Well, if I had done anything to speak of the last two days I might have something to write about. I did make a half assed attempt at cleaning out one section of one flower bed on Sunday. Saturday was a drizzly day and since I had been mostly sleepless Friday night mostly what I did was sit on the couch and read. I did work on updating my website both days. I'm toying with the idea of taking the etched glass off completely but the feedback I'm getting says to keep it.
I should be over
at the shop getting the raised beds in shape for the spring planting
but it's such a mess. All my hard work last year putting down the
weed cloth in between and around the raised beds is as if I hadn't
even bothered since the flood washed it all away. And I need to go
get at least one more yard of dirt to top off the beds.
Rocky
never showed over the weekend which didn't surprise me. That poor guy
is so busy he's been working 6 1/2 days a week. In the meantime I
ought to be starting some new waxes. Still have three of the four big
drowned feather pieces to cast but the kiln is surrounded by
plumerias waiting for the weather to be consistently warm enough to
put them back outside.
I
did learn yesterday that the old boyfriend through which I eventually
met Marc died and his funeral is today. Apparently he had been ill
for some time so says the son of his roommate back when I was dating
him, the guy that died, not the roommate, although the roommate is
also dead quite a few years now.
Here's
something...I no longer seem capable of remembering when to use a 'z'
or an 's' when I write.
And
something else...R and wife D got the orange plastic barrier up
adjacent to the coop so the chickens can get outside now even if they
are restricted to a smaller area. I'm thinking that the neighbor J on
the other side must have called the sheriff about R shooting at his
dog because about a week or so ago, I did see a deputy drive down the
street and another neighbor says he stopped at J's house and shortly
after that I had my encounter with R and the chickens were confined
to their coop. My complaints to R about this never resulted in that.
It's already noon and already I have accomplished nothing.
I took a walk this morning which should not have been overtaxing and now I am trying to get just a few simple household things done and I swear- I can barely move. The things I have accomplished were done so slowly that I might as well have been moving backwards. I am determined now to sweep and mop the kitchen and hallway. Between the wet weather and the construction going on, my floors are filthy. I can ignore that up to a point and then it becomes more painful to live with than to ignore. It has reached that point. I fear this may take me the rest of the afternoon.
ReplyDeletewouldn't you know? I failed to post the very first paragraph. it's there now.
DeleteThat neighbour would give me the creeps. As a rule I never accomplish anything before noon. I simply don't believe in overdoing things.
ReplyDeleteWe should go out to lunch and compare notes. I didn't sleep last night and got up at---11 am. And, don't even have a violet to show for it. Everything this year is trauma. Trump, Congress, floods and fractured skulls. Neither one of us can stand for life being stalled out, and yet it is.
ReplyDeletewould that we could Joanne.
DeleteGet with it, you are moving like I do LOL I always say it will be there tomorrow. Helping with lambs a bit.
ReplyDeleteTo be able to do absolutely nothing before noon is a real accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteI'm home sick from work today. Well, I went to work, but felt too ill to stay. Something I ate, I think, not the flu. At least I hope not the flu! I plan to spend the rest of the day crocheting, which I guess is technically getting something done, but it still feels like I'm playing hooky.
