Wow, Debet, you have a lot going on!

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ugh. I have a headache that feels like it wants to be a migraine which is giving me a whole lot of don't wanna. I have plans to join KCD, B, CJ, and friends for Easter dinner. Looks like meds and a nap are up next so I can be social. Otherwise social ain't happening. Blah.
Oh Sheryl and ita, I'm so sorry.
And Debet, that's a lot, but congrats on your impending graduation!
I'm drinking iced coffee because apparently I still needed more sleep, but I didn't discover this until after making the coffee. And cats. Cats, man. Motivation to do everything on my list today cannot compete with 2 warm cats draped across me. But this house isn't getting clean by itself. Nor paint removed or added or nails done.
Aaand, I will not be working on the railing. The stripper I bought yesterday has turned. So I'll be returning that next weekend since they are closed today.
But I got to meet a very cute visiting doxie.
Thanks.
Catlap is a real and serious condition.
The stripper I bought yesterday has turned.
Your day sounds much more exciting than mine.

Darned Commie strippers.
I have repotted and trimmed dead ends from the four patio plants that went through the late frost. I think they'll survive. I tried to trim back the azalea that's in front of my spigot, so I could connect the hose, but I couldn't get through the thing with my shears - too many large limbs. I want to just remove it; whoever planted a large bush in front of the spigot, the cable box, and the electric meter was a big dummy. Every year it's a struggle with poky branches and spiderwebs to get behind it, and this year it has won; the space belongs to the azalea and none shall pass! Until I hire a guy with a tractor to rip the thing out by the roots. Victory shall be mine. Q'apla.
I am so sorry, ita, and you too Sheryl.
Happy Easter everybody!
I am attempting to grade on my down time today, but I keep getting distracted by the food and the family and the BABY! Baby cousin is crazy cute, as is his toddler sister.
Aw, I lost my azalea (I'm not even sure how, it wasn't out and exposed during any frosts, I don't think, but sometimes plants just die) so I'm sorry to hear your thriving specimen is badly placed. OTOH, I was just out watering the grapevine and it's got loads of tiny proto-grapes already. Exciting!
Man, I have so much more stuff that needs doing than that I have gotten done, or can reasonably expect to do in the near future. Disheartening.
Hubby put in a planter box under the bedroom window. After helping him, I was sitting on the porch gazing at the neighbor's lawn. "Those tulips are pretty," I said.
"We could get you some," he said.
"I don't garden, sweetheart."
"No, it would be easy, get some lumber, dig out a piece of lawn next to the house, break it up some, dig a hole, drop in the bulbs, water it a good bit to start it, then keep an eye on it."
"Did you hear me say I don't garden?"
edit: I am cat, content to gaze at the world. He is big galumphing dog, eager to go to all lengths to please. Mixed marriages are tricky.
