unicorndukeThe last few days have been busy with farm work.
I've pruned blueberries and raspberries, fixed deer fencing and removed straw from the strawberries. That has all been nice and fun. I also started the farm peppers and eggplants, and need to get my own seeded this week. I really need to do garden planning, I think that will be important this year. I've been thinking about how expensive things will be and how I can just add in space to grow things when a lot of people can't.
I've been struggling to adjust to the temperature in the house. My parents keep it around 70F, which is only 7f above the NY house, but I feel too warm all the time now. I'm overheating while I sleep since it hasn't been cooling off much overnight even with my window open.
I've been getting practice feeding the outdoor burner because my dad keeps forgetting to load it before he hits the road for computer work. Yesterday I went to throw another log in, failed the throw and punched the side of the opening to the burner. the top of my thumb hit the creosote and I don't think I really got it cleaned out properly although I'll get it in a minute. My hands also hurt from the raspberry pruning, I'm still pulling tiny thorns out of my fingers as I type this despite wearing gloves. I need to get some good leather gloves for that. I got hit on both sides of my face by raspberry canes, so I've got cuts there to monitor.
I played video games with my sister last night, hoping to get back into my routines soon. Watching baking show with Jade tonight. I'm taking Mondays off work, so baking is in my sights if I can plan properly what I want to make. Arg meal planning too. I wanted to make rice last night, but I left the bulk bag of rice in NY and there isn't a bit of rice in the house, so my easy meals aren't so easy. I think I'll lean more heavily on my recipe books for something interesting to make, I pulled a couple from storage, the most used ones. Maybe some mac and cheese or something. Hearty food. The risotto was awesome and I made a huge batch of it so it lasted a bit.
It's raining today. Things on the list to do are: get maple syrup out for sale and post about it, write a sidejob plan, website work
I'm tired and feel like I'm in limbo, which I really am. I've got my carefully stacked piles of important things around my desk and a list of tasks to take care of that I need to do, but I'm waiting on paperwork to use for my state id change which affects like four other things. bleh
