Going to have to stop driving soon, I think. Get confused about where I am, losing focus on traffic, not paying attention. Caught myself approaching an intersection, had the green light and was turning my head back and forth, then forward again like we are all taught to do—and not remembering what it was I was looking out for. Turned in front of oncoming traffic starting from the green twice this week because I didn’t register that the cars were there. Dangerous. Of course, if the car is repo’d, won’t make any difference anyway. :-p
Older-mama went to library and put in several work applications. Brought the approved male friend in house to introduce. WooHoo! She is learning manners…or not. LOL Washed younger-mama’s blankets and they are hanging on the line. Getting that girl to wash clothes, blankets, sheets, or even take a shower is a mind-boggling effort. These will smell really good for awhile, at least.
Taking younger-mama and girl-child to doctor follow-up from last week. No DIL to pick up tonight, so I can put on jammies after clinic and hide with a book. Mother Hubbard until the SNAP card refill on Saturday. Let’s see: do have a can of refried beans, a can of no-meat chili, shredded Nacho-seasoned cheese, some flour tortillas, and some tortilla chips. Oh, and Louisiana-style hot sauce and pickled jalapeno slices for younger-mama, who has an asbestos mouth-lining. If I make bean burritos and/or chili cheese nachos for dinner tonight, I think they will eat it. Well, and there are some corn dogs in the freezer (bleckk). :-D
Girls are fighting over who gets to sit on the couch. You gotta be kidding me!?! Maybe I should just be glad this is the first fight they’ve had since they’ve been here? Was told they fought almost daily at the other house…but, c’mon! Sheesh.
Younger-mama is ecstatic because she has permission to let her boyfriend come to the house to ‘hang out.’ My sister knows him well and says won’t be any problems, sooo…
Roses and salvia and centaurea and clematis and coreopsis and iris all in bloom today…happy sigh…Rain overnight, then cold. Near freezing by Thursday morning. Weird. Average last frost date here is April 8, which was yesterday. The cold doesn’t concern me at all. If we get the hail and winds forecasted, THAT concerns me. Nothing I can change, just hope to sleep through it all—it is supposed to hit around 3:00AM. :-p
===============================================================
New day. Raining!! Yea!!!! RainRainRainRainRain. Happy Flower Dance. :-) Oooh, thunder, too! House just shook, but, as long as the lightning doesn’t strike the house or knock out power or anything like that, a little shaking is okay-fine with me.
Tub and toilet backing up again. Water everywhere. No money to buy more lye for the drains. I am so ready to give up.
===============================================================
New day. Sister had a little money bought more lye cleaner last night. Checked this morning and it didn’t work. Will try rest of bottle. See if they all can GO STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE! for a few days.
Gloriously gorgeous roses in full bloom today…ah…perfection. :-)
