…is hanging on like the last leaf on a tree in the fall.\u00a0 “No, I still have juice, I’m not ready….”<\/p>\n
I’m ready.\u00a0 Next to last stitch came out this morning.\u00a0 Last part of scab came off, too, so the furrow in my nose…shows.\u00a0\u00a0 Feels interesting, looks a bit like someone who had an accident (yes!) but not horrible.\u00a0\u00a0 A few places still have a dull sort of ache, where though the skin was only scraped, the bone under it was bruised.\u00a0 But it’s not bad.<\/p>\n
Along with that,\u00a0 more horse feed sacks full papers and old magazines have gone out.\u00a0 The supply of empty and *whole* (not rat-holed)\u00a0 feed sacks from the feed room is WAAAY down.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We both have computers up and running our familiar software (well, sort of familiar, mostly familiar) .\u00a0\u00a0 I have learned to text images taken with the phone camera: a selfie of post-injury face the day after, and one of the much improved face (minus scabs, the sold row of stitches on the upper lip, etc.)\u00a0\u00a0 Still haven’t learned how to get the images in the camera into the computer.\u00a0 Hmph.\u00a0 But the new Paint Shop Pro is close enough to the old (aside from not letting me put several images into the work space to compare side by side) that I can certainly enjoy it.<\/p>\n
The new Paksworld material (Horngard related) is coming along, over 3000 words, though I don’t know if they’re the *right* words yet.\u00a0\u00a0 I like the main character, Mardet DiAnzo.\u00a0\u00a0 And the journeyman baker.\u00a0\u00a0 And so on.<\/p>\n
Important wildlife bit of the day:\u00a0 the first yellow-billed cuckoo call\u00a0 at our place this afternoon while feeding the horses. \u00a0 Sun’s down and a cardinal started singing…no, not a mocker mocking a cardinal, the cardinal.\u00a0 Sometimes in May birds just sing any old time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
