I think I've figured out the solution to the knee puzzle
I had thought that my knee stopped hurting either because of drugs, or because of the passage of time. Well, it was definitely the drugs. I didn't take the drug last night and I was in pretty major pain all morning. I took it about 11:30 and it's already much better. Could be the placebo effect, I suppose.
Little boy has been nattering for almost two solid hours about a camping trip with his daddy. Daddy is about ready to lose his mind. I seem to be much better at tuning him out. He has reached the age (almost 5) where pretend listening only works sometimes. If you make an appropriate comment every 5-7 minutes, though, you only have to listen for about 30 seconds every 5-7 minutes. I had recently begun to think that I was losing my touch at multi-tasking, but I'm doing just fine listening to the little boy natter and reading, or washing dishes, so perhaps I'm better at multi-tasking than I thought.
The magnolias are thinking about blooming. There is a lovely row of small trees down the road from my house on the median (on Rue Rochelle by Gause, for Randy). When they stop thinking about blooming and actually do bloom, I think I will break down and post a picture, because I am so excited at the prospect.
It is raining pretty persistently today. This is good; we needed the rain. Also, DH got the back yard cut yesterday. If he'd waited it would have been at least another week before he could cut it, because our back yard never really drains...it just sort of dries up, but not really.
We have a cardinal nesting in the back yard. Also, the yard is full of squirrels. We have a scrubby shrub in the northwest corner of our lot that is rapidly taking over. I want to cut it back or remove it and replace it with something less aggressive and more attractive; DH likes it and wants to keep it. I almost have him persuaded that a few native plants would provide the more natural-looking habitat he wants, while preventing said habitat from growing out of control. Also, we need to plant things that grow in lots of water, because our back yard is always wet.
I need to hire a gardener. Joe, when are you coming to town?
