Let the sun shine in

maystoneThe past two days have been lovely, with bright sun, mild temperatures and cool breezes. It's not going to last too much longer, so I'm enjoying it while I can.
You'd think that our uber pregnant alpacas would take advantage of the gorgeous weather to have their crias already, but you'd be wrong. Dar and I are out there looking for signs: did Conchita just jerk her tail up? Did Gertie just have a contraction? Oooh, look - she's on the poo pile! That's the biggie - frequent trips to the poo pile. We spend an inordinate amount of time watching them poo, half expecting to see "nose and toes" following right behind. So to speak.
I did the all of the outside chores tonight by myself for the first time in months. (Dar was out helping Oliver.) Usually I have to leave something unfinished, but tonight I was able to bull my way through. I'm not saying I wasn't tired and hot and dripping sweat by the end, but I did it, and it felt great. I'm down to just 5mg of prednisone a day, and I think that has something to do with it. I still have loads of aches and pains, but I don't feel as sick as I was feeling on the higher doses. My legs are still wobbly, but again not to the degree that they used to be. Now if I can get past the fatigue, I might be able to rescue some of my old life, and won't that be grand :)
Have you seen the line-up for the new season of The Amazing Race? I am so rooting for the hippie couple. I've named them Team Deadhead :) There's also a geek team made up of a couple guys into comic books who met at a scifi con. Dar said that one of the guys is the showrunner for ComicCon. Woo!
The buzz is that Obama is going to name Hillary as his VP. I'm surprisingly excited about that considering that when it was first brought up as a possibility I thought it was a bad deal for her. But if she's happy, I'm happy. Assuming she's his pick, of course, and it isn't Biden. Not that I would mind Biden.
Aaaand Sleep just came up and whacked me across the head. Night all.
