How Is Life On the Flipside?

Well, true, it has been over a week since I have departed from the Facebook interface.  I can't say that it has been missed much.  I do feel the reality of being out of the loop of world news, so I shall have to remedy that with some news app on my phone I suppose.  The difficulty is finding a media group without an agenda.  Oh well, that is really an impossible task so I shall just have to find one that has a spin on things the way I like. 

I also have missed the messenger once.  But otherwise, I think things have been good.

We were sick here last week with a cheery stomach bug.  All four of us succumbed at different times.  Needless to say, my toilet is fabulously clean.  I think I cleaned the bowl every other day for over a week and the seat was wiped down daily with Lysol wipes. 

That unpleasantness done with, Deereandy went back to work today and I took the kids out of the house on a little fun excursion to the indoor play area in Morden and out to lunch and ice cream. 

Winter is showing no sign of letting up, but the calendar tells me it should be vanquished within a month.  No telling in Manitoba, but I am still hopeful that dirt may show in April and shortly after buds on trees. 

Tic season will then be in swing and as I am completely repulsed by them, I am not looking forward to living here in the country with them.  I am sure I will be an expert at removal and killing by the end of June. 

But - I love being here; in the country.  It still is a dream come true even if I complain about tics and other pests in the coming days.  Bear with me.
