Time with family this morning. Quiet afternoon, mostly, cousin called needing tinctures. She had a nasty flu bug. I needed to print new bottle labels, had to organize my templates. But, got herbs bottled, labeled and took them over. When I got home I did a complete computer sys backup while watching christmas classics on tv. More tv tonight...
 
We just got home from town with a load of lumber. Got it put away in the barn and covered up. It looks like we have snow coming tonight. The wind is picking up some and the clouds are getting dark. They're calling for up to 2 feet of snow tonight and tomorrow, and snow predicted everyday for 2 weeks.
Interesting that some place like that was open on Christmas day.
 
supposed to pick up another hay bale today, plus I need to go get an xray on my foot and shopping, busy day I wished it was done...
But first animal care. We left them out last night, because it was not supposed to freeze, now it is in the high 20s anyway. But they all have at least some sort of shelter and the goats can go in the barn anytime
 
If the weather is bad I'm staying home! I'm going to my regular today job on Sunday too. One of my regular little ladies, was going to take down her Christmas decorations today and clean her house on Sunday after I clean my building. Think I'll be doing it all on Sunday!! Storms and more heavy rain are on the way this morning!!
 
Not doing much today- heads still stuffed up. A few light chores like putting away food received in hampers. Husband made pancakes for daughters birthday breakfast- we all got her a banjo. Lovely day yesterday with family; though I can't help feeling there will be a few people not with us next year. Fantastic to see my brother after two years though! A day of reading and tv ahead.
 
Back to work today.
I forget who said they had a bird in the house…
Making the house as dark as possible by turning off lights and covering windows leaving one door open, usually will coax a bird to fly out. Have done it at home, at work.
 
Will get the house kinda picked up today...we had a big feast yesterday, cousins came. First Christmas son's gf has participated in, she said she's always heard about traditional ones and she enjoyed it. Was raised slightly Jewish...dad was, mom was a convert, but dad passed away. So that was all fun. No need to cook for awhile, fridge is packed. Plan to go into town for a bit after lunch, and also visit with my favorite cousin and her family. Son and gf leave on the 3 am train. Everyone is sleeping in, except husband and the dog and I. I don't expect movement from upstairs for at least a couple of hours.
