Day 155: Doctor Day - Oh What Fun!

Today I have my six-month check-up... which means fasting blood tests. and mum has to get her gut needle (I think it's Prolia). I also have to get a couple of scripts. Sadly, I also think I have another ear infection. Plus, I need to ask whether or not I need to have him work out a Ventolin work-up for the school for Graceful.

When I get home, I have more yard work to contend with. I can tell you that I am well and truly over the yard work. I hate having such a big damn yard.

My upper arms and armpits are starting to get sore. I'm assuming it's from the constant use of the whipper snipper. I'm trying to get as much done before I end up with Monsoon this afternoon.

I fell down while doing the long gulley and now my back is killing me. I think I need different gumboots - ones with better tread.

 

Day 154: Toowoomba

 

Today I'm having the morning off from yard work. I have to go to Toowoomba and buy Hurricane's birthday presents - she wants Spiderman & Dinosaurs. Actually, she mainly asked for undies. So, I will get her some of those too.

When I get home, I'll have to get stuck back into the never-ending yard work. I'll take a break from the whipper snipping and do some mowing instead. I'm going to be absolutely knackered by the end of the day. At least I should fall asleep fast.

Reading Patricia Briggs at night to unwind.

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
