Math has put a big fat rain cloud over me today....
UGH! I feel like crud today. My left arm feels like it's almost been yanked off. The reason why? I carried my math book all around with me this weekend hoping for even small portions of time to study for a big exam I had on Monday. Did I find time? No. Did I pay for it? Yes. Did I pass my test? No. I got a 57%. YIKES! I haven't done that bad since... well, never in my college education. It hurts. It hurts inside and I hurt outside. Note to self: when carrying something heavy, use both shoulders. If carrying a book at work, leave it in the car, you'll never even get to crack it open. I did stay for tutoring today and plan to work really hard to catch up and stay caught up. Thankfully I also found out that my grade only dropped to 81%, and I still have a homework to turn in, so I'm not in the C's yet!
And the weather isn't helping....
It's cold again. Not winter cold, but cold enough that I don't want to sit outside in it.
People are telling me to get my seeds going soon. I don't know what I want to plant! Joel was looking up renting a sod cutter this morning. I'm not sure what it's going to cost to rent. We want to start a big space this year. Even if we don't grow in all of it we can prepare some of it for next year with fertilizing and weed control. I have a friend whose offered me her seeder with plates, sounds really interesting! Might make my job easier!
I also am getting anxious to get some flowers going and clean up my flower garden. I have some weed control to do there, and also on our stone steps and stone patio (if you can call it that, it's only maybe 6'x8') where Joel put up my new love swing. I'd love to sit out on that with my BB gun and wait for that rascally gopher to pop it's head out so I can.... well, you know.... keep my yard from looking like a mine field.
But there is a silver lining...
I am so thankful that it's conference weekend! I need the upliftment! I also invited a family that lives nearby for dinner after the last session on Sunday. They have bunch of kids that are close in age to ours, and they live really close. I'm excited to get to know people in our ward better.
Small world... the lady Joel and I HT and VT knows my nephew in Oregon! crazy small world.
Sorry about your math test. :( That's great you still have a B though! I hope it gets better for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see what you plant in your garden! We have a small potted garden we do every year but I'd LOVE to one day have a big garden like it sounds like you have! I have no idea how you're going to have the time to work in it but you're wonder woman and will work it out. Have fun!!
