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 from using harsh chemical weed killers, but I'm about to go get the strongest stuff they sell.
Then I decided to clean my oven, and couldn't get the damn childproof cap off the can of oven cleaner. It is one of those you have to squeeze while pulling up on the cap. I could never get the cap off. That is a real complaint as a person gets older - my hands don't have the strength to deal with child proof caps. On things like mouthwash I just don't screw the cap on tightly enough for it to catch.
While I'm griping I have to say that I'm getting really tired of Do-Wop music shows. Public TV has a pledge week about once a month during which they feature special artists and shows. They are pretty top heavy on Do-Wop in my estimation. I don't think it was all that great the first time around, and maybe for a bit of nostalgia a few decades later it would be ok, but I think it's really overdone on PBS. Some of the artists can still sing, but others are terrible and there's no other word for it.
I'm going to stop while I'm ahead - just a minute ago I thought I lost my whole post, but luckily it had been saved in Draft. I wanted to end with something on a positive note, but I think I'd better quit before anything else happens.
- Still Battling Weeds!
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,...
- 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...
- Haircut
The only thing I've done today was to get a haircut. So when I got back home I decided to tackle the weeds, pulling the big ones and then using the spray. I made a dent in the job but still have a long way to go. When I came inside...
- Putting My Energy To Use
I didn't want to waste all this energy I seem to have, so after two loads of laundry done I decided to clean. My house is a complete wreck, with clutter everywhere and dust that shows when the sunbeams shine in. So what do you think I...
