Day 97: Organization

 

I am one of those people who like to work from lists. whether it has to do with my writing, or it is the household chores, or even just the plain old shopping list. Yes, I has a notebook I keep in my bag just for that very thing (the shopping list that is).

I like to do at least three chores off the list per day. I have a big yard, and a small battery-operated push mower. So, I allot myself one battery life (Approx 20 minutes) of mowing each day and two other chores. With all the rain we've had the mowing has fallen by the wayside, but I'll be heading out there shortly to try and play catch up. So, today's chore list would be:
  1. Mow 1 battery
  2. wipe out the pantry shelves and put oldest stock to the front
  3. Change mum's bedding for cooler weather (Add extra doona, her under blanket and flannel sheets)
In my writing I'm just hoping to get at least 2-3 K written, but that will have to come after I have done the other chores. It's coming up cloudy again, so I better go and at least get the mowing in before then.

Day 96: Weird Weather

 

The weather has been so weird lately. One minute it's hot. The next it's cold. Then it alternates between raining and sunny days. It's like jumping from 15° to 35°.

Worked on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes With Kisses. If my damn cat tries to eat my computer again, I don't know what to do he's seven. He should have grown out of this crap by now.

I have to clean out my fridge today. I noticed there are crumbs all through it again, so I want to wash it all out, and I have to refill the ice cube trays. I also noticed from all the rain there is some mold starting on the bathroom wall near the window. So, I'll have to get that done today

Today mum has decided on steak sandwiches with chips (fries). So, it will be an easy one today.

Day 95: Damn Cat

 

Robson (my cat) had another fricken night of running all over the house. So, I've now had two nights on minimal sleep... Yay, what fun... Not.

Worked on Hayden Falls1: Christmas Wishes Comes With Kisses. Only doing little bits as my head is pounding today.

I did the washing today: 3 loads at least I could hang it all on the inside lines.

Today's doco watch was on the disappearance of sister Cathy and abuse in the catholic church. And one on the Son of Sam. And one on the Cecil hotel, but I'll have to finish that one tomorrow.

Today mum wanted fish (barramundi) and salad for lunch today another awesome meal. We also had a microwave potato. 

I hope I get a better night's sleep tonight.

Day 94: Tired As Hell

 

Tired because my shithead of a cat Robson (the youngest one) decided to run around the house like a freaking nutter. From the moment the lights went out until the time I let them out in the morning me had the zoomies and jumpies. Drove me nuts all night long.

Just because I could I cooked my mum a baked dinner today. It was bloody delicious. Chicken, roast veg (pumpkin, potato, onion, carrot, and sloppy peas), and homemade gravy.

Monsoon rang me up just to ask me if she could have a chee-hoo

I have been watching some serial killer and murder documentaries. It was so interesting how clever they think they are and how they finally get caught out. Makes me wonder what the hell goes through their minds.

Worked on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes With Kisses. But I've had a bad headache and a sore back today.

Day 93: Update Day

 

This is what it feels like most days in my house. Would you believe my oldest cat decided he wanted my seat and wouldn't stop annoying me until I got up and moved seats. Then the youngest cat decided he wanted me to sit in the bedroom while he lay on the bed, so he did the same whole annoying thing until I moved to the bedroom.

I blame it on the freaking wet weather... yes, you guessed it, it's raining.

I forgot to tell you. The night Monsoon slept over she ended up sleeping for 14 hours straight. And then spent the next day with me while her mum was at work. At least the flooding went down some and Hurricane and Cyclone could get to school.

Today I'm back to working on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes with Kisses and watching NYC murder cases.

Today is also Hurricane and Cyclone's last day of school before the Easter holidays. At least their mum will be home to look after them.

Because I know today is going to suck.

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.
