friday

It's been a busy past few days.
The day usually starts with taking daughter to physical therapy.
I only stop in to say hello. They were using me to take her through some of her exercises.
Or at least they used me once. It hurts my back.......and I'm on an extended "vacation" ...........so.........
Now I stop in to drop off daughter and to say hello, and then I leave.

I had a couple handsome, young, men remove the chain link fence that surrounds the flat part of my backyard.
The Honeysuckle trees were taking it over. I couldn't keep up with those fuckers anymore. Half of them were growing at the vacant house side of the gate.......but they were weaving through the fence as was the woods/vines/honeysuckles, at the back of the yaRd. And empty house has a load of river rock/some kind of stone leaning on the gate. The weight from the rock is distorting the gate. My gate? Empty house gate? Notsure but,
I finally thought FUCK IT! And called in the troops to remove it!
They removed it yesterday and my yard already looks 100% better!
I cut the empty houses side yard because it was so overgrown it was making my house look like poo...............I talked to the city code enforcement office........and saw them up at the vacant house a couple days ago.........hopefully
they're tracking down the bank/owner of the house and will get someone out here soon to clean up
the rest of the yard.

This morning I went out back to check on my pumpkin vine. I was in my PJ's, and barefoot. I stepped on something that ripped an inch thick piece of meat from the bottom of my foot.
I had nothing to put on it except antibiotic ointment and a panty liner. :O)
So I dressed, took daughter to therapy, and then went shopping for peroxide, and gauze. I also bought "cartoon" niece 2 onesies, and the cutest green hat........and I got my oldest sister( cartoon nieces grandma) the cutest leopard print reading glasses and case from the dollar store. She's always losing hers.........and I know she'll like the cheesey leopard print!

Yesterday I went to Lowes to get some topsoil. I've
been looking for window boxes for at least several. So everytime I go to Lowes I check out their window boxes. I have never been able to find the boxes that are "just right" until yesterday! They had 3 of them. I bought two! WooHoo! Now I just need to get them hung! They're pretty, black cast iron (they match my black shutters) with a copper planter inside of them............

So my nephew told me that putting street salt on the honeysuckle trees/bushes/whatever.......would kill them. I'll give it a try on one of them and see what happens!

Today I got a haircut, and eyebrows trimmed/styled?/waxed!
I've concluded that no one can do my brows as well as I can do them myself. But
I hate doing them so I keep trying to find someone who will do them the way I want them done.
Today I give up. I'll do them from now on. No big deal or anything....plus it will save me money!

Daughters knee cap was over to the right side of her leg today. They have her knee tapped to hold the cap in place. EW! Gives me the weebies thinking about it. My poor Boo!
