Christmas lights. Started a few days ago, the neighbor that is. But the clips didn't work well. So other options, various clips, were considered. The small metal and plastic clothes pins didn't work either. The magnet, on closer observation, actually might well have worked, but I simply don't have enough of them. A stick-on type was tried. Those seem to work, if what is available may be all that is available. Have to hope fifty will work.
The front edge of the roof is set up. As well, I put up the blue lights around the living Christmas trees in my front yard. They are very weak, as to wiring, easily tangled, and... I... If they last through Christmas, I will be surprised. They won't last several years? I will try to remove them with caution, and put them up. But... I just don't think these were made to last. They are up this year. Oh, and as for 47.x feet? Not a chance. If they are 18 feet I would be surprised. It is as it is.
We also looked at the damage on the roof. Not too bad. Should be an easy repair. Snow may be coming in next week, possibly this weekend, so... best to get to that. And, while out, I checked the water. The water for the rabbits was still thawed. It was just falling below thirty, so... I will put out another group of waterers for them shortly. Oh, and I had to fill the feed. They are eating like bears. Ugh.
After watering and feeding the ducks, closing up the ducks, and watering rabbits, I'll get a shower. Then being dishes and laundry. Not a lot, but I will get a load of each through, hopefully. Perhaps get another load of dishes, prepped for tomorrow, after I finish the rest. Not many dishes, I haven't been eating all that much. Mostly just the final bit of catching up, and the bits from recent endeavors.
I woke with a terrible headache. Slept with one, when I could stay asleep, too. The ribs weren't feeling well, causing me to roll all through my sleep. I couldn't get or stay warm enough... I suspect because blood sugar is coming down... it was, incredibly, 146 fasting when I woke. Last night, after all else, it was 110 several hours after my last meal. Strange. Oh, and even though I am not taking water pills, I am voiding as if I was. And I feel dry. It must be whatever I did to my internals is shaking the water out. I'm not going much, a cup at a time, but every half hour to hour... and possibly more than I can drink... which is a problem. Dehydration, probably the cause of the headache, perhaps the kidney pains. Bleh.
Anyway... I'm about to have a small meal, then tend critters. Later, or good night.
Somehow, I didn't think of you decorating your front house/yard. It sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteOnly with help, this time. If it works out, I may be set up to decorating every Christmas. It isn't that I don't want to, it's that... without help and nudges, I am... especially this year, sort of stuck. It just worked out. It is looking pretty good. A bit more to do and all will be good. I might do some indoor lighting, while at it. Just... a few windows. Uhrm, maybe.
