2007 Story Set
| September 15, 2007 First - I just spent 3 hours cleaning the front yard up. It was out of control --- still is partly (no landscape cloth was put under the river of rocks - means I have to pick them all back up and redig the river - put down cloth and then re-lay the rocks - UGH!) The grass was happy to climb right in ---- and I am unstable when I lean over on non-flat ground - my left hip goes out on me. The entire bottle of grass killer I had sprayed earlier in the week DID NOTHING to the damn stuff! It was in the street - in the sidewalk cracks and had smothered my flower bed. Well - it's not totally weed-whipped but I filled the BIG green thing and two cans from San Diego (which I would bet they won't pick up - but the big green thing holds 2 cans so I will re-fill it and leave it on the street for next week). The side yards and the back have to wait. So I have the sprinklers running, a load of laundry started and was touching up the roots of my hair (this is that kit - not great but holds the fort so to speak) so my streaked hair would last a bit longer - eventually I have to dye it all dark and re-streak. An errant died strand flipped into my open eye! OUCH! I have washed and washed it - and will shower shortly and let water hit my face for another 10 minutes. I also have run a load of dishes and will wash sheets. Earlier - while hauling rocks out of the flower bed (big volcanic things), I thought I walked into a spider web - things felt icky on my neck. I saw the remain of a spider web ---. I wiped and wiped - could stop the feeling. I looked into the long sleeved tee I was wearing - I had COMPANY. They were even IN MY BRA. ANTS! The guy with the open house was fascinated at my antics. He was actually mesmerized - I had started to whip off my top right there in the street! I noticed him and made a bee-line for the open garage. I gave the neighbors a show and made it to the house. I held the cloth off me and headed for the garage --- both the big doors were UP. I whipped off the shirt - it's in that wash load now - and my bra - I was actually wearing one! I kept my back to the street. They were in the bra too - creepy - crawling - small spiders or ants I did not see - did not want to. I brushed out my hair and redid it back up and grabbed a new top - and to be careful - new shorts. I finished the yard work while being really careful ---- no more clutching the rocks to my chest for balance. Anyway - front yard looks a LOT better. And I will now go shampoo and scrub. Heck - I may even shave my legs! |
