2013 almost gone
December 28th, 2013 10:28 pmIt's hard to believe that the year is almost over! Recently someone asked about free weekends for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daecabhir and I and after I got done laughing, I stopped to do a little figuring ... we spent 15 weekends at ren faires, two weekends in PA for pottery purposes, and another several at craft shows. Those are all weeks that my amazing husband worked 7 days straight. Life is crazy busy and while it is the life we have chosen for now, I can only hope that folks understand when we don't have much time to spare.
Speaking of pottery, I have not spent any time in my studio in a month now which is bad, bad, bad. While my business did appreciately better in 2013 than 2012, I need to work harder at getting my arse in the studio and getting my product online. Not trying to beat myself up, just trying to keep myself motivated.
Brodie continues to impress us with his quick learning. At dinner time, he got into his crate without being led; he's much better about scratching at the crate door and he is also learning not to bolt out of the crate when the doors opens. We're still having a few pee accidents in the house but we'll take that as a win. He seems to be pretty comfortable in the house and Duchess is starting to play with him a little. We're trying hard to keep her from getting jealous since Bodie is getting a lot of attention (and three meals a day).
daecabhir is getting over his stomach bug and I seem to be over the ill effects from the food poisoning. The hospital bills have yet to hit but I am sure they will be impressive when they do. Hopefully our insurance will cover the large majority. One things is for certain in the coming year, there will be no eating at Wendy's from this family.
