a little hiatus

I've taken a break from things.  But life, aside from the last week or so has been pretty good, albeit a little stressful.  I've taken on more responsibility at work and got a promotion.  I love where I work, it was truly kismet that I found Apothecary when I did.

This past week has been a little crazy making.  My FIL has been in the hospital since last Wednesday and hasn't been doing well.  We thought we had lost him for good several times.  It's been an insanely emotional week.  I hesitate to get overly optimistic, but the progress that's been made in the last 24 hours is positive.  I hope it continues in the upward swing.

Since, I've been on hospital grounds, I've seen a lot of shoots and buds coming out of the soil.  This makes my heart happy, because that means that sunshine and warmer weather is on the horizon, which means, open windows and animal disembowling!  MY goal is to completely clean out my freezer this Spring/Summer, which means lots of maceration and mounting of skins.  I may have duplicates of bones if anyone is interested in doing some trading along the way.

I am going to get down to the ferret project finally in a couple of weeks.  That is the least crazy making of projects, at least initially.  Just a little update to keep y'all in the loop...
