getting stuff done

hypatia42The brilliant idea to have the Honey bring me my meds when he gives the girl hers in the morning has paid off. I have been getting up and being able to be productive. I still regularly forget to ingest enough calories but I'm not forgetting altogether.
This week I have worked on the accent paint out front for the columns and spent three days of short bursts gardening. It is possible that this will be the first year we will have a decent looking garden out front. Given that most of what has been planted are bulbs of three variety, it is kind of a gamble and we will see how it turns out.
Right now I am spent. Drinking water. Praying that when I torqued my knee sideways it didn't do anything but irritate a weak area.
Next week I will work on the side front bed. Not much going in there. I will be pulling some of the sedum, echinacea, and maybe speedwell from the back. I might look into getting some creeping herbs or some such to put there.
I made the base for ice cream today. I really hope it will turn out ok. Cooking raw milk is interesting. It looked like it was trying to break into curds at one point. It smoothed back out mostly when I whisked the egg yolks in but I have no idea why it happened. I did everything that the recipe said to and I know it didn't ever get too hot. I strained the hell out of it before mixing with the cream and other milk. It might be kinda grainy or it might turn out to be an expensive mess. I am really not sure. I think next time I am simply going to make proto-eggnog and freeze that in the ice cream maker.
I really did feel better physically in Las Vegas. It is possible high desert would be good for me.
Have I mentioned how spent I am? And my foot is numb. On the leg that I torqued my knee... hrm.
