#127: Updates and stuff. 👍

 

Easter is right down the bunny trail here in Badhairland. I hadn't bothered to get any easter candy this year; I may rectify this within the next couple days or so. I hadn't bothered with much candy during the Christmas season; once the halloween stuff was disposed of I kinda forgot about the sweet stuff. 🍭

ZZ Flop

Surprisingly, I have a whole 5 days off from school. I don't have any classes on Thursdays, and both Friday and Monday has the school closed due to the Easter holiday. I should use at least a couple of those days working on school stuff; especially since the weather isn't supposed to be all that great. In a way, it's almost like a second spring break. The real spring break was a couple weeks ago and was spent travelling to see a friend in Iowa. 🚗

In other news, my green plant babies are coming along. I've got some oregano and thyme; several types of peppers, and lavender. I didn't get the rosemary to sprout, which wasn't surprising. My basil appears to be the victim of "damping off" and is wilting. So in a couple of days I will probably have to dump them and start fresh (new pot, dirt and seeds). It sucks, but not world-ending. I can only hope I can keep everything else going until it warms up enough to put the pepper plants outside. 🌱

School is also progressing. One class and its associated lab, and the seminar class are going okay; the other class I am unsure of. Apparently it's "suggested" you take chemistry before taking this class. Guess which class I haven't taken? And guess when they told me this? Yup, after it was too late to drop the class. So I'm stuck in a biology class that is almost like in a foreign language. There are no tutors for this class. Prof has been uploading lots of extra credit things and grading on curves (apparently I'm not the only person who sucks at the class....) I can only hope to squeak by with a C. It will be one of only two (the other is from a music class I transferred from the community college). But I'm good with that, as long as it's passing. Keep your fingers crossed. 📑

Still waiting on that phone call telling me when I start working at the park again. I'm trying to remember when I got the call last year. I think it was in April, so I should be getting it soon. If not I will contact them and see what's up--no one else really wants to babysit the park, so it isn't like they've got someone else to do the job. 🌳

I don't need a crystal ball where my teeth are concerned; I can see the future, and it will be at least partial, if not total, dentures. My teeth, which have never been very good, are finally giving up the ghost so to speak and are crumbling. I went to the dentist a couple weeks ago and they printed off three sheets of stuff that needs to be done. They want to fix some of my teeth, but to be honest I think they'll be pulling a lot more than they think....my teeth are crumbling faster than I can fix them. I went last Wednesday in between and they pulled the first of many.  I'm having to do it a little at a time; dental work is uber expensive and I didn't fix small problems before they became larger ones. 🫤

Take care of your teeth, kids. 🦷


Spring has arrived in typical Black Hills fashion--warm(ish) and sunny one day, 2'  of snow and 2 degrees the next. I had already taken some of my winter stuff and packed it up (but not all of it, I know better!) I'm hoping it warms up for real soon so I can pack up the rest. ❄️

That's all for now! Will post photos from spring break next time!

Aye,
