Yesterday I spent a wonderful lazy day, mostly working on the 1000-piece jigsaw, or with my face in front of the computer. I did manage to do two 15-min stints in my "zones" (only flylady people get it!) - the guest bath and the livingroom. Odelia awoke at 4pm!!! angry I hadn't woken her earlier since I had told her we would go bowling, and the 1/2-price coupons are only good till 4pm. But i was feeling lazy and after "going" for 7 days, I was happy to be a house potato. I didn't even go to get Bardot, although I did take Honey to an agility mini-lesson and did some shopping.
So, most of the day, I did not do much. I mowed the lawn in the evening (which dS should have done on Friday and it was way too long now!!!) and discovered my mom did another one of her "trims" on one of my bushes. We have had this "conversation" so often, I realize it is a waste of breath:
Me: Do you have any idea what happened to my XXX plant? It looks like someone took a machete to it or it was struck by lightning.
Her: Oh. It looked like it needed a little thinning, so I trimmed it.
(She says "trim" but the correct term should be "butchered.")
M: This is its flowering season, and you cut off all the blooms now. Haven't we agreed that you are to ask me first before you touch any of my plants?
H: Yes, but you were away for the week.
M: Couldn't the trimming have waited a week? Or couldn't you have sent me a message via my daughter, with whom I speak daily on the chat?
H: I guess you're right. I'm really sorry.
M: Well, don't do it again...but since we have had this conversation so many times, I realize it ws just a waste of breath.
H: Sorry.
(Thankfully, plants grow back!)
This morning I tired myself out as follows:
Went to A's to take photos of some dogs she wants to put on internet.
Drove to see her new "place" - a hothouse, where she will pitch a tent until she buys herself a trailer to live in. But lots of room for dogs and cats once fenced in and fixed up. Oy vay...what a life!
Drove her to return about 40 empties of beer (I hope this is not developing into a problem!!! Anyone see Desparate Housewives lately??). Drove her to drop off some stuff at her clinic. Drove her to her "office."
Then i proceeded to my petstore, where i bought a bag of mini-treats and a new toy for Honey, and then went to pick up Bardot.
I was really tired when I got home and had a sandwich and fell asleep.
Now it is 3:30 pm. Odelia has been up all night (!) till now. I asked her this morning to hang out laundry, and she finally did it right now after me asking her three times. Does she deserve to go bowling. I hear the TV running, and i bet she has fallen asleep on the sofa now.
Well, speaking of the devil, she just phoned up to see if we are going. And I said she has to agree to do some daily activity. She just doesn't, and it kills me. Which she doesn't want to agree to. I don't care...I'd rather work in the garden.
Oh, another thing i did today was send a message to both AACI and the flylady list telling them I have accomodations for anyone from up north who needs a place to stay.
