‘Tis the last day of May!
Good morning, everyone, what little there is left of it. I had to have been a lot more tired than I thought! Plus, my daughter kept coming in and disturbing, the last time at 2AM, slamming the door, waking me up, only to tell me she’d stopped by to take her cat with her. I have so much to do, yet I hate that I have to do much of it. My daughter and her boyfriend set up my bed last week (my mattress had been sitting on a futon frame, while my frame sat against the wall and the box spring in the hallway). I had a new comforter and sham I’d been looking forward to using that I was finally able to put on. Then Friday, I got all my clean clothes sorted and had them spread out on the bed so I could put them away. Wouldn’t you know that my cat decided at THAT POINT to have an upset stomach and to literally spill her guts all over half of the bed??? OMG - like I didn’t have enough to wash already!! Now I have to wash my new comforter, sham and half of the formerly clean clothes. Washing involved going down two flights of stairs and back again to dry them. How I hate it!!! I LONG for a washer in my apartment (no, I have no hookups - I just long for one). I am not happy with my cat right now and she knows it. She’s staying away from me for the time being. My landlord wants me to get my stuff out of his shed because he can’t get to his gazebo screens or his grill, which he wants to use. I don’t have anywhere to put it yet. I feel bad, but I’m kind of stuck until I have the money to do something about it. It won’t all fit in my apartment. I need my daughter to come home so we can at least help him get his things out of the shed if we can’t take them out yet. Today’s the third week of the new farmer’s market down by the marina along the Delaware. I’ve been wanting to go, yet I never remember until well into it. It’s only open one day, on Sunday, from 10 - 2. Not very long at all. The farmer’s market a couple towns down is open all weekend all day. I guess they’re test driving the idea here in this very blue collar, non-farming community before they commit longer hours to it. Plus, I’m guessing, some of the vendors may already be at the other one I mentioned on the other days. Well, I guess I’d better begin doing something around here. I have a nasty habit of putting things off and then they never ever get done. At least the cats have been fed. They’re all asleep nursing their full bellies. My turn! More tomorrow.
