It's The Small Things That Matter

It figures that as I come to write this post one of my cats decides it's time to be cuddly. Isn't that always the way? Any spelling mistakes or other weird keystrokes I blame on my feline typist.

So much has happened since my last post. We've moved into our new house and are trying to get the condo sold. It's been repainted an patched up like new so hopefully that will go soon. The new house was crazy. Wesigned on December 16th moved on the 19th or 20th...can't remember exactly...and hosted 20 people on the 25th. I'm still sane...somewhat. the basement is still unfinished and mostly a storage area though most of the boxes are gone. Pictures still need to be hung but we are slowly getting it all put together. My step-father has built us a roof over our east-facing deck so we can get more use out of it and has also added a wonderful outdoor shower to the back.

The lawn of our house and the general landscaping is leaving much to be desired. We have 4 Leech fields (on spetic system) in our back yard. It's a great level place to play for our son but the whole of it needs to be re-graded as we have standing water on one side and a sink hole over another of the leech fields. LESSON LEARNED: always do a hold back for radon sysem and landscaping when buying a new house.

Other than that I've found a part time/seasonal job at a local place and was doing well before a bout of God-Only-Knows-What has laied me low for the past 3 weeks. I've found out that I have a cyst on my ovary and slight inflammation of the small bowel. After nearly 10 days on my antibiotic I start developing localized rashes and swelling, so much so that I can't close my right hand to make a fist. Back to the doctors I go only to be told that I'm allergic...well *duh*. Now on a particularly nasty steroid that makes me warmer than usual, grumpy, and super tired. Stellar stuff.

On the up hand....and this is where the small stuff comes into play...I found out that someone who had visited my blog for my website (not this one) had sited it on a discussion board in Germany! I looked at it and I was thrilled! It made me super excited that someone had found the information that I had researched so helpful that they posted the link to my post elsewhere! *Happy Dance!*

On to nap time.....Zzzzz
