Food poisoning sucks!

 Well, Friday a bunch from my office went to our favorite Mexican place.  I ordered chicken tacos and boy did I pay for it.  Mind you we go to this place frequently so I'm pretty disappointed.  I spent the weekend in bed or the bathroom.  I'm at work today, but very tired and my stomach is still pretty tender.  I think I will stick to ground beef from now on and maybe skip this place all together for awhile.  

One of the guys from my office announced he is leaving before I retire.  It's going to be strange to be here without him.  He's big part of what is good that is happening around here.  I'm trying slowly step back and now it won't be so easy.  I'm not offering to pick up anything.  It just wouldn't be fair to the business for him to leave and me 4 weeks later.  I'm just trying to finish out what I'm working on right now.  The department won't be the same by the end of the year.  

  

The count down has begun.

 Since school is almost out I have been getting more and more questions about when my last day is at work.  Some days I think I'm ready and some days I'm not.  I have a list of things I want to do at the house before school starts up again and it keeps growing and growing.  The first is to get my garden planted.  The potatoes are in but nothing else is.  It just has turned off warm enough to plant here and I'm itching to get to the green house and get plants.  

Other days I'm not sure I will have enough to keep my mind sharp.  I've been offered some consulting work that I probably will do once school starts up again.  FarmBoy is a little hesitant about me not having some sort of job to keep me busy as well.  I'm not worried.  I think I will have enough.  There are things I just don't have time to do at home that don't get done that will more back on my list.  Sewing is one of them.  I've been wanting to do more lap quilts for gifts and I just don't have time.  I've got most of the fabric so I'm ready to get moving.  I've been creating a list lately.  I want to get my home organization book going too so that things won't fall off my little lists.  Meal planning more is also on my list.  I could go on and on, but maybe those should be other posts.  

Where is the warmth???

 Spring just isn't staying around where I live yet.  It has been a cool kind of wet spring.  FarmBoy has planted potatoes, but it's too cool to plant anything else.  He bought some seeds but we haven't even tried to go to the greenhouse to get plants.  My little greenhouse is starting to take shape.  I'm hoping he gets it done this week so I can start some seeds there.  

I'm continuing to clean out my office.  I'm left with books and a few things that I will be taking home that I'm still actively using so it will be last minute.  The word has gotten around and there are loads of people asking loads of questions on who will be doing my job, what am I going to do, etc.  It's a bit overwhelming.  I'm really ready for it to be done and onto the next thing, but I have to be patient and work the process.  One last company picnic in June and that will be my last official company event.  Sprout is looking forward to it.  She's getting really excited.

I'm starting to plan my days and figure out what the new routine will be.  I've started looking at new recipes and cleaning schedules, etc.  I think the kid and I will be setting up an online store to sell off things that we declutter out of the house.  She's grown out of some expensive clothes and shoes that we could turn a good profit.  If that goes well then we might consider thrifting and yard selling to keep the store going.  It could provide some extra money when needed.  I've been thinking about it for awhile now and we just need to pull the trigger and get going.  

I've got several sewing things to do already and I can't wait to have the time to do them.  I have owed FarmBoy  a quilt for a longgggg time.  It's cut but I just haven't had time to sit and sew it.  It's one of the first things I'll be doing when it's too hot to do things outside in July.  There's other things coming like blogging more often.
