Black Monday . . .

Dark outside and pouring rain with no sign of letting up.  Flood warnings in the area, the whole 9 yards.  No thunder, no wind, just rain.  Has cooled it some so that's good.  Mother is sitting there with the heater on.  I didn't feel well when I got up but I took some ibuprofen and an allergy pill so I'm much better.  Actually I just realized I'm much better :).  Had some strange dreams last night no recall.  Didn't sleep well though.  I'll make pulled pork bbq sandwiches with fries for lunch.  Quick and easy.  Rain is supposed to let up on Wednesday I guess that's when my schedule will kick in to action.  Nothing much I can do when it rains.

Busy Day Tomorrow . . .

Definitely will I have to do laundry tomorrow.  Hope to do a little more, some outside if I can muster the energy.  I need to fill the bird feeders and clean and fill the birdbath.  I guess I'll need to water plants too.  One of our gardenia trees is in full bloom, just white with blooms and smells so good.  I noticed a bloom on our flying dragon bitter chinese orange tree too, will go out tomorrow and take a closer look.  At last count 3 persimmons remain on the tree, 1 more than last year.  Still a bunch of figs on the fig tree but we sure do have a lot of bluejays hanging around.  Never a good thing but fortunately enough there for everyone.  Rest of the garden is faring well, I put pictures up on my garden blog, I can report, I do believe, my tuberous begonia is beginning to bloom again after her 2nd torturous fall!  So happy!  2 blooms I do believe!  We'll see.  On that I'll go, about to tuck in and fall asleep to Jessica Fletcher solving more murders.

Lack of Sleep . . .

I feel like I got all of 2 minutes of sleep last night.  I could not get comfortable, the puppies drove me nuts, first I was cold then hot, it totally sucked.  Our security light has been out, I called the light company to get it fixed.  They are sending someone out to fix it.  I don't know anything about them so wasn't sure how to approach it but I must have done well, someone will come out to fix it.

I have a lot to do and very VERY little motivation to get anything done.  It's too hot, there is too much, and I just can't get up and go.  The not sleeping certainly doesn't help.  My shoulders are sore I don't know what's up with that I THINK it's the way I sit up before falling asleep.  I need one of those pillows with arms people get to lean against to watch tv or read.  I'm also thinking seriously of taking my desk lamp back from Mother's room she's not using it and I could be.  If it ain't one thing it's another.

I better go though, see about doing SOMETHING, I'm eyeing my coloring books as if I might start another coloring project, I've 2 that I've abandoned already.

Not Sure About Today . . .

It's rained and is apparently not done.  So laundry is out.  I'll do breakfast and go from there.  Had a disturbing dream that has prompted me to stop procrastinating.  My back is sore, that's pretty much a morning thing now I don't know what the deal is.  But I'll have a productive day today, I'm just bored enough to do it.  

Cupboard's Bare . . .

So Mom, knowing the car is broken down, knowing I can't get to the store till payday and I get a ride until the car is repaired, ate all her sausages, used up all her cream so now I'm going to be out of creamer for my coffee and she has NOTHING for breakfast tomorrow.  Life is just amazing some days.

It rained a lot last night, I'm worried about Cupcake she was out in it and I don't know where she is but I'll have to wait to go out and find her.  I don't think it's over yet.

So that's where we are now and well, it just ain't that great right now.

Trouble . . .

We're being harassed by Mother's insurance company and I'm not quite sure what to do about it.  I need to put a lawyer on retainer I guess.

In other news I got the internet fixed I got a 50' ethernet cord and that solved the problem beautifully.  I'm resourceful that way.  I'm back to my weekly broadcasts, though I had to bail on Saturday's because the race ran late and I had to grocery shop and wasn't back in time and was beat when I did get back.  So that was that.  Back to it on Thursday.

Otherwise the weather is just great and I want to get going on planting but I don't know we have this damned tent caterpillar infestation and that's not good I don't know when they'll die out but I can't trust them around new growth so I don't know what to do, they already defoliated my crepe myrtle.  I just don't know.

So on that I guess I'll go, nothing but trouble these days please let this cycle end soon!

Rain and More Rain . . .

It's been raining daily and I really need it to stop so I can get some laundry done.  I'll get my chance tomorrow I believe.  Hope so all sheets, nightgowns, clothes all need washing.

The internet is acting up in spite of being up 24/7 now.  It's slow to load and netflix has been a real pain, just now got to start watching more Midsomer Murders thought it never would start.  Glad it did though I love that show.

We had a lovely dinner today, pork roast, green beans and carrots.  I've been craving carrots something fierce lately.  I've enjoyed them.

Well on to the morrow then perhaps the rain will stop, though it's puddly and muddy now, I'll persevere.
