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...
I'm so sorry you had such a painful night, wishing your mom was there. That breaks my heart and I totally, completely understand it. The loss was smothering you right then and I know those gut-wrenching sobs. I'm so very, very sorry. I can imagine how much worse your head had to feel because it's like an anvil to the side of your head from the pressure. I hope you were able to go into a deep slumber somehow, but I know those are pipe dreams more often than not. I haven't slept in several weeks because I was taking care of our sweet pup during the night, and last night it was so still and quiet in the house I was wide awake. I didn't know what to do with myself with not being on high alert. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteNo weekend plans other than taking care of some hard stuff, working a bit tomorrow, and probably doing mindless, detached grief cleaning in that weird robotic way. I hope you guys can get through the stairs project relatively unscathed and you don't have the same aggravations as this whole week has been. DIY fairy indeed...wouldn't that be great! Come take all my junk, paint the walls, put in new flooring and countertops, and we're good to go. That's not asking too much (oh, and the big light fixtures I've had sitting in the kitchen for two years...that's be swell, too). =o)
Yeah it's been a week and I'm really sorry to hear about our friend going through that pain of losing a pet family member. Prayers go out to them for sure! Try to have a good weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteHome renovation is a nightmare. Been through it recently. Finally completed the work on the upstairs. Some interesting reading. As one who had no children I am often asked why not? Is something wrong with you? Unreal in this day and age! Maybe if those under 49 want our homes some kindness would help. After all it isn't like we have anyone to leave it to.😃 . Hope your weekend improves.
