It's been a rough couple of weeks.
Came down with a cold, and I believe Bub has it too. Bit hard to tell, it's mostly been sore throat, sinus headaches and general feeling of blah, none of which are obvious in a pre-verbal toddler. However, his nights of waking up every few hours coincided with my sore throat, and he's been pretty unhappy when not under the influence of painkillers. Ditto for me.
The hot water system also died, again, last Saturday and didn't become functional again until Tuesday afternoon. This was not fun, and one way or another is the last time we pay for that thing to get repaired. Planning to get quotes for a gas system before next winter. (6 service calls in 4 years, mostly breaks down in winter).
<TMI> If that's not enough, looks like the breastfeeding has worn off and I'm back to the monthly cycle again now. First real one since Bub was conceived. /TMI>
(He's still on one short breastfeed a day)
And I still need to buy a new printer.
Aside from all that though, things are going pretty well really.
I've got some paid work going on (usually a couple of lessons on Tuesdays, one school, and the junior class on Saturdays). Just as well since I have a printer and a hot water system to pay for.
The garden thinks it's spring. We've got daffodils and jonquilles out, camellias, violets, hellebores, snowdrops and the Happy Wanderer is looking very happy and purple indeed. One of the miniature rosebushes has started flowering, and my nectarine needs spraying for leaf curl tomorrow if I want to get in before the buds open.
( And the Bub update )
