Blustery and looking like rain (!)

Submitted entry: I’m sitting in the car typing this since Paul’s asleep and lately with all the excitement he has about being able to walk he tends to forget naps and if woken up early from one he won’t go back to sleep. We just got back from a meeting Sage had on the watersheds project. She’s being a design consultant for their web site so once again we’re able to get what we need when we need it. I didn’t want to worry anyone but I wasn’t sure just how soon it’d be before we had the money for the chimney. This job pretty much took care of that today - or at least put us in easy striking distance of it. That’s the last big necessary project the two of us have to do. And just FYI, I wasn’t truly worried - we could always borrow the money we needed but we wanted to do it ourselves if we could.

So that’s been the majority of the day for us - getting there and back. Sage went back to the yurt to work on her latest bag.

Yesterday was a big town trip day. We were out of everything so we hit all the stores - health food, grocery salvage and regular grocery. At the health food store we ran in to Casey who had left for town earlier unbeknownst to us. She was having a lovely time in town. Then I ran into another friend of ours, the owner of the health food store’s son and we blabbed a bit.

While we were in town it looks like we might have another smallish job helping Teeter Creek Herbs get e-commerce set up on their site (shopping cart and credit card processing). I’m glad to help them, especially after the owner helped us so much in pulling Karma through his case of cytauxzoonosis.

The trip was largely uneventful after that with the exception that I found a few packets of Starbuck’s coffee at the grocery salvage store for $0.69/each which kind of made my day. It’s been a while since I’ve had Starbucks and was it ever good!

Last night was a quiet night at home. Sage crocheted while I cleaned up and watched the baby. Then I made a batch of Jamaican barbequed beans (recipe in another entry when I’m near my cookbook and notes) and rice and started a batch of buckwheat pancakes going (they ferment throughout the night and are cooked the next day).

So that’s where I’m going to leave it for now. Paul seems to be waking up so I should go.

The Pizza Mart is sad that I’ve moved away.
