It's getting better. Sort of.

The weekend was good. Zhade was here, that was nice. She took care of the kids on Friday for me and cooked up a storm. I now have lunches for a week, if not more. Today IDK (Indestructo-kiddo) and I picked up and swept the downstairs, mostly and all the laundry got done. I've made progress in my cross stitch, I'm nearly halfway done! I also got a short nap and I've been able to bang out a few more pages in Ah, Moneypenny.

I've decided Homestead needs beavers. Not sure where, but beavers will be present, because beavers are AWESOME. There's a swampy bit on the property, maybe I can set up a situation to encourage a proper beaver dam and pond. I also need to research the care and feeding of ducks for egg production. Duck eggs are supposedly superior to chicken eggs. I was thinking of adding guinea pigs for a protein source, must research that too. And gardening. So. Much. Gardening. It's not old school homesteading, but it's homesteading!

In about fifteen minutes I will have a nice shower and bath. This will also help.
