have the time to sit down and write out a post as often as I would like, which makes me sound lazy. And I really am. Writing a blog post isn't always the easiest of jobs, you know?
Tink is at the farm this weekend. Mum picked her up yesterday and shall drop her off tomorrow some time before she takes R2D2 to the rehearsal for his piano recital on Tuesday. I'm so excited to go watch him play. I love listening to him tinkering away on those ivory keys, but I do know that he's looking forward to summer break from not only school but piano as well.
It's nice just having him around (well, and Dinky obviously), we're able to actually spend some good time together. Last night we went out to a wedding reception for one of Husby's co-workers and it was a lot of fun. They had carnival games set up and cotton candy. R2D2 was in his prime, running around and winning tickets to bring up and collet prizes. I don't think he needs any new toys. Ever. In fact I'm pretty sure I could keep some of that stuff and gift it for Christmas! I just don't think I could get away with doing that to him. He's crafty and clever that one. I love him. He's such a treat. This morning he asked if he could play his tablet (yes, we broke down and let him get one) and I said sure...after he helps clean up. So now he's downstairs in his room playing for a bit after he helped clean up by picking up all the stuff off of the floors.
Dinky is feeling under the weather. Yesterday he wasn't feeling the greatest and this morning he's so tired, slight temperature, not hungry and was caked in boogies. And being sick tends to mean some time in the hospital and an increase in his seizure activity. Which I have noticed already this morning. I'm pretty sure that there needs to be a tweak in his medication as I've been noticing a few little twitches once or twice a day for the last couple of days and more than one or two today. Which means that something isn't working the way that it should be...and that he's getting sick. An increase in seizure activity is going to be the normal for us every time Dinky falls ill.
Just like how easy it is for him to get sick.
Which drives me mental because he doesn't have his vaccinations yet. Every time we try and get them done something happens. He gets sick or he seizes and winds up in the hospital. So not only is there Whooping Cough running rampant in our area because parents are (in my own opinion) freaking dolts (most of the time) and refuse to vaccinate, thus letting these diseases back into the herd...so not only is there that but there's freaking bacterial pneumonia as well. JUST what we need!
Husby fenced in our small little garden patch and we planted it about 2 weeks ago. Nothing overly complex. Potatoes, peas, beans, carrots, beets and spinach....as well as a small pot of chives. I'm pleased to announce that we have veggies growing! Almost everything is up to some varying degree or another, except the carrots. While we only have a few beans that have popped out of the soil, the peas have taken off. Which makes me wonder if I should have only planted 2 peas per hole rather than 3. Either way we like peas so that's a bonus. Also my little hanging tomato plant has green fruit already! I'm excited. I think I might enjoy gardening.
At least until the weeds get out of control. In the mornings I try to go out for a few minutes and pull what I can and revisit the patch in the evening. I do know that I shall be rethinking the strategy a little bit and trying to plan things a bit better next year, but this really is the first year I've had a real garden. At the old house we had a small patch but nothing to this degree (which in itself isn't all that large but a good size for being right in town!) so I've got all kinds of weird giddy going on. I hope to be able to make this as successful as possible, and if I can, learn about the right kind of veggies to plant that can be frozen (like what kind of peas I can shell and freeze!!)
I really do need a hobby.
OH! Before I forget, Dinky got his weight checked the other day and he is now 7.18kg!
Though being sick and not eating it better not go down...
This makes me all kinds of excited.
Okay. I should go find something productive to do. Because sitting on my butt isn't getting the floors cleaned. And they really, really need it because they're gross. I really should try getting them washed a little more often...
