Time sure flies when you're having fun ... NOT! I've hit the "bored beyond comprehension" state. I'm beginning to hate the computer! I upgraded to Windows 10 and changed my browser to Chrome. Boy do I miss Windows XP!! It was easy to use, and things were called what they were ... I needed to clear all the cookies I'd been accumulating for a while and couldn't find anything that said "cookies" ... anywhere! I had to do a search to find out it was under a tab called "content settings" - what a moronic name ... there are many, many more things I'm really beginning to hate!! I'll go into them as they pop up on me, besides when they do, I really need to vent, so stay tuned ... I know they're coming ... LOL!
I also think cabin fever has set in ... we've had a bit of snow the last couple of days, not enough to get excited about. The snow rarely lasts more than a day ... little skiff that is more annoying than useful. It has been cold and windy though. It's hard to sometimes even go out to feed the chickens and let them out. They also take a while to come out of the coop. They eat and if they can find some sunshine they run for it or if it's overcast they scoot back into the coop - I have a heat lamp in there ...
The roller coaster ride that is the election is one of the most frightening things I've seen ever since I sort-of started paying attentions to elections ... I'm a Ted Cruz supporter. Trump scares the hell out of me and Rubio is wishy washy. He does something and then denies it ... sorry Marco, you are not much better than Trump. Trump is out for himself ... if he didn't think he could get something out of being President he wouldn't be running ...
There was a surprise in my mail box today ... the March/April 2016 issue of Grit magazine! I'm going to go through it as soon as I crawl into my bed in my warm fuzzies (pj's) I usually watch TV while playing games on my tablet, but tonight after all the votes are counted, Grit will be gone through with a fine tuned comb. I even read the ads ... LOL I also go to some of the web sites just to see what they're all about.
Sure wish I had more open, sunlit ground on my property, but it's covered with trees ... not a bad thing, but I'd like to rearrange the trees a bit ... that way I can have a flat garden area and a greenhouse that both get sun! The only place for a greenhouse is in the front of the house ... and that spot is used for the snow piles in winter ... I want a permanent greenhouse ... I've been trying to get seeds to grow for many years, but I've resigned myself to getting seedlings for whatever I want to grow ... I just don't have that darn green thumb for seeds. I try to start them indoors, but my house is really dark and the way the house is laid out I don't have good window placement for seeds ...
I had a nice vacation last year to see my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. We met in Seattle - the grandson is in the Navy and son-in-law had a big meeting with Microsoft, so my daughter went and talked me into going ... I loved every minute of it. And my bestest friend and her daughter met us for an afternoon of lunch and some shopping. Bestest friend and daughter live on Widbey Island, so it was a bit of a trip, but we all agreed it was worth it. I need another trip away from the house!!!
There are quite a few dozens of eggs in the fridge so tomorrow I'll dehydrate some more raw eggs. I also have celery that needs to be dried too. That'll keep me busy for a couple of days ... then what?
I'm running out of things to 'talk' about besides being more pissy, so I'll let you all go for now. Hope things are working out well for everyone.
