Day 70: Septic and Shopping

Today is septic service day. I pity the poor guy that has to get down there to the septic tank; due to all the rain I haven't gotten the grass cut down, and I know the guy will turn up before we even have the kids breakfast finished.

I'm trying to come up with new storage options in our pantry. The way we have it set out now just isn't working for me. I need to fix it. I like being able to see what's in the pantry. At the moment, everything is stacked on top of each other. So definitely not the best.

Still working on sorting through all my semi done stories. I still haven't found the two I actually first started looking for, which is a bit of a bummer. So for now, I'm going to put them out of my mind and concentrate on the ones I did find.

Until tomorrow, remember: Sometimes it's okay to give up & try again tomorrow.

Day 69: Doctors & School

 

Graceful has doctors today, and then her and Hurricane are back at school. Which is good because I don't think I could handle another day of them being home sick.

Also going through and writing up the grocery list for shopping tomorrow. making sure I don't forget anything... or, stock up on stuff that I have ten-ton of. Something I am very guilty of doing every shopping day.

I worked a bit more on sorting out Hayden Falls. As I'm re-reading through them, I'm writing down characters and how they are all connected to each other. I need it on hand, because I need to know who belongs to what family and where they all work. The reason I'm doing this is because that in the two stories related to Haydn falls in each story same characters; but some of them I changed names or other details about them... and in one family I had an extra brother... I need to know this shit.

Until tomorrow, remember: It's okay to write shit down ~ our memories aren't as good as we think.

Day 68: Character Building

 

Today I'm character finding for two of my stories that I didn't even realize crossed over until I re-read them. So now they became two stories in a series (Hayden Falls). I have no clue who any of the pictures are of... but they just caught my eye for characters... This beautiful woman is my Nikki; one of my main characters... she is actually the first person I found and wrote the character around her looks.

I weighed in today 104.7kg.

It's raining today... supposed to rain all week. I love the rain, but it gets annoying when I need to get stuff done outside... like whipper snip around the septic tank... which I need to get done in the next three days.

I've been watching Home Town. I love Ben & Erin. They make everything look good. sometimes I'd use different colours or tiles, but hey... that's just me. I don't like anything if it looks too busy.

Graceful and Hurricane are both home sick for school. Driving me nuts because they are getting on each other's nerves and whining/fighting a lot. Then Hurricane and Monsoon, snuck out and got on the trampoline in the rain; and couldn't work out why me and their mum was cranky at them.

Until tomorrow, remember: Life is what you make it ~ just remember to do your best.

Day 67: Soundtrack Sunday (My Era)

 

Until tomorrow, remember:

Success is not final ~ Failure is not fatal.

It's the courage to continue that counts.

Day 66: Black Boxes & Garage

I'm going to have to re-dig through my black tubs to see if that's where I saw my story snippets. I tell you. It's driving me crazy. So, this is my chore while the girls are at swimming. I'll have an hour to get the job done before they are home again and annoying me... by annoying I mean they will want to pull everything out and look at it = not going to happen. If they aren't in the black tubs, I'll have to admit defeat. Admit I must have accidentally thrown them away.

 

while I'm out in the garage. I'll see if there is a better way of storing everything ~ setting everything out. As I would still like to get the ride on mower in the garage at some stage. I still think there is a better way. maybe even put the dryer up on the chunky coffee table as that would get the coffee table out of the road. I know anyone reading this has absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, but I do and sometimes I just need to talk shit out.

Until tomorrow, remember: Never regret anything that made you smile

Day 65: Chore Day #2

 

Today I have to go through and clean out all the fridges and freezers. They all need a good wipe out. I hate it when it gets left too long and the bottom end up full of crumbs and bits of crap. or when stuff gets spelled on the fridge shelves and they get all sticky. So, I'm trying to go through and clean them at least every two weeks. Sometimes more if they need it.

Doing this also helps me keep track of just what we have in all the freezers etc. That way I'm not over buying. Though mainly If I'm not going to eat it, I give it to my neighbour across the road. he has a pig. I know it won't go to waste.

I also need to whipper snip the walk through and the driveway today. just to keep that grass down nice and low.

I have a bad headache today. It's one of those ones that zips all over like a tight skull cap. Tonight, I'll take a stronger pain pill and hopefully it will abate while I'm sleeping.

Until tomorrow, remember: If captured by the Faries ~ turn your clothes inside out and it will confuse them enough for you to escape.

Day 64: Still Looking

 

You guessed it, I'm still looking for my story snippets. I just wish I knew where the hell they were. Absolutely annoying the freaking crap out of me because I want to look at them so badly. If I wasn't looking for them. They would be the first things I'd find. But no. Life decided to be a bitch and throw a spanner in the works.

I'm mowing the house yard and tank yards today. at least with having double the batteries I won't have to stop for an hour in the middle and wait for a recharge. I might even charge up the Ryobi mower and get the front mound done as well.

Also, since we've had a bit of rain, I'll have to go into the toy greenhouse and empty out the tubs as I noticed they are half full. They probably have frogs/toads in them. Meaning my daughter won't go near them ~ just in case.

Until tomorrow, remember: It's not about winning or losing, it's about how you play the game.
