Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap
Guten Morgan this fine Monday. I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week. (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days. I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight. I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.) Friday was exhausting y'all. I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10. Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias. Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over. So Friday morning I got to work picking of...
Yep. That about sums it up. Exciting, no? Still, I'll take it without the added burden of having to study. It has been nice in that regard.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a while since I’ve checked in. I’ve been reading every day, but on my Chromebook which is set up to a different email address, and then I’m too lazy to log in on my laptop. So… Hi!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your Mr. on passing his test. I never doubted he would pass it, but it’s a huge burden off his shoulders (yours too). My favorite childhood book, I really liked those little abridged books and I had a bunch I liked (Heidi, Connecticut Yankee are the first to come to mind). My own kiddo loved Pinocchio, Poky Little Puppy, and Monster at the End of the Book. I wonder what happened with your lettuce, and what you can do differently next year to make it last longer. Fresh grown lettuce in the summer would be amazing.
This “worldwide time out” has been tough on everyone, and unfortunately it has brought out the previously concealed crazy in some people. Neighbors that saw each other maybe once a week, in passing, before now are seeing each other a lot because they’re all home and some of them are finding out they can’t stand each other. I feel for your neighbors, but you guys don’t need a ride on the drama train.
I’ve been staying busy with my annual deep clean/declutter. It feels like it’s going ridiculously slowly. I’m hoping to have the upstairs done by tomorrow and be able to start on the basement on Saturday. The basement is going to be ugly but I know how much better I’ll feel when it’s done.
I'm pretty sure my mailman hates me. I should put out snacks/drinks for her. I've been ordering way more than usual.
I've been thinking about you and hoping your district is taking your and your students safety into account. So glad to "see" you! I took this year as a "learning" year on the Aerogarden and glad I'll have more options for next year where annuals are concerned. Sounds like you're doing a good job on your deep clean! I wish I could say I've been as motivated!
DeleteSorry about your aerogarden. =0( That's such a disappointment. The note from your driver had to brighten you day though! We got one like that from our UPS guy this week as we have a big note on the cooler with a message for all of them. The hubs had a big grin on his face when he brought it in. The scallops looked good with how you got them to work. I cut the lawn on Tuesday and it took 1 hour 20 minutes and I re-injured the back of my knee, so that has sucked. It's an ongoing issue so I'm doing all the things I need to do for it but hobbling is the norm now. I was going to go to the grocery store today but I can't do it with this knee, so I'll be indoors today. Was very busy yesterday so I didn't get in any sleep after work so I ended up being awake for 24 hours before conking out at 6pm last night. So more napping will probably happen later today too as I'm still quite tired. Super hot and sticky here this whole week. Blech.
