I worked in an overgrown flowerbed for 5 hours. Am sore and tired.

What makes it all ok though is that yesterday I bought a metal rooster for my backyard. It's not a 6' tall Beyonce, but a 1.5' tall one I've named Beauregard. He makes me happy.

6 days until the craft fair/silent auction I am organizing at my church. I have an assload of data entry to do, but not tonight. Tonight I am putting my feet up and playing games.

In other news, it's not even 7:00. So why does it feel like 11-freaking-p.m.?

It's not even six and feels like midnight here. I hate time changes. Actual fluctuations of planet vs. sun, I can deal. Fake me out of an hour of sun, I cut you.

If there was a metal rooster in my backyard I'd be mumbling "Knock knock, Motherfucker." under my breath all the time.

I dread having to clean out the garage, let alone the whole house. Especially since I have spent the last year cleaning out my MIL's house and we are only about 1/2 done.

Yeah, although in their case it's the attic and basement. But yes. She's right, though -- my father can't deal with anything anymore, and she doesn't really want to. I don't think she'll do it immediately, but eventually for sure.

Thanks, Tom! I'll put it up.

There is a garden "art" store near our place that sells all of those things, including metal roosters TALLER than the 6' Beyonce. Flocks of them. I giggle every time we go past the place.

Jesse, Memere will move to an apt also? Maybe you should buy it? Rent to own?

Uh, Memere will die. Presumably. At some point. She doesn't mean immediately, just eventually -- especially (I imagine) if my father can't live at home. We'll see what happens, but she definitely does have a point.

That's awesome, msbelle. I've a fondness for the turtles and trolls and whatnot made from old metal helmets.

Slept a lot again today. I am SO over this. It's been a week, possibly 2, but with lower-grade symptoms. My sinuses are getting in on the act. Not infectiony, just full.

I hated that my mom and dad sold their house, but they are so much happier not having to deal with the lawn and the repairs and all of it. It really was a great idea for them (although I worry that they chose a third-floor walk-up).

msbelle, slounge like the wind. Or the lazy breeze maybe.
