The End of the Holidays

So, after a lovely week away from civilization at my cottage (a pity there's no internet there or I would have written a lot in this blog) we come back home.  To a few surprises.

1.  The dog has a bladder infection.
2.  It's raining.  Really hard.  And we have to get our luggage out of the car.  Pity.
3.  There's something wrong with the cat.  He's got  bald patch on his neck, which we think comes from the fact that dad gave him the dog's flea meds instead.
4. The yard is flooded.
5. The heater is on!  In July!  The house is HOT!
6. The heater won't turn off!
7. The heater won't turn off because it is submerged with water (!) because...
8. The basement is flooded.

Oh well, we're all quite cheerful, and the repair man is nice.  The weather reminds me of the day we moved into this house... "It rained like you wouldn't believe!"  "We believe!"  We were so tired that we decided it was impossible to cook anything, so we ordered pizza, found out they didn't do delivery, went to get the pizza, got stuck in traffic, and found we brought home the wrong order!  Such is life! :)  And life is beautiful!

On a funnier note, some how some kind of seed has made its way into my worm farm, because it's sprouting something :)

Wow, and yet you are happy despite all this. Impressive. Hope it all gets better for you. :)

You have a worm farm? How does that work? Like I know people have ant farms, and even those I do not fully understand.

Thanks :) I was just in one of those moods that nothing could get me down!

Ms. Duque has one of those at the back of the classroom, and when the time came for her to split it (the colony gets too big), she gave me half :) Her and Dave cooked it up as a surprise!

It works kind of like a compostor... you put in food, preferably fruit, and you dig it down deep. The worms will eat it and turn into beautiful black, rich soil. I love worms! I find them cute :

That is good. Go you. :)

Who is Dave? Hey, Ms. Duque has a worm farm? That is uber-sweet! How is yours going?

So it's like a cheap way of making good soil for a garden then?

Dave as in Kinitz! Come on! :) Although, there are multiple Daves I suppose... however, I only hang out with one.

Sorry, I was not thinking. I should have known better. I will know better for future reference.
And he's leaving! :'( So sad!
