Dropped out of site (ha ha) but I'm back

Hi there friends and neighbours. The conference is done, the snow is gone, and I'm feeling a lot better about life. Thank goodness for that.

I have been at rather loose ends lately. I've been letting things slip, not remembering appointments, crap like that. And starting to feel positively lousy about it. So, I put together a list of goals for this quarter, and I'm already feeling more together. Better make sure to do the stuff on that list. Just writing the list isn't enough by a long shot! the goals are all focussed around reconnection, reorganization, relaxation, exercise and my career.

Have been working in the garden again, two bags at a time. Any more than that and it feels like a job, and I hate that feeling more than I can say! We did a bad thing and tried to clean the dead grass off the front yard -- and it looks like we scalped it. God, I hope the grass come back. And we have to remember, always, that enthusiasm doesn't top expertise. Ever.

The dog killed a bunch of the grass close to the house again, and I'm thinking a huge deck out there will fix it. I'm ready to give.

And, we are now gearing up for the big renovation project this year. We are changing out all the windows, doors, and replacing the shingles on our house with metal bonded to insulation. it was the only way we could really figure out how to up the r value of this house. (See geodesic dome houses, and you can see our dilemma.) This is going to be a very entertaining summer. That's all I can say. I may post pictures, when we really get going on this.
