What I'm Reading This Week #23
Hello there! We made it to Friday. Halleluyer! Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week? No thanks. Oh yeah, you know what's fun? When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes. 😤 So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises. Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks. I mean for real, who sells those? I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes. So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything. Oh then yesterday, I went out to water after a super hot day and brought the tape out in case I saw nasties on the leaves. Well, I'll sp...
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.
