Spring cleaning

[beetiger]

The beehive is not really in the state I wanted it, but it is good enough that if I got a call tomorrow saying my bees were here, I'd have somewhere to put them. So that call could come anytime now, please :) Also, I do have enough materials to get a first level started on a second hive, so if a swarm wants to move in to this one before I get that call, that would be just fine with me, Universe.

Really in a one step at a time, one foot in front of the other place right now. Monday, I attended a medically required C-section, over 8 weeks early, for a client I didn't expect to serve until June. It wouldn't have been my top choice to be back in the hospital quite so soon after dealing with my mother in the ICU, but life is what it is, and the baby is doing well in the NICU.

This week is full of things to do -- taxes, book reviews, dealing with family and the beginnings of estate stuff -- and low on mental and emotional energy. But I'm doing what I can, and trying to be gentle on myself.

I've never wished for someone to get a swarm of bees before.

....at least, not benevolently.

Sounds like you're taking the right approach. *hugs* One step at a time, and it'll get done.

I'm glad to hear that the baby is doing well, and I hope your bees arrive soon. It sounds like you could use some new-life energy right now!

I was like this when My best friend Dale passed away in '00 of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Busyness helps a lot. for me, mixed drinks helped too. I could down them, and all it would do is stifle the crying jags that were coming every 15 minutes or so. Once I got past that, (spread them out to half hour, then hour) being the counter person at a busy place helped. didn't have much time to think. But you have family to help you during this time, hugs will help.
Time helps too, but Very slowly. Vicky, I only met you the once when you came to Oregon, but I do want you to know I share some of that kind of pain. hope this lessens it for you.

I've been thinking of you. Maybe having to do something intense at the hospital was like getting back on the bike, you know? Give yourself a break when you need to mourn and when you need to be angry and when you just need to not think about it. *hugs* Miss you.
