Two bonus shots from 1/26/2021
We got a lovely snow storm and ended up with about 4-5 inches of snow.
View out our front window about halfway through the day (about half the snow we got) and a shot of Leia running in the backyard with Chewie.

Fat fluffy flakes for several hours and it was really nice. I got off work and drove down to Carus's work to see if she'd need help getting home. The main roads were fine so I just followed her home. Her little Kia made it fine until the top of our hill. She slid a bit and got nervous so I took over and with the help of a neighbor pushing I slid her car up and over to the curb where she parks (our driveway is too small to fit a fourth car).
Leia (and Chewie) love the snow. This little playtime showed Leia's age though - she was moving slowly the rest of the evening. I felt so bad for her. She didn't even do any of the jumping she loves to do.
For the official day 26 photo - Chewie diving off the retaining wall (it's about 2-1/2 feet tall).
When it started snowing, Leia and Chewie ran from window to window anxious to get outside.
They were so happy to go out on my afternoon break. SO HAPPY.

We still had snow so the doggies got to go play again. Leia did not really play this time.

Heading out to the barn - Carus was driving - and enjoying the sunset colors. Not a great shot, but I knew it wouldn't last until we got to the barn.

We replaced the front windows last fall and the frames still need replacing. Window frames and trim in the house have been a long term project for Robert. All of the bedroom windows are done, now for the other half of the house. And the trim. We have some BIG plans for this year in remodeling. Probably bigger than we have time or energy for, but plans all the same.
I was helping this Saturday, which was mostly just dusting and vacuuming the living room because I can't do the measurements he needs to do or the cuts to get them to fit just right. This window is not squared - it's narrower at the top, for some weird reason.

Two little windows done - now just the big window to do.

Trust Data, Not Lore
I got my second Covid vaccine. I've got the Moderna version. This second one burned going in. Still not as bad as Tetanus or MMR though!
I got dizzy about 15 minutes after the injection and stayed that way the rest of the day. I'm not convinced it was part of the vaccination and feel it's more likely associated with other heath issues I'm dealing with.
Otherwise, the injection site was sore for about 3 days and on day 1 and 2 (24-48 hours post injection) was warm to the touch and a little red. I never developed a fever, but halfway through the next day (day 1) the fatigue hit like a bus. I was so tired I had trouble keeping my eyes open. I used my sit to stand desk to stand up so I could finish work and then I just went to bed. I also felt sore all over and like I was starting to have a cold. Not really horrible, but definitely not feeling well. I also felt like I was on the verge of having a headache the whole time too. I never got the headache though. My injection was Sunday morning, felt like crap Monday, then woke up completely fine Tuesday.
I'm about a week out and everything is back to "normal". I've done my part to help herd immunity. I'm protected and I'm protecting others. Those side effects aren't any worse than any other vaccinations. Remember vaccines for babies? You have a cranky baby for a day or two cause they don't feel good and their injection site hurts. Same for adults. I recently had to get the MMR again and also Tetanus. Both burn like a bitch going in and after MMR I couldn't move my arm for like 3 days. Vaccines suck, but they keep people alive.
Cherry, the cherry shrimp.
I remembered I had a macro attachment for my lens! It's focus is more particular and the subjects need to be on the closer side (and hold still) but it was fun to play with. The shrimp are cool to watch. We'd get to watch them more if we didn't have big predators (Angel fish) swimming around making them nervous. I started the tank so we could get Angel fish (they're so pretty) so c'est la vie.
Skarimps!

We were out doing barn chores and stepped out the back of the barn to head to the manure pile and saw sunset rays breaking through the clouds.

Macro lens!
The fish are a bit harder to catch the focus right as they move more, but I got a few including this eyeball shot.

Full tank shot with hornwort that needs trimmed. The dang stuff grows fast! But I like it, the ghost catfish like hiding in it, and the shrimp (including some new babies) hide in it too, so it stays.

After the trim.
(I'm typing this up on 2/9, three days later, and the hornwort has reached the surface again.)
