Excuses

Once again I'm behind on my blogging. It's not that I don't drop by your blogs, I just don't always have the right mind to make a comment. And yes, I do have to be in my right mind. My excuse this weekend is actually pretty good. We did work on the house doing some electrical work and some mudding - tape and bedding. Toby did the electrical while I did the muddin' stuff. Mud is right up my alley. I can do this sort of work without any help - meaning I can mud while Toby is not here. We don't have all the sheetrock up yet, because we have to get the plumbing and AC/heater in first. But we had to finish the AC/heater closet before we could set the AC/heater in. We also need to tear out the old kitchen wall in order to get all the electrical stuff done, but that means tearing up my kitchen. It's all a vicious cycle.


Another excuse for not blogging is I have a new laptop. We have been getting to know each other. So far, so good, except for the left shift key does not always work. My computer doctor says he can fix that easily enough. I started to post pictures, but I need to put my camera software on the new puter and the "add image" thang on blogger is not coming up either. I got my mouse working this morning. Since I am not a good speller, I use Word to write some of my comments and posts. The Word I use does not seem to be on this puter. Jesse says we can put it on here - someday. The spell check on my blogger is not working either. What's up with that? If I make lots of spelling mistakes or capitalization, please ignore and forgive. It is all just stuff that takes time, and time is the problema. That and I'm no techie. I have been trying to do this without pestering Toby for help. Jesse is off on an adventure or I might pester her.


So what has been keeping me so busy? After all the doctor appointments last week, Friday was a catch up day - Walmart and errands. Jesse left for her ski adventure. Friday night we went to Lawton with about 30 other people for a birthday dinner. It was great fun except for riding on a bus over to Lawton. I just don't do well on buses. We did not get home until after midnight. For this farm girl, that is late. Saturday we slept in. Since we are empty nesters this week, sleeping in was fun. Then we went to work on the house. Of course we had to have a big dog nap since we stayed up late.


Sunday was the usual. The GGs came over to see the chicks, which have been put in an outside pen. We did more work on the house. Took another nap. Bought a vacuum cleaner. It is amazing how time flys when you are having fun.

Anyhoo, I still need to get some things loaded on this computer in order to be up to snuff and figure out why blogger is being weird. In the meantime, I will just have to make do.

Now I'm off to the vet to take the cat - to be fixed ;)
