I got outside for a walk and to pick up cat food before the forecast rain moved in. Now we have a cold steady rain that's expected to go on most of the day, and I'm sitting here feeling warm, dry, and self-righteous.
Something's gonna explode now, isn't it.
I walked out on the deck and was greeted with the opening to the Masterpiece Theater theme, which was oddly motivational!
My neighbor's trumpeter boyfriend is in town and is practicing. I love this neighborhood.
I cannot motivate to clean, but I think I'll go swim. Clean later.
Baby shower today! It's mostly gay men without kids, so maybe not so much about the advice-giving, but it's gonna be CLASSY.
No poop games is an excellent credo.
I just woke up and am still all sleepy. Whyyy. But my friend texted about going to Joann's and then sewing so I will get up and food now. And coffee.
mac wants to make a wooden sword today, so that means finding saws in the UNORGANIZED garage and then setting up some work area ( no clamps, no vices ). ugh, I don't wanna be the parent that says no I don't wanna do stuff with you, but guys, I really don't wanna. SItting on ass with possible nap seemed like a much better idea today.
Onesie decorating and bellinis is all any baby shower needs!
Truth.
So, the empanadas are pretty good, but I should have realized the biscuits would be too sweet. Pot roast is cooking. Next is a quiche for breakfasts, because I have all the stuff.

Now make sweet empanadas instead of savory ones?
I may have set my sights for today's yard work a bit too high. BUT, I got the edging done, pulled all the poky-spiky-scratchy weeds that were big enough to spot easily, mowed maybe a quarter of the lawn, and chatted with two of my favorite neighbors (separately, two conversations. One nice thing about everybody feeling like they can comment on one's weight loss, it's a conversational opening for my neighbors that I haven't seen in a while (which is all of them, I've been hermit-y)). Time for a cup of tea and sitting on my ass for a bit. Then I should be able to finish mowing, and feeding the birds and watering the plants are both easy-peasy. The roses may have to wait.
