Back to work

I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning but I knew I had to. It wasn't that it was early. I have been waking up about the same time, but I have been snuggling back down for half an hour.  Today I watched the clock until 6:25 than got out.  Got to work expecting to catch up on emails and stuff, but, oh gosh!  The system was down.  55 minutes and 3 re-boots and I got limited connection.  And what was waiting for me?  An email from the office manager asking if people were having trouble logging on.  Gee, lets send an email an ask if the computers are working!!!  They didn't get things working properly until about 1pm.  So much for catching up.    I did manage to get some things done while I was  on holidays.  The garden, the windows, the bathroom etc. but it was really windy the whole time, so a lot of outside work just didn't get done. It was very cold today, but it should warm up starting tomorrow.  Thursday is supposed to be 27!  Yesterday I cut back all the Saskatoons that were hit by spray last summer.  I had thought more branches would survive, but there were at least 4 bushes that were all dead.  The good news is that there is new growth coming from the roots.  No berries for a couple of years, but they are still a bit alive. ( Barring another dose of spray drift.)  One of the nanking cherries got hit too, which I didn't notice last year.  I will cut it back this week.  We didn't have a single fire while I was off, because of the wind.  That was a bit of a disappointment, but hopefully this week.   I am going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. 60 million on Friday. That would get me a couple of pairs of new underwear!
