How Time Flies

I can't believe it has been over a week since I posted to my blog. Can I possibly be that busy?

Actually, it has been a crazy week. My Mom was in the hospital ER on two different nights and they finally admitted her Wednesday with pneumonia and a 101.5 fever. Not good. They got the fever under control and ran all of the other standard lab tests and body scans and finally sent her home Friday. She's got quite a collection on antibiotics and inhalers to take now.

Work just seems to stay busy busy busy. There is absolutely no getting ahead anymore. Even if you do go in on Saturday for 3 or 4 hours. Just doesn't seem to put a dent in it. And it's not just me - anyone you talk to is up to their elbows in alligators. And the City, as of today, has implemented a hiring freeze so any vacant positions won't be filled for 6 months. That could hurt a lot of folks. Luckily, my co-worker and I had already filled one vacant position and she interview this week for the other one. We'll be ok for now, I guess. We have no other choice.

It's already March - can you believe that? I really don't know what happens with my time. Month after month just keeps tickin' off faster and faster. Time is just flying! But I'm ready for a tad warmer weather (spring would be fine - I don't want to go from 35 outside to hazy, hot and humid overnight!) so we can get back in the yard and start cleaning and sprucing up. We have our entire front yard to re-do since we graded it last fall. Had to take a tree down and the yard was actually two levels with a 3-4 high layer of landscape timbers separating them. So, when the damaged tree came down, we graded the whole thing. Now it is a nice, big, flat, green canvas to do something with. Better get my design books out!

Daffodils are in bloom and the Robins are getting active so I guess spring isn't that far behind.

Happy March everyone.
