LOL - thanks Nora!!!! Work was fine - long, as the mid shift always is!!! But I am home now which is the main thing. And off tomorrow. have lots planned - starting with getting up at the crack of dawn and planting seeds - even though it will be humid, I will get out before the real heat kicks in! I am also planning on baking some bread tomorrow. How are YOU doing? You haven't said how you are doing on the half a Nal tab? how is that going?

Aww MB, being boring is one thing that no-one could ever accuse you of.

Very wise move you made there.

Hi Bird - this morning I planted flower seeds - I have all the veggie seeds in already so I planted cosmos, zinnia, campanula - all for cutting - I have them out the front to fill in the perennial bed. Need to go and buy some marigolds as for some reason they haven't come up ! Have them in a whiskey barrel round a lantana in the back and it all goes so well together! umm - need to plant my sweet potato plants this morning too. I have just ripped my arms to shreds taking out my rose bushes - thay ALL have black spot and look awful - I am fed up with it so have pulled them out. I won't use spray and it always destroys them. Have had it (once again) with roses! I had them behind lavender so will put tall cosmos seeds behind the lavendar to fill the space now. Had blood running down my arms! Oh dear! Now they are itching like crazy..... sorry your catnip didn't come up - wonder why - usually that stuff is like a weed.......

Sorry about daughter and ax - oh I feel so sorry for the teens - everything is SO big at that age - the world is coming to an end with the b'f and hormones. Hang in there Mel - it really does pass.....

anyway, back outside before it gets too hot.....

Hugs to all, Sun X

post piccies of gardens please
yeah Mel - the tears gobsmacked me, but I made it
Nora - stopping again...right? Someone made a comment about being a "common" drunk to me....
what the hell is that? Are there different kinds of drunks. "superior" , "common", "not so common"?
We were going to the lake house today, but it's too hot and I have plenty to do here.
Mel- teens are SOOOOO fun aren't they???? At least I have boys, bless your heart
Thanks for the sweet comment JC

MB--I can't imagine you crying, but I have those feelings too from time to time-- just like-- why, why do you get to go and be normal and have fun and here I sit..then he says he will stay but I know he really does not want to .. but the fact he offered makes me even more weepy....Mark is actually gone now playing his play off game then he will cook out and I guess do what they usually do while the little munchkin and I will go to a bday party for his classmate and I will see those hens that I just do not care for--but Luke is excited to go to the party. I made him some barbecued corned beef for him tpo heat on the grill and put in rolls-- different from the usual stuff they do out there-- I bet we don't see him all day.

The painters came back today-- knocked at 8:30-- asked if it was okay if they painted-- said they saw we were Catholic (we have a statue of St Francie of Assisi) and did not want to offend us but that they had just come from 6:00 a.m. mass and need to finish today so they could stay on schedule or the boss (Mark's friend no less) would be mad! I told them we had no problem with it but that I thought the boss was mean! HA! Then I went to get them biscuits at Hardees which prompted Mark to go on his rant about me not taking them to raise again..

Sunny-- you seem to really like your job. May I ask what you do? It is nice to see someone who likes what they do! I hope you enjoy your gardening.

Bird-- I think I am with Mama-- I am glad I have a boy. I feel for you with your girl! Have you kept off the weight you lost? I was going to jump start the rest of May with cabbage soup but after fainting I am rethinking that one

Is Fen at Tick Hollow?

Oh and as for a common drunk-- I may be weird but I never liked referring to myself as a drunk. I would rather even refer to myself as an alcoholic. I was drunk from time to time but a drunk is such a perjorative term to me. I am just a person who used to have a problem with drinking, I don't currently, know I could any day of course. There is nothing common about me or you MB or any of us. If there was then there would be one way to solve this not drinking thing and we would all follow that and voila!

Hi ATL - hope you enjoy the birthday BBq today - ignore the hens!! Yes, I love my job - I think I am so lucky in that respect - I work in a bookstore as one of the managers and trust me, I don't do it for the money! LOL Apart from the odd (meant in more than one way!!) customer, I really do love it.

I have two girls and remember too well those teen years! OMG - do I ever remember them - but they DO pass - and then you get the next lot!! LOL

Yes, Fen is at the cabin - probably coming back today.

I agree - a drunk sounds so awful! Oh well.....

Off now to go and buy a few more plants - everything is planted that I can get planted so I need to get some more odds and ends and then get those planted - probably mow the lawn too. hubs just called and asked if I would do it as it is supposed to rain tomorrow. then I want to make some bread!!

Back later everyone,

sun X

My friend, Jacqui, has a cockateil called Poopi. When Jacqui bought him he had what our avian vet calls a 'split arse' from flying too young and making an unfortunate landing on carpet. He kept pulling the teeny little stitches out so the vet had to make him a little cone of shame as I call it. Poor little Poopi had to wear it through the early days of Summer.

She wrote it down anyway! LOL

Dos Gatos is very silly!!!

Well hi everyone. I've had internet problems over the past month and haven't been able to reach you all. It's been torture. I've missed you terribly and worried about you all. I read back over April's Journey and felt heartsick at the horrible things that happened. I'd like to make a comment on it but I think it best if I refrain and let it be. Sad business, though.

I don't even know where to begin in telling you what's been happening here, so I'll probably fill you in in dribs and drabs over a few days. If I wrote it all now the post would be incredibly long winded and boring. However, let me assure you it wasn't boring living through it all. Quite the opposite.

One 'event' was me being diagnosed with Ross River Virus. Maybe you'll remember I thought I had shingles or a spider bite. I have also told you about having a virus with hideously painful headaches and disgusting nausea. Turns out they're symptoms of Ross River Virus. The sweats, sleeplessness, aches and pains are also. Not much fun. There's no 'cure' so I just have to live with recurring bouts. Fan-blooming-tastic.

Ashe saw her Psych and has her own dexies now, but still calls on me far too often for 'extras,' but I don't mind really as she's doing really well. More to come on the situation with her and Chris in future posts.

When I was at Mother's last weekend, Brooke disappeared mysteriously into the safe and came out bearing a box with the 'good' jewelry. I was handed THE emerald and diamond ring and earings. Mother changed her will while I was drinking and still with Eddy The Moron, and bequeathed the emerald set to Brooke instead of me. I quite understand and, although a bit hurt, I harboured no bitterness about it. After all, we reap what we sow. Anyway, Mother is 'lending' them to me and when she dies, Brooke will continue to 'lend' them to me. Mother said they might as well be being worn and enjoyed as sitting in a box in the safe. Brooke isn't into jewelry without skulls. Now, if you knew Mother you would also know that this is a huge vote of approval and expression of confidence. It's a recognition of my efforts to rehabilitate myself and a statement of approval. I'm awfully chuffed.

Anyway, I just realised it's midnight so must away for now.

Love and hugs to you all, beloved ones.
