Aug. 14th, 2011 12:39 pmI was going to have a mixed blessings post, but this week is turning out to be too shitty to make even snide attempts at gratitude. There is a lot I am grateful for, but... yeah.
( I swear I don't complain this much in real life. )
On the good side, because this is such a whingy post:
+ I've had fresh flowers in the house this week, thanks to my CSA. Including a gladiola! This coming week, I will cut them more carefully and actually get around to photographing them, as was my intention last week. *rolls eyes at self* Still, it's been nice, even if it probably is aggravating my allergies a bit.
+ I got my hair cut on Friday! It's now short and easy and cute! And because of it's shortness, I got head-scritches from Geoff as we watched tv last night! (I've missed the head-scritches.) I also got a brow wax, which makes me look much less Neanderthallish.
( From this )
( To this )
+ I found out that the foil cupcake cups work better than the paper ones (when brushed with oil), meaning that my packet of 48 liners has become a packet of 96! Also, the zucchini muffins are a huge hit all around. Yay! (Which reminds me, need to harvest the bigger of the zucchinis.)
+ Geoff did laundry.
+ I was not late in one of the credit card payments. I had an entire hour to spare!
+ I've cut out the pieces for T's quilt block. I plan to break out the sewing machine tomorrow.
+ Our front tree IS being taken down! Wheeeeeeee! Of course, this means I probably won't be able to plant anything till next spring, because it's getting pretty late in the season (and nothing's been done yet), but that gives me time to save up for plants. Wheeeeeeeee!
+ I was able to get outside and weed this morning, despite my leg. And, having the knowledge that the front yard will be a sun garden, I now can plan out where all my ferns and astilbe are going to go in the back! I have quite a bit of work ahead of me in the next few weeks before school starts, seeing as I have to dig out and prepare the rest of the garden.
Because this day is feeling pretty shitty so far, I think I will spend more of it out in the garden. It's a lovely day for it (until it starts raining), what with the mild weather and cloud cover, and I need a dose of green lovin'. A big dose.
