Just Chillin’
Today it is breezy, cool but sunny. It will be getting hot by the end of the week, but we’ve had a lot of cool weather. I got up early to take Bean to the orthodontist at 8:15, only to find out her appointment is Tuesday. I tried to call ahead of time, but they weren’t in the office until 8. I came home and planted a bunch of iris bulbs that a friend dug up from her garden yesterday. Unfortunately I’m now reading that they are best planted in July, August or September, and they need well drained soil. I planted them in a very wet spot, which apparently will lead to root rot. It’s fine, I guess I’m just experimenting anyway at this point. I also planted one of my tomato plants in an area that gets sun, but can have some shade, and will get watered on its own. The others will stay in their pots, I’ll hopefully continue to water them, and I’ll see how it all turns out.
Both the girls are sick just a bit. Bean has been complaining of a real stomach ache for several days. Real in that her stomach actually hurts, not the nebulous I don’t want to go to school or I’m really hungry stomach aches she normally gets. Then this morning Bug threw up, and apparently got light-headed enough to fall down. She said that normally her vision gets darker when she feels light-headed after standing up, but that didn’t happen this time, and then she was on the floor. But she seems fine now, and since I had a stomach ache and felt pretty nauseated a few days ago, I’m guessing it’s all related.
