Really! It was a surprise to see you say you didn’t have issues today. It’s been quite a while since you’ve said that. Now if that would just continue!!
Mmmmmm, mac ‘n’ cheese! Great comfort food. Sounds like you’re set!
Now if it would just stop trying to rain and DO it!

Yes, those uniforms will keep me busy for quite a while.
My goal is to eventually learn enough about everything in there so I can be a tour guide for folks who want a tour. Some go that route and some like to just meander through on their own.

May your sword never break.
May your armor never rust.
May the Three Moons guide your magic.
May your prayers be heard.
May your beard grow long.
May your Life Quest never blow up in your face.
May your hoopak sing.
May your Homeland prosper.
May Dragons ever fly in your dreams.

My lawn guys were here a couple weeks ago doing the spring cleanup and the lawn is starting to green up. Rain would water it. The weather guy keeps saying real rain is coming...maybe in the next week.
I think I need to get some lawn seed and sprinkle it before the rain....several bare patches.

Did you have a pretty good day today? Get all that pay stuff done for the week? Hope so. Maybe you can breathe for the rest of the week!

Finally greening up a little up there, is it? Y’all must really look forward to it after such long winters.
Yes, I’d say getting some seed out there before the rain arrives would be the way to go.
It seemed to take forever for the trees to leaf out fully this year, then BOOM ... everything was vibrant green. It’s sure refreshing after the drabness of winter but it’s rough on the sinuses. ah-CHOO! The pollen count is high.

Got the checks out, but breathing is not permitted until we get more help. My tomorrow is already filled to the brim.

Knock on wood....no allergies that I know of here.
Making a note to get some grass seed. Hmmmm....maybe I’ll check the garage first. I got some last year, but don’t remember if I used it all.

I’d definitely love doing it but there’s a lot to learn first. And right now, there’s too much to do getting the uniforms cleaned up and I can’t get up there but a day or two a week. At this point, there’s no one else doing it.
That’s ok. I can wait and in the meantime am having a blast.

I will try very hard to make it down there.
Might be more trouble as I have to have an oxygen machine at night.
Not sure what to do about that.
Will talk to my Doc when I see him in early June, okay?
We will take it from there.

Be glad you don’t have allergies to the plant life up there.
If you came down here, more than likely something would get you. Poor Ms. Feather thought she’d caught the flu when she visited us several years ago but it was just allergies. As soon as she left, she felt better.
Maybe you’ll be lucky and still have seed in the garage. One less errand to run and a few bucks get to stay in your pocket. :-)
