Was crazy busy at work, hopefully (?!) tomorrow will be more of the same, and Monday. At least Joe took pity and let me go home early today. Thank goodness. Got home, read comics, passed out asleep on the couch for an hour and a half or so.
I apparently came down with something viral (the doctors think, once I finally dragged my butt in to the clinic yesterday. It is definitely NOT strep, which I was a bit afraid of, based on the appearance of my tonsils... ew.) on Monday, which has resulted in a pretty awful week. Allergies not helping. Pesticide treatment of greenhouses on Tuesday probably didn't help either, PPE or not. Tonsils feel like they're golf-ball sized, and are definitely not happy looking. Ew. Ibuprofen has helped some, but I still can't eat anything but chicken soup and soft mushy (non-tomato based. Acid=BAD) things. teh pain, it burns us... *whine* Sent J to the store to get me ice pops whilst he was out for pizza. Hopefully that will help. Gargling with saltwater is one of the three worst torture methods in the world, I am certain of it. UGH.
Little hummingbird lady ate right out of my hand yesterday, which was just awesome. Took the feeder in for cleaning/fresh syrup, and saw a very distressed birdie zooming back and forth where her favorite snackfood was supposed to be. Put feeder back together, walked out the back door, and after a bit of inspection by the lady, was determined to be either safe, or hunger won out, and she sipped from the feeder held in my hand. So cool. Got to try to do it again. I think one of the girls is definitely braver than the other. I've been inspected a few times whilst out in the garden box, pretty closely. She even let me lean on the motorcycle and watch, a mere 2' away, while she ate. And no,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sprirtwolf, still no photos. Don't know if I would be able to get any anyway. But it did happen. :)
Picked up my marigolds today, finally, will hopefully get the tomato in the ground sometime this week. Cucumbers soon. Can't quite figure out why my peas are doing so lousy... they're still not barely 8" tall. Anybody else having better luck out there?
