First world problems...

averygoodun42I seem to be in another phase of dreaming about everyone I've ever known, again. *sigh* Sometimes it's quite nice to see dear faces again, but other times it brings on such an acute sense of loneliness that it's hard to bear.
*shrugs*
Right now I am tired. Geoff left for the airport at 6 this morning, and Page is not happy with either of us because of it. I'm hoping Page doesn't take it out on school folk, but I wouldn't blame him if he did. It's hard not having your dad around. Especially when mum is so tired...
I'm really of two minds about what I should do today. On the one hand, there's a lot I need to get done that really is best done when Page is not here. On the other hand, I need a day off. I'm exhausted, Saturday was a lost day due to some queer illness, and Sunday was full of bustle and bad moods. I could really use a hot, sitz bath and a long nap. Maybe even a coconut oil conditioner treatment and a pedicure?
But at the same time, I'm tired enough that all that sounds like too much work.
And when am I going to do my homework? I refuse to get so behind again. It's too stressful.
Ach well. After today, the sun should come out, both figuratively and literally. Geoff did the cooking last night, so I won't have to cook until he comes back at the end of the week. And it is only one week. It's survivable. Perhaps even enjoyable, what with my current alone-time deficiency...
Oh, speaking of deficiencies, I did a home soil test, and it seems our front yard has no (none, zero, zilch) nitrogen. Which would kind of explain why grass has a hard time growing there, now doesn't it? I'm going to talk with the condo landscaping guys to see what their plans are, but if they aren't going to do it, I shall be buying a few yards of compost and loam to support vegetable matter out front. Which might mean I won't be able to buy all the trees and shrubs I want this year, but ach well. The time value ofmoney gardening isn't a hard and fast rule. After all, we might have a harsh winter next year that kills off all the new plantings...
Well, I think I'm going to go run my bath now. And hopefully get some sleep after that.
