I am so tired right now, and the view outside distorted by the fog pressing up against the windows matches the state of my brain perfectly.

An update:

House stuff:
Chris finished putting the drywall in the rec room, and has started mudding it. We hope to get that room done in the next month or so, so we can then install the flooring. My study is about 90% done, with just the ceiling, window casing, and trim in the closet left to do.

Garden stuff:
I neglected my gardens this year, with good reason. I only planted my gardens the day I went into labour, so I was a little occupied all summer, plus the weather was not optimal. I weeded and mulched the front garden on the weekend, so it looks a lot better. My little square foot garden beds are currently producing carrots, pole beans and tomatoes. My bush beans have new flowers on them – a third crop before the frost? Unlikely, but they are going to give it a try! Next year I have plans to construct raised beds as the soil really isn’t good for gardening. I am amazed at what the gardens produced this year, neglected, so I have great hopes for next year.

Next up I need to dig some holes for roses that I have ordered that are due to arrive in late November for planting. I am really excited to see those next year. I also want to plant some more fruit trees and get some gooseberries and currants.

Baby stuff:
Vix is going great guns, and turned four months old yesterday! She is going through some kind of spurt/leap/teething monstrosity right now which means she is not sleeping well and I am paying the price the past couple of weeks.

She goes today for her four month check-up and vaccinations, so I am sure she is going to feel rotten this afternoon. Extra cuddles will be in order. I got her to laugh for the first time on Saturday night, which was awesome. She is a very happy, content little girl in general, which is nice.

Me stuff:
I have been having a hard time dealing with motherhood and not being at work, and so I have decided to do some things to combat that. I want to get back to writing, and I have signed up for two weightlifting sessions at the gym. I hope that things will get better soon with sleep and the like, because the first 3 months kind of sucked hard.
