Sleepy tired

unicorndukeI have slept like crap all week, waking up at 2:30 or 3am and unable to get back to sleep for several hours. Last night was the first night where I woke up and was able to fall back asleep but I was so tired at that point that it was inevitable. I'm a sleepy beepy even now.
We boiled 5 days this week starting sunday, I'll make a separate post about that since it's A Lot and also I'm still learning all the boil stuff. The days are long. I am taking today off farm work instead of taking off this past monday since monday was a nice day and there was so much to do. I was planning to take one of the rainy days off but boiled and did other stuff instead.
Most of the wood I split didn't really dry in time, which was kinda expected so my dad ran out and bought a cord of dried firewood and he pulled some dead birches off the mountain that we'll cut and split in the next few days. We really need to work a year ahead. So the basswood will be set aside for next year I think.
The weather was really far too warm for several days and then it dropped dramatically. The cold temps now are mostly due to high winds which are terrible and irritating. I'd rather it just be cold instead of windy.
My sister was in town all week which was great because we swapped off who was watching the boiling and could give each other breaks and chat when in passing.
I have gotten some weaving done which is nice, I kinda want to crank through a bunch of it. I need to plan out my next sewing project since the coat is done. I decided not to type up a separate post for February crafting goals since I only finished the coat and made progress on a bunch of stuff.
I have a lot of sidejob work to do, which I'm going to get at least three plans done today if I can. Might go take a brief nap first though.

I am looking forward to a syrup update!
