Catching up on odds and ends


I got my hair cut short(er) this morning, and now I wish I had asked the hairdresser to cut it even shorter.  I want something that looks nice with little care, but I'm not sure this is it.  I'll live with it, as I will not be entering any beauty contests for the next few months!

I spent a back-breaking 45 minutes pulling weeds and spraying what I couldn't easily pull out of the ground.  I will talk it over with Joe and Steve when I return later in the summer, and see if they have any ideas about controlling the grass and weeds.  I will have to decide whether to try to find someone to give this place to, or else I'll have to spend some money revitalizing it.  I sure hate to spend $$ on the outside when so many things need replacing and fixing indoors.

It is 81 degrees at about 4 pm and very uncomfortable.  I don't want to bother with the swamp cooler or opening all the windows when I'll just have to shut down and close up in less than a week.

My car still needs to go to the car wash - maybe tomorrow morning.  I keep putting it off, but if I get it done now it will be yellow with pollen in a day or so anyway.  Now it is super dirty AND covered with pollen.

When I went to pay my April rent this morning I told the Park manager that I was trying to keep up with weed & grass removal, but that I planned a complete redo of the yard later on in the summer.  I worked at the library this morning, and when...

- Walking Wounded
I have been wounded by an oleander bush!  I was pulling some grass and weeds from around the bush and jammed my forearm into a thick wood branch that had been blunt cut.  I need to get some sort of power saw that I won't kill myself with,...

- Haircut
I walked into a hairdresser salon this morning to get my hair cut.  It was last trimmed in late March, before I left Sacramento, and I was looking pretty shaggy.  Since I won't be able to see my regular hairdresser until early July I decided...

- Some Days Nothing Goes Right
I'm having one of those days where I can't seem to accomplish anything.  I went out to pull a few weeds and was shocked to see that I now have more than I did yesterday.  The grass and weeds are outpacing me!  I was trying to keep...

- No Patience For Waiting
I really try but have difficulty waiting for something I want.  I am not a person who is always wanting things or desiring more than I need, but when I order something I want it to be delivered quickly.  That's why I really don't like...
