Day 153: Granddaughters Visiting

 

I had all three granddaughters while their mum was at work. It's so hard to get anything done while they are here. The two eldest ones were sick and had to stay home from, school for the day. I had to wait for them to go home before I could get stuck back into the damn yard... I am so over the yard... But it has to be done.

I must admit they were pretty well behaved. I have no complaints. A little whiney but I put that down to them all being sick. They mainly just spent the morning watching Netflix and laying in my bed.

On a different note: I'm trying a new recipe today> Japanese beef curry. I hope it tastes okay.

Day 152: Over It

 

Today I'm ready to punch the walls and kick the hell out of the whipper snipper. I'm tired as hell and I have so much still to do. You don't realize just how much work there is until you find your doing it all on your own.

Okay, I'm just bitching because I'm tired. I think as a pick me up I'll make mum and me home made hamburgers and hashbrowns for lunch today. Just a little pick me up.

Today I started on the driveway--which is why I'm complaining. as it's all up hill. I will probably get half of one side done, but that's okay. I will get it all done eventually.

Day 151: Visitors

 

Visitors, some I knew about. Some I did not. It was crowded and noisy. I had a freaking headache, which didn't help any.

I managed to wipe out the whole kitchen pantry and wash the kitchen blinds = they were the hardest to do.

Luckily, I have soupe left over from yesterday, so I didn't have to cook today,

Short and sweet, but I'm tired.

Day 150: Day Off

 

Today it's raining so there is no yard work scheduled for me. It's a little on the cooler side, so I might cook up a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. enough that it lasts a couple of days.

I washed and hung it inside on the clothes airers - lucky I have the space to be able to do that.

I also spent the day reading Patricia Briggs: Mercy Thompson. I forgot how much I enjoy these books until I start a re-read.

Day 149: Busy

 

So fricken busy lately. I don't think I would survive without my morning coffee. I've taken to drinking out of my extra-large travel coffee mug. Today it's raining so this is what I have on:

1. Under the sea day at prep A with Hurricane.

2. Take mum to hearing appointment at 12:15

3. Cook a sausage sizzle lunch for the whole family

4. Do some more cleaning & packing

5. Read some Patricia Briggs to unwind

Day 148: Sleep Over

 

Today I took over another load. I also did some whipper snipping in the short gulley and the carport area. I also cleaned the dining room venetian blinds. I absolutely hate cleaning these things. I'll be glad when they are all done (I have 8 of them to do).

Monsoon decided tonight would be a good night for a sleep over. Meaning I am going to spend the night getting kicked in the back all night long. Love my granddaughters (most of the time). At least I can lose myself in Mercy Thompson's world

Day 147: Tired As Hell

I took another load over to the new place. and then did some rearranging of what's left at the current house. house is starting to look empty. Trying only to leave enough stuff for the last few weeks that we'll be here.

I did some more whipper snipping. I'm actually proud of what I've managed to get done. I'm just hoping it doesn't all grow back before I actually move.

My whole body is starting to ache from all the work. I'll have to get used to it. At the next house I'll try and stay on top of things.
