Monday, April 3

 

I was in bed last night very early (for me).  I had to get up to pee two or three times, which is normal for me also.  I woke up at 8 am and laid around in bed until Sawyer decided he had to repeatedly attack my feet, biting and scratching them.  Whenever he thinks I should be up, he attacks my feet.  Monster.

Today was about a million times more productive than yesterday.  DeAnn and I were supposed to meet at 10 am for our productivity partnership zoom.  I was able to get my morning routine done and get my laundry sorted and started, clean the laundry room litterbox before 10, and fire up the zoom.  DeAnn was not able to get on for quite a while as she had issues with her son who did not want to log on to his on-line school.   He is very stubborn once he makes up his mind to be uncooperative.  He’s 15, so he’s too big to force to do anything.  And he is too young to comprehend how essential it is to his future to bite the bullet and get his education.  That age group was always the hardest for me to motivate—their hormones and testosterone are all raging and making them think they are MEN, yet, they are unable to grasp the fact that they will be adults in three short years and are going to need a plan to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives.  Without a high school diploma and probably some higher education, they will not be able to afford the high powered internet it’s going to take to run their fancy electronic devices and play their high intensity computer games.  I cannot speak for every adult  (for example, my sister Kim, who is totally content to allow her sons to live with her forever and is totally on board with supporting them financially until she dies), but I think most adults do look forward to the day when their children are self sufficient and capable of living independently. 

Anyhow, I left the zoom up, but she was not able to join me for over two hours.  In the end, we just talked for a while and decided to skip the productivity portion of our meeting, vowing to do better on Wednesday.  While I was waiting for her, I dealt with a few things online, watched and deleted a couple of things on my DVR, and gave my cats some attention.

When we stopped the zoom, I continued working on the laundry, cleaned the three litterboxes in the breezeway, swept and scrubbed the breezeway, cleaned some old stuff out of the refrigerator, washed an enormous bunch of dirty dishes, and gave the stray kitties a big plate of left over chicken and rice hotdish and the pork steak and gravy that have been in the refrigerator for about two weeks.    I wanted to make something out of the hamburger I bought on Friday and clean the raspberries and strawberries I bought,  but after doing all those dishes, I just didn’t have any life left in me. 

I did my written prayers, kept working on the laundry (final load is now in the dryer), fed the cats, and made myself toast, fried eggs, and turkey sausage patties for my supper.  I had a couple of Ferraro Rochette Easter eggs earlier in the day.  I just haven’t been doing well at making decent meals for myself during the day.  I am perishing for some vegetables.

I am looking forward to going to bed early again tonight in hopes of getting up tomorrow and doing all the stuff I didn’t get done today.  I want to wash my bedding which is full of cat hair, remake the bed, vacuum the office rug and bedroom runner, and sweep and scrub the laundry room.  Then, if I still have any life left in me, I would like to polish the wooden furniture in the living room and bedroom with Orange Glow.  The living room and bedroom could probably benefit from a quick sweep and scrub as well, but I know I will not get all of that done tomorrow.

It's going to rain tomorrow here.  Farther north, there could be more snow, and farther south there could be more severe, even tornadic, weather.  Yuck.  On Thursday, I have to take my mother to her medical doctor.  I will once again plan to get some work done in the car—probably get my mail and go through it, pay bills, and possibly read some of my book.  I don’t seem able to make time for reading while I am home.  Too busy cleaning or being sucked into the internet.

That’s about the extent of my day.  I’m tired.  I’m hoping that my stray kitties come and eat that food before it rains tomorrow.  I have not put food out for them for a few days, so they may be starving out there.  Poor little babies.

I am interested to see what kind of havoc the orange anti-christ will create in New York since he has reported there to be checked into the system.  I fully expect him to try to provoke another insurrection.  That lunatic MTG will probably be there to spearhead the charge if they do.  And all the MAGats will be there, armed to the teeth and shrieking about witch hunts and stolen elections.  I hope this time they get treated the same way all the BLM protesters were treated.  Bastards.

I am so proud of the kids in Nashville walking out and protesting gun violence.  They should not have to worry about being shot to death with high powered guns in school.  All these loony gun nuts need to be shown the pictures of those little tykes in Uvalde with their faces blown off.  Maybe then they will realize what they are supporting.  NO ONE who is not in the army needs a weapon so powerful it literally blows the faces off children.  Morons.
