2022 Frozen Tundra Farm Report
sKePTiKal:
Lazy Monday (or "second Sunday", as we call it around here). Buck left yesterday, after a month here. He's absolutely spoiled me, fixing things and doing the little things for me in appreciation of the little things I do for him - pretty equal give & take. We seem to have begun settling in and it's like we've done this for years. So far so good, anyway.
The house seemed really empty yesterday without B and all his man "stuff". I kept busy; stopped trying to find things to take my mind off the quiet... and dropped in on Hol & her friend. (S is working half the country away on a couple jobs; back this week.) So there was some girl-time had. Think that helped me re-adjust to being solo again.... for however long it is this time.
It could be a very short time; or the way the system is slowed down - take a month or more till he gets an appt to continue jumping through the hoops prior to seeing a surgeon and getting a date for the pump implant. And it's not just medical care slowed down...
the roofer will order the steel for my roof replacement now - because it may be several months before it's delivered. He figures on doing the work this summer. Maybe the silly contractor can finish the metal shop by then... Buck's already moving some of his heavy tools in there... but we really need the doors installed. Then, B's druthers is full speed ahead on getting everything he's bringing - moved. And I'm good with that, too.
I don't know where I'm going to put it, but B keeps asking permission to obtain a pet dragon. LOLOLOLOL. Or put 'gators in the pond. And he's been bringing me rocks he wants to keep, from his collection. Latest one is obsidian, quartz & emerald that he found somewhere. Some are geodes.
We didn't get anymore snow, from that last storm... and the days are starting to gradually warm. I'm feeling kinda antsy for spring. But it's too soon to start seeds, because we can't chance planting until May. I have a lot of soil enrichment to take care of this year... once the ground thaws and the mud dries up. And I need to get started on that, asap. I could maybe prep my tools too.
sKePTiKal:
NOW... the time till Buck is here full-time is short.
He'll be back the end of Feb, for a surgeon consult on the 2nd. Garage doors for the shop & insulation are scheduled too. B has spent the past couple days getting all the bank & paperwork hoops to jump through when moving sorted out; a plan for switching things up here. He's going to try to get his hearing aids replaced - he swears he can hear a gnat fart with the current ones and background noise is so amplified he still has problems with hearing voices. LOL.
He makes me smile, he's so happy right now. I'm happy too - but BUSY.
lighter:
That's a cheerful update, Amber.
I notice you aren't mentioning B's ex and I hope that means he's not being bothered or harrassed by her. I assume his dd will always be a road his ex uses to gain access to him, but hope the dd feels she can step out of that terrible position. I hope she already has.
I'll uncross and recross everything for this next medical appointment for B.
Things feel like they're moving very fast suddenly!

Hopalong:
Done and Dusted.
How could one possibly not be swooning, over the moon, deeply and unconditionally in love with a man who says something like, "I can hear a gnat fart" EVER?
I would be a goner.
I'm so happy he'll be with you FT soon, Amber.
Really SO happy for you!
hugs
Hops
sKePTiKal:
Thanks Hops... hugs back atcha.
I'm feeling really good about this and my fingers are crossed the pain issues/infection can be finally managed decently.
