The battle with caffeine withdrawal has gone pretty smoothly. I was able to stave off the excruciating headaches until almost a week after giving up the evil that is caffeinated soda, so I don't think these headaches have anything at all to do with withdrawal. I just think I have whatever Hubster has that is making him miserable. A bad head cold.
I'll live.
Granted, it will be with the aid of meds that can help with the headache, but I will live.
I'm still trying to plug away and get things done in spite of how I feel. I have more success some days than others, but that's nothing new. I do feel good at having gotten some more deep cleaning done. I moved the stove and refrigerator out and cleaned underneath them. There was something really sticky under the edges of the appliances that seeped further under the refrigerator than the stove. My guess is that Hopper spilled something when she was attempting to fill a glass. Considering the stickiness of the spill, I'm assuming it was rootbeer. As dirty as it gets under appliances that get cleaned under every 6 to 9 months or so, I can't imagine what they'd look like, if I'd have waited any longer. Yuck.
This weather is making it doubly hard to be sick. It's so nice outside that I am dying to get out there and do some gardening. I've got some major cabin fever. I want to get my hands in the dirt. I want to turn the soil and plant the seeds. The fact that the apple and pear trees have just finished blooming and the strawberries are doing so well that every single plant has blossoms on it makes it so much harder! I am so tempted to go out and plant my garden already, but I know it would be a mistake. It's still too early to plant, in spite of the current gorgeous weather.
This is Colorado, after all. I know that the moment I took the plunge and got my hands dirty in garden soil, I would regret it. We would get a monumental frost, and I'd lose all the effort that I'd put into the garden in an instant. I'm doing my best to fight that primal urge that Spring brings every year.
I will not be able to resist temptation much longer. Thankfully, I shouldn't have to. It's usually safe to plant Mother's Day weekend. Only 3 weeks to go. Not that I'm counting or anything.
I just hope I can hold out that long...
Our planting time is around May
ReplyDelete15th. I quess we had some weird, warm weather while we were in Florida and I missed all my spring flowers. I am anxious to get out in the dirt myself.
Feel better!
I'm eager for my garden as well. Went a little overboard in seed starting and now have 68 tomato starts and 65 pepper starts. Plus 48 wild strawberry starts and 24 ground cherry....No way they'll all fit in our yard. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm on day 3 of no caffiene. Didn't have a headache today, but am on day two of feeling like I'm in a cloud. Just can't focus. I know caffiene would help, but even with my wanting to give in, I can't cause we don't have any money! Who'd have thought being broke could be such a blessing in that way......
