Day 63: Play List Time

 

Day 62: New Tyres

 

I finally got around to getting my new tyres, and a wheel alignment. One of my major chores for the year done. I had Monsoon with me; so, we ended up taking a walk down to Woolworths, which is 2 blocks away. She loved pushing all the buttons on the crosswalks and stopping to look at a stick insect that was on the footpath. We also stopped to look at the kangaroos who were resting in the paddock next to the shopping centre. we also ran into Monsoon's favourite cousin/aunty. So, she was happy about that. while we waited for her mum to come and pick us up, we got the few things we needed from the shop. And a snack because all that walking made Monsoon hungry.

Hurricane: got an academic award on parade this morning. Hence the reason I had Monsoon with me while their mum was at school parade watching Hurricane.

Working on a new story idea, as yet it is untitled. But I need to get the thoughts down while they are still in my head. If I wait too long, I will forget all about them. It has happened to me before. where I've thought I've written them down and haven't. It annoys the f*ck out of me. My words of wisdom for today: write it down = nobody's memory is that great.

Day 61: 1st Eisteddfod of the Year

 

I have Monsoon and Hurricane for the morning, while Cyclone is off doing her thing. she came home with a pennant and 3 medals. Very proud of her. Hurricane ate me out of house and home. I don't understand how someone so small/tiny can eat so much... she eats more than I do.

The weather is weird today; it's as hot as, but real windy at the same time. the girls and I spent tome watering the plants and deciding if we need to move them. I have Parsley and Birdseye Chillies growing.

the girls have been drawing me pictures all morning. I couldn't get any work done while they are here, so I spent the day reading; because wherever they are working, they need me to be. Not because they're clingy, but because I don't like it when they go silent. It usually means they are up to no good.

Monsoon was playing hide and go seek by herself. I found her a few times sitting in my utility cupboard in the pantry. When I asked her what she was doing. She told me to shut the door again because she was hiding. Whatever floats her boat.

Day 60: Sleepover Day

And by sleepover, I mean Hurricane and Monsoon are spending the night at my house. Means I'll have a crappy night's sleep. And will have to endure watching Minions... and Captain Underpants again.

At least with Hurricane being sick yesterday, she should go to sleep early, and Monsoon isn't quite over her cold so I'm hoping she'll nod off at a reasonable time as well.

Not that they are annoying, it's just they both want to sleep in my bed with me, and the pair of them are bed hogs. I'll more than likely end up on the couch, while they have my bed.

Grandkids: You gotta love them.

Cyclone; well she had to get new jazz shoes for her big day tomorrow. she's just excited to have a night off from her sisters. She tells me they can get a little noisy... I think because they turn their listening ears off.

Day 59: Washing Machines.

My daughter's washing machine has a blockage. So it looks like I will be doing double duty with mine until she gets it sorted out. seeing as she has 3 kids, she doesn't want to let it build up. Especially because Hurricane was sick last night and vomited over everything.

Weirdly washing is one of my favorite chores to do. Everything goes in dirty and comes out smelling and looking so clean.

On the bright side it gives me time to read in between loads. I'm still reading, Sherrilyn Kenyon's: Dark Hunter series. I forgot how much I enjoy these books. Well worth the re read.

I have a mad headache today, and my back is twinging a touch, but nothing to really complain about.

Day 58: More Cleaning

 Why is it on days when you're as tired as all get go... the cleaning chores seem to take freaking forever to do.

1> I cleaned the air fryer again... one of the hardest things to clean. I have one that looks like a mini oven. I got most of it clean, but I'll have to do it again soon. If you all know of something that is an easy hack, feel free to let me know.

2> I also wiped over all my pantry doors. they seem to get grubby handprints on them all the time. annoying as hell.

3> I cleaned out my plasticware and glassware drawers, so everything sits in their just a little bit neater.

4> I also had to buy new frying pans. I'm not saying I forgot to turn off the stove... but I did burn the a*se end out of my big frying pan. Lesson learned always check the stove. 

Day 57: Sore Finger and other stuff

 

Don't you just hate it when you hurt yourself and you have no clue at all of how it happened. Today I realized the tip of my right index finger is as sore as hell. And why is it when you have something like that you are always bumping, and or, touching it and making it feel worse than it already is... Yeah, well that's my life today. Well, actually, it started hurting late yesterday afternoon.

I'm going to go and see about new tyres for my car while I'm downtown today... That's my big chore. The ones I have now are wearing out fast.

I also have to Pick up mum's medication from the chemist and fit in a bit of grocery shopping somewhere. Full agenda. I'm trying to get it all done today, because on Friday I have Cyclone sleeping over, and then on Saturday I have Hurricane sleeping over. Monsoon is going to sleep over at her favourite Aunt's (Second cousin) house. Friday I will be either watching Wednesday, or Stranger Things... and on Saturday; it will more than likely be Captain Underpants, or Buzz Lightyear. I'll have to make sure my Kindle is fully charged.

I'm not sure I'll get any writing done on either of those days... But that's okay as it will give me more time to read Sherrilyn Kenyon.
