It's been a while, so hey y'all!
While looking for something to do for Earth Day, I found out that the Arbor Day Foundation gives you 10 tiny trees if you get a $10 membership. I'm going to order the flowering tree mix today. It's usually better to try planting trees in the fall, but I figure what the heck...I'll give it a go and see if I can get them established. If even one in ten makes it, it's a good deal. We've lost about 10 aspens in the last few years to disease, and our poor little linden isn't doing too great, so this will help to repopulate the yard.
I'm doing well and writing like mad to keep up with my planned publishing schedule. Mr. Borealis built me a rabbit-proof garden for Valentine's Day, and I went out with with T and started planting on the 15th. I did take pictures, but unfortunately don't have them on hand to post right now, so I'll have to get them on here later. :P
Writing, gardening, and cooking constitutes a large part of my hobbies lately.
After all of the excitement in January, T is going in for what I hope will be his last test tomorrow to see if his kidneys are functioning as they should be. I'm sure they are, but the whole situation has just created a mess with his doctors. I get that they want to be careful (and they really do have a reason for concern), but we took him in last week for an unrelated issue and the doctor had ordered antibiotics for a UTI before his urine was even tested. That's where we are now--the issue at hand was ignored because he's had one UTI, so therefore his kidneys MUST be bad and every issue MUST be a UTI. His urine came back and no UTI--he just had a virus. I just want his test tomorrow to come back definitive one way or the other so doctors can stop assuming what's wrong and actually look at the symptoms he has. Wish us luck.
