Crawling toward the finish line

I'm not necessarily feeling better, but I am draining like crazy from my sinuses so I'm guessing that will relieve a lot of the pressure.  I looked up sphenoid sinus and jaw pain and there is a connection there so I'm going to give this a week (that's how long the dr said it would take to be effective) before I call the specialist for an appointment.  Believe me, I won't mess around if it's not better or improving.

Our snow is melting fast.  I have portions of my yard visible (and muddy) so there is the hope of Spring, at least.  I got the tobacco seeds today so I'll be planting tomorrow.  I haven't looked at the almanac yet but I will to see what weather to look for and how long until I can set stuff outdoors, at least for a portion of the day. 

I need to refill the bird feeder.  I haven't seen any birds there for a long time, but as there are patches of grass and some of the trees are budding, they aren't starving.  I need to get busy outside soon, getting my garden ready.  Especially as we're planning on increasing the size of the garden and I'm guessing that will be by hand like Tom did last summer.

I'm still unsettled with my knitting.  Can't find a project and don't have one already going that interests me.  I can't remember the last time I went this long without knitting.  My mojo has disappeared, it seems.  Maybe when I finally feel better and have my brain back...

Supper tonight is kielbasa, sauerkraut and baked beans.  I made potato-leek soup last night with bacon crumbles and cheese.  I did it differently, cooking the potatoes and leeks in the bacon grease and then steaming them by putting the lid on.  Then I added the milk, not as much as normal) and cooked until heated through.  It had a different flavor that was much better.  Tonight though is just like fast food.  Throw things on the stove and heat it.

And another early night.  I went down at 9:30 p.m. and went to sleep almost immediately and woke up again at 7:30 a.m. to let Professor out.  I didn't sleep all the way through but I didn't stay awake either.  I could get used to this.  And my medicine is supposed to be non-drowsy.  I'd hate to see what I'm like if it wasn't.

Off to fix supper and then into bed for reading and sleep.

Glad you are feeling better, I just threw some things in the oven for dinner.
Spring can't come soon enough
