The Usual Suspects

helwenFitzw was able to help with moving bins and boxes a few days ago, so another dozen moved from the grey shed to the house, plus he brought a few of them down into the basement as well. I appreciate being saved a few trips up and down stairs, especially with the larger bins. A couple more went into the trailer.

Haven't been doing a lot of active gardening -- not outdoors anyway. Altho' this afternoon Fitzw decided it was time to rake out at least one garden bed so the daffodils aren't struggling quite so much.
I did start some seeds a few weeks ago, most of which are coming up. I need to start some more, but... well, we'll see. Only so much time and energy and the to-do list is LONG.
I have a packet of seeds on my desk that lost the info they came with, so I'll likely plant those just to find out what they are... I suspect they're Columbines.
We also bought some live plants this past week, while down in the valley for doctor stuff. One blueberry to add to the collection, a new Primrose, three Heather and two Blackberries. They didn't have Bear Berries -- apparently they've been declared invasive -- good to know.
The red leaf lettuce experiment wintered over and are now getting rather large. Also, the success rate is such that I'll be giving some away to a couple of friends.

I used some of the bubble wrap I've saved over the years for insulating parts of the walls in the grey shed. We'll use some regular stuff here and there as well, but the shed will never be wired or have fire in it so we're opting to save a few dollars and also keep some plastic out of the rest of the world. I emptied a few trash bags doing that, so yay, I have trash bags I can re-use.

GOOD: I actually got EIGHT hours of sleep last night!!!
BAD: I've gained 3 - 3.5 pounds in the past week. This even with watching my caloric intake as usual. This happened the last time I was on a machine; I need to keep an eagle eye on this because I don't want to deal with that again, especially since I'm actually trying to lose a significant amount of weight this year.

Art! Well, sort of -- the business side. I'm printing cards today so I can deliver to various and sundry. I actually have the brain power to do it today, so yay.
