Day 91: Unexpected Sleepover

 

Today I had Hurricane and Monsoon after school, because Aunty Yace was flooded in. Lucky for me both girls fell asleep. Hurricane work up, when her mum and Cyclone pulled up after dance practice. Monsoon didn't. So, guess who's getting a sleep over.

They were a bit miffed that it was still raining so they were still stuck inside. Yes, while Hurricane watched her videos on my phone. I was stuck watching Twirly Woos with Monsoon. Also, about three hours of her laying on me, sticking her face in mine and asking, "Can I get a Chee Hoo." Over and over while laughing her head off. All I can say is thank God I'm having trouble with Disney+, or I'd be stuck watching Moana 2 over and over.

I worked on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes with Kisses... in longhand.

Also watching murders in LA and NYC and how they caught them... very interesting. Some I even remember being on TV. Or I recognise the people in the episodes.

Day 90: April Already

 Today I started the day off by taking mum to her podiatry appointment. The technician was 20 minutes late; then on the way home I realized why, because mum and I got caught in roadworks for 30 minutes... a freaking pain in the ass.

Finally got home and had Monsoon waiting for me, because she didn't want to be at home while her mother tried to mow before the rain comes back this arvo. She ended up staying with me from 11am, to just after 5:30 pm when Hurricane and Cyclone finished swimming lessons... Do you understand how many times I had to watch The Minions and Twirly Woos.

Though after she left, I watched a doco on the white hats... a group of people who rescue others in the war. That one was both interesting and very sad. I would hate to live through anything like that.

I didn't get writing done today because I also had to spend most of the time reading Where's Santa's Elf while Monsoon searched for everything that needed to be found... longest 6 hours of my life.

Day 89: Miss Sassy Pants

 

Today I had Hurricane after school while her sister, Cyclone was at dance practice. Monsoon was visiting her Aunty Yace. And of course, it's still raining so it's as boring as hell. Let's just say Captain Underpants was watched. Though she did appreciate that I had her a big bowl of garlic potatoes and salami slices to snack on (weird combination I know).

I did have Monsoon in the morning while her mom was attending school parade, then she went home. I gave her some wipes and let her wipe over all the kitchen cupboards she had a blast.

Today while working on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes with Kisses. I watched a couple of documentaries. One was on Charles Manson. for the life of me I can't figure out what made people follow him so blindly. The second one I watched was on Spies and their gadgets and how they got caught out. It was interesting and I saw just how cruel certain people/countries were when it came to warfare like that. I would never have wanted to be a spy. You can probably tell I'm just slowly making my way through all the docos on the Netflix list.

Day 88: Chores Day

 Today I have been on a cleaning kick. I'm trying to keep on top of everything. My main chore for today where... 

1) Go and buy a new microwave, because the insides started peeling in mine and it was sparking up a storm. 

2) I cleaned the air fryer, toaster, and kettle.

3) I also rearranged some of the pantry.

4) I did 3 loads of washing

5) Swept out twice.

I wasn't feeling the best today, so, I was surprised I got as much done as I did.

I also worked on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes comes with Kisses, because that's the story that's currently talking to me. It's easier to work on what feels right then to force a story that's not quite fully formed in my mind yet.

And yes, it's still raining on and off.

Day 87: Happy Birthday, Cyclone.

 

Turning the 7

I hope you have an awesome party.

Day 86: Sleepover Day

Tonight, I have the three granddaughters sleeping over. Their mum wants to be able to make Cyclone's birthday cake and wrap the presents in peace.  So, it means I have to put up with them. Fighting over who gets to sleep in the bed and who has the blow-up mattress. I bet I end up on the couch again.

I'm really tired today... everything aches. I can't even tell you what hurts the most, because it all hurts... getting old sucks.

Today I'll be cleaning out under both the kitchen and bathroom sinks. As I want to find out what cleaning products I have, what is almost out, and needs restocking, or what I have in abundance.

I also have to vacuum the couch off, to get the cat hair off. Even though I have pets, I still like to make sure that they don't shed too much. It only takes a few moments of my time to get it done.

Today I will also clean the bathroom out... My house just seems to get really dusty. It's a never-ending chore to get on top of it. The wet weather isn't helping; it just makes everything feel damp and the dust sticks to it.

Also going to try and get some work done on Woden's Wolves 3: When Everything Shattered.

Day 85: Little Things

 

Today I have Monsoon come and stay with me while her mum is off at work (the teacher's aide one). So today she is going to help me do my chores.

We are going to be rearranging my kitchen drawers = put everything where they are meant to go. Nobody but me seems to put things back where they go.

Weare going to wash off the front verandah wall. it would seem my three granddaughters have spilt something all over it. So, it has to come off before the ants descend upon us.

We're going to restock the baskets under my TV it's where I keep all the wipes, spare notebooks, socks, grandkid's clothes, and spare bedding for my room.

We're going to tidy out the fridge and freezer. Again, people need to learn where everything goes. I might be a little OCD when it comes to those sorts of things. I swear to God people put them in the wrong place just to mess with me... or because my mum is 93 and just doesn't give a rats ar*e.
