Out of a rut

Things around here seem to be going so fast that I can barely keep up. I only seem to be able to complete my regular daily chores before it's time to go to bed. Everything is piling up and I can't seem to find my way. Last week I was sick for most of the time, then I worked Thursday and Friday, a friend's wedding rehearsal Friday night, then the wedding Saturday night. Sunday was spent selling some books for gas money and then kicking around the McKinney square, then home to try to start getting caught up. I just seem to be so tired all the time. Maybe it's the weather change. It's chilly here at night, which is welcome, and still in the 80s during the day. My goal today was to actually get up and get right to work, no computer, no tv, no reading. I did pretty well, got some laundry done and some other chores. Then I went and gassed up the truck and picked up an ice chest from the neighbors. Tomorrow is "spa day" again for the babies. We have 33 this time, and they'll be 7 weeks old on Wednesday. They've been really good this time around. We learned a lot with the first batch. A lot of what not to do. This batch has been living in the dog run, and then free ranging during the day. I think these guys are a lot healthier as far as running around chasing bugs and eating a lot of grass. I'll be getting up early, loading them up and heading out.

I also finally got the Headless Horseman set up for the front porch. He's sitting in the rocking chair by the front door with a scull in his lap. Pretty spooky. I've only carved one pumpkin so far this year. One for a friend, so I can't reveal what it is until it's delivered.

I guess that's about it. Just trying to get a routine re-established, get some energy and get some things done.

Wish me luck
