just a little update

Alex had his surgery. It was INTENSE, but he did great. The doctor said he should heal quickly, so that's a relief.

I talked to my grandmother. She called and we had a brief chat. She didn't seem upset, but she sounded a little strange. Anyway, I explained to her what's been going on with me- the touch of flu I had after getting back from FL, work, Alex's surgery, so hopefully she forgives me for not calling her. I feel better, and am glad I picked up the phone.

The weather here sucks. It's been snowing, raining and now just overcast. The sun is supposed to come out tomorrow and I can't wait. I don't do well with lack of sunlight. It's one of the things I dislike about this state the most. Ah well. I will be so glad when the leaves start coming out on the trees and I can get out to work in my yard. I got a book for my brithday about attracting birds to your yard with plants, feeders, birdhouses, etc. I already have several feeders up and am thrilled with the results. So far I have had woodpeckers, chickadees, blue jays, various blackbirds, nuthatches and dark-eyed junco's visit. Alex says that once his arm heals he will build me a birdhouse. I know nothing about carpentry, and get so impatient, I would likely build something that fell completely apart if I attempted it myself. Anyway, I can hardly wait until warmer weather comes and I have more bird visitors. It's a good outlet for me.

Anyway, guess I'm done rambling now.
