Today has been an extremely busy day for me. After breakfast I biked to the community garden to water and weed. The tomato and pepper plants are doing really well from what I can tell. They're growing bigger and the leaves are looking good. My chives and cucumber have still not come up, can I…
The House
My day 6-24-19
Gene and I are driving to Moab tomorrow for a quick getaway. We'll do some hiking, a river raft excursion, and just relax, it should be lovely. But since I'll be gone for a few days, that meant today was the day I made sure my plants were all in order. I planted the Siberian…
Weekend around the house
Gene putting together my shelf Gene found a good deal on a corner wall shelf the other day that I snatched up in hopes that in the near future it would hold houseplants and homemade art. It's smaller than I imagined so I will be limited in what plants and items sit on it, but…
Lydia’s visit
Shindig mural Lydia jetted off to her next adventure yesterday morning, leaving behind an upgrade to the catio and a Shindig mural on the wall. Gene and I both like the mural, because our friends and family created it for us, but we could not figure out the best way to hang it up so…
Thanos and plants
I have all the power now Thanos' infinity gauntlet surprised me Monday morning as my coworker walked around the corner wearing it. Even more surprising was when she set it down on my desk and bestowed it to me. I now have my very own infinity gauntlet. And not only that, but it's a cup.…
Nature Wall is upgraded
The Nature Wall has been upgraded! Thanks to Sidney’s and Gene’s help yesterday afternoon, I took down the nature wall pictures and hung them back up in a nicer, more organized manner. We are not quite finished as a frame broke, another frame needs a hook, and my two cross stitch pieces need adjusting but…
DINK & yard work!
This past weekend I went to DINK - Denver Independent Comics Expo - for the first time and had a blast. Two floors of a building were completely filled with comic book writers, comic book artists, and artists in general all selling their wares and chatting it up. While I’m not a big comic reader…
Hanging pot rack
After a couple of hours and a trip to Lowe's, we have successfully installed a hanging pot rack! And by "we", I mostly mean Gene. He was a trooper, going up and down the ladder, marking and remarking, drilling and raising. I'm sure his neck is sore from looking up for so long but we…
Spices and cats
On Thursday I took a half day so I could spend some time with Dana and Kaitlin. We had lunch at Kaitlin's house and hung out for a bit. I forgot to bring my camera so no new pictures of EG (but not to worry, I'll see her tomorrow!). She is now a little over…
Snow on the ground – I work from home
We got enough snow overnight that Gene and I worked from home today. That in itself was a plus to my day but it also meant I got to sleep in an extra hour since I wasn't commuting anywhere. Score. After I was done with work, Gene and I put together a bench that we…
