And the car is down again

At the bottom of the road, that is. The clay is just a bit too slippy to get good traction on it without tire chains or 4x4, and since my car is a compact, not only does it NOT have 4x4, but the tires are too small for tire chains. So I rode up with hubby last night and will be cutting things short today in order to ride down with him, since the weather has decided to turn to rain. The temperatures are nice for the most part, staying well above freezing now day and night. It is definitely early spring in the Ozarks! You know what that means! I get out my little mini-greenhouses and see if I can start any of those Arkansas Traveler tomato seeds I saved last year. I think this year I will stick with tomatoes, and hubby really liked snacking on them, so we shall see. With no running water and he still is not working at all on the cistern to get at least water for a garden, so I am kind of stuck with no big garden like I would like. Again.

We got a letter from DISH yesterday, his TV service provider. As everything is going high-definition, and we have all old stuff, they are going to bring us out all new stuff. New dish, receiver and remote control. He will be happy, I am sure. Me, what TV I watch, I watch online anyhow. This is a good thing for him, as it keeps him entertained and sometimes out of my hair when I am trying to accomplish things.

Tink's kittens have all discovered the bed is a great place to be. It is soft and comfortable and they like it. We are going to have to get a tarp, however, to put on it and to sleep under. They also are not quite litter box trained, so the microfiber comforter is rather worse for wear from this past week. They have been having accidents ON it, which we've had to clear up, but which have left marks on it. There is going to be a lot of laundry this weekend, that is for sure! This morning is the first morning all week that we have not woken up to kitten piles on the bed, lol. Instead, there are kitten piles on the bathroom floor near the litter box. At least they are trying, and from the looks of the box, they are starting to make it. The tarp is going to be for future accidents and for when Raffle's kittens get to the same stage. I would rather sleep under a noisy tarp than to have to do major laundry all the time for weeks. But it is kind of funny to see a bunch of kittens wrestling on the bed while I work.

Speaking of which, time to pull together to ride with hubby. With the road in the condition it is in, and the rain, I am not going to take the car. If I do not feel well for some reason, I can always sit down in the break room and do some embroidery, or I can go out to the truck and cover up with the blanket for a nap. Speaking of naps, I think I will take one myself ... in the truck, once we are at work and parked! Hugs and love, all!
