Which means I had to go out and stop the pond pump that sits on the bottom, so water can start layering (warm water on the bottom, earth-warmth, 3 feet down from the to-be-frozen surface.<\/p>\n
I’ve sent for another heater, the floating sort, to keep the koi’s airhole open.<\/p>\n
And otherwise, after Jane’s run-in and cat bite, she caught a stomach bug. And is impacted by the antibiotics. I think I had a touch of the bug myself.<\/p>\n
But both of us feeling good today. WOrking away. We’re finished with my birthday. Time to start planning Jane’s, and I wish there were something she greatly loved to do that won’t be frozen by the 24th. I’m going to see at least if we can’t get a rousing small party of our friends together.<\/p>\n
I don’t have PT this week: going to every second week. And I’m doing really well. Several times working around the pond, caught my foot in wire, or on a rock, or something that might, a year ago, have made me fall, and that leg is now strong enough to absorb the shock of an impact or the jerk of a caught vine or wire, and I stay on my feet. This is great. I am also now getting up and walking without even thinking about it. ‘Just walking’ is not possible for people with balance and weakness issues. And I am so glad having both legs in operation again, without having to move carefully.<\/p>\n
So—Jane and I are working on the next Alliance book. Having a good time.<\/p>\n
Wishing I could think of a good reliable place to have a birthday gathering for Jane. The most apt place would be one where she can’t eat the food. They put coffee in everything, and she’s allergic. So I’m trying to think of places that are not stuffy, not horridly expensive, and that give you room to sit together and hear each other across the table. This can be a tall bill in our local area. There’s the Steam Plant, but its food is fairly take-it-or-leave it—chef determined on ‘his way.’ And Klinkerdagger’s noisy and overcrowded. Churchill’s I’ve never been to, but is fiercely expensive: hate to do that to our friends. Quandaries, quandaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
