Tired Day

I'm looking for a suitcase that's more durable than mine. I'm looking at Roam suitcases but sheesh, expensive. I'll shop around. I like this suitcase. It's a soft side, but maybe soft-sided suitcases last longer?

Zara’s food dish is missing. I walked all over, but couldn’t find it. What do they do with them?

I woke up before my alarm, but I'm so sleepy this morning. The drive takes it out of me. I snuck off to lie on the futon for a few minutes.

Mimi is lying in a sunbeam :)

Allerton has a peony garden that I'd like to check out.

I'm looking at pear trees. I wonder if the birds eat pears? Or maybe an apple tree?

I’m getting head bonks from Zara. I believe that I was missed.

Shit. I can't find my car keys. I had them last night.

More crap. I owe taxes on the trust distributions for Mom's house.

Found my car keys. They were in the bunched up sleeve of my coat. And I took my spare key off of the key chain. (Yes, I know keeping the key and the spare key in the same place isn't smart.)

It's hot upstairs. I need to buy a fan (done).

I’m napping again after work. I way overslept my nap. I'm going to go back to bed and get up early to do homework.

Yes, I'm Garden Obsessed

I rescheduled my eye appointment for next week. I want to rake on Wednesday because they’re picking up lawn debris on Thursday.

I keep forgetting to post a picture of the salad greens now. I’ll have salads soon! I think that I will get another Aerogarden to grow herbs in the winter.

I swear my workman likes to deliver bad news, but actually it’s Mom’s house delivering the bad news. (It's now issues with the back door steps.) Sigh. Mimi heard me talking to him and decided that I was talking to her!

I'm leaning towards getting an apple tree for the front yard. Fresh apples would be nice! I'm looking at a Honeycrisp apple tree. Oh, and I bought a long hose for the yard. Hmmm, that reminds me that I need to get a sprinkler (done). I'm also looking at articles on how to create a curved garden bed. I need to get stakes to mark out the area for it. I ordered potting soil for the planters and wooden stakes and twine to mark out the garden. I bought some dirt for the planters. I bought some planters for my herbs and tomatoes. Crud. I was going to go out to rake tonight, but it's supposed to rain. I looked online and it seems that Lowe's and Home Depot have herb plants in. I should stop by this weekend and maybe also hit one of the garden shops. Though I might have to do mass quantities of raking on the weekend because it's supposed to rain most of the week.

I found a bookshelf at Target that I really like.

I ran out to get the Short Story box from the car so that I can try on clothes tonight. I'll do that and go through the mail. Probably before I log on again because it's oppressive (hot) up here. My fan will arrive in a day and it won't be soon enough!

And here comes the rain....

Tried to nap but couldn’t sleep. I guess that I’ll work on the mail while it cools off upstairs (done). Oh, and I also need to get the garbage out (done).

I have the dahlias, their pots, and dirt, but I need some stakes for them. I ordered them and some garden gloves to come on Friday.

Hmm. White Flower Farms has an Herb Garden for Cooks. It has plants that I want to get anyway, so I might get it. I'm going to need more pots though. They also have some nice tomatoes and a chive (because mine is sad). Actually, they had a bigger culinary herb garden that I'm getting plus a couple of tomatoes (cherry for salads and full-size for quiches).

I got really hung up on my homework assignment. I'm going to pack it in, even though I didn't do well. I need to work on the next one earlier, but I should be able to do so because my weekend is free except for yard work and homework.

I need to go downstairs and chill, literally.
