I haven't blogged lately, and I didn't even miss it. But today, it's time....
We've eaten some marvelously tasty Mexican meals, courtesy of Niza. I have trouble pronouncing the names of these dishes, and I won't even try to spell them. I just know that it now takes a lot more hot sauce to make my nose sweat, and I'm buying salsa in large jars. Niza--and Josh, too--seem like part of the family by now.
We are in the process of cleaning out the greenhouses, but it'll probably take another week or two. Aquaponics sure is a great growing system, but it's a foul mess to disassemble. This is so not fun.
My ambitious winter reading list has been hijacked by life. I'm currently reading Job and eating dark chocolate, which is actually a great combination. And I have been writing, too, but let's just say that it is not fit for public consumption.
Drew and little Josh have been struggling with health issues---mainly ear infections and colds for both. (And ironically enough, both Joshes had pneumonia the same day, even though it is supposedly not contagious.) The doctor bills coming in make me very thankful that the rest of us have remained healthy.
Laughter is everything good that "they" say it is. What tickles your funny bone, however, is probably a good indicator at the stress level with which you're functioning. We enjoy moments of side-splitting laughter over the weirdest things.
I baked a carrot cake today--it didn't turn out very pretty, but that's OK. I can't remember the last time I baked a regular cake, much less one with layers and frosting. I'm sure we're celebrating something, but I haven't figured out exactly what.
Perspective gets drowned out by circumstances an average of twice a day, but it somehow always re-surfaces, and one day I hope to have it back for good!
