The weather here is nice outside, but my office in the basement is still fucking cold, no matter what I do.

Best solution so far was to put a radiant space heater under the right side of my desk. This keeps my arm and mouse/trackpad hand warm, which makes a huge difference.

I'm also making sure to wear my Glerups in the house, rather than my Danner boots, because the Danners just pull up the cold from the concrete floor, and the Glerups isolate me from the cold floor.

Thursday the Yard Project starts in earnest! My Master Gardener mother is coming with a pickup truck full of plants and trees, and I have 6 yards of fresh compost to move around the yard before then.

We will then plant everything in this new gorgeous soil, which will hopefully recondition the crap soil that is underneath, and we will have a lovely yard full of food and prettiness. And a little parking slot for my car, so I can pull it off the street.

And birdbaths. Gonna have a few birdbaths, too. Saw a bird trying to bathe in the overturned lid of garbage can, the other day, and felt bad for them.

Maybe I'll put up the hummingbird feeder, too.

It's that time of year again, here in the Northern Hemisphere...
