• Doing A Happy Dance!

  I feel so much better today that I actually feel like doing the happy dance! I know I am going to be better in coming days. I not only did my housewifey things but I also did my hair (love you Lady Clairol!), showered, dressed, did some shopping and finished folding the clothes I did yesterday. It may not seem like much since there are only the two of us here but it really IS so much more than I could have managed.

  I finally was able to pick up the birthday present for the Princjavascript:%20void(0);ess that I wanted to get her. I bought her a microwave. She has one but there is something wrong with it and it takes a long time to just warm things up. Johnnycakes wouldn't let her buy another one until the one they have breaks down so I figured it was a safe bet for a present for her. By the time she reads this, she will already have it since she gets it tomorrow when she drops off Chewlee.

  Yes, I get to see my baby, who, by the way, may be thrown out of day care. It seems she is constantly picking on this one little boy (who happens to really like her) and is always knocking him down. They wanted the Princess to come to the school and spank her or something to get her to stop doing it. She had called me to see if I could run up there but she called right after I had a bad bout of coughing. Even though I had felt great when I got up, after that bout, I was afraid that I was going to have a bit of a relapse. I don't think she got a chance to run up there during her lunch but I could be wrong. I'll find out when I see the Princess tomorrow.

  I heard her and the Beast make plans on going out car hunting again on Sunday and some possible alternative plans for her old car if they can't manage to find her one soon. We shall see what happens. The weather should be cooperative since the forecast is for sunny and hot.

  I got a chance to run into Dollar General where I prefer to buy my cleaning products. My clothes soap, fabric softener, window cleaner, etc. costs me so much less there that it isn't funny. It had been a while since I was last able to shop there so I had fun reacquainting myself with the store since they keep changing it around. I even bought myself a couple Bobby Brooks items (shorts, tops) at ridiculously low prices since they are marking down all their seasonal stuff but I needed them for Centralia. Since I have put on weight, I am no longer able to get into a lot of the clothes I could wear when I was just 80 lbs or so. *sigh* I know I look better but I sure hate to give up all the things I bought. I got a lot of them at the *lost luggage* store so they were really good and really cheap.

  The Beast is almost finished with the lawns now. I say *lawns* because of the lot next door that is ours, too. I think all he has to finish is the trim work around the fences and under the trees. Under the trees is a job all by itself since we have so damn many of them. Thank goodness they are young still.

  After doing a lot of research, the Beast found out that we did, indeed, lose most of our peaches and other fruits due to too much water. We even have some trees that definitely suffered from water rot of some kind. The Beast said he may never water again....LOL. He doesn't understand how people with large orchards can stand the uncertainty and how they deal with the problems. I told him that I believe a lot of it is avoided by the way the trees are planted (and the deep furrows in between). I'm sure if he gets the chance (and knowing him, he will find a way to make it happen), he will ask those questions that are bugging him from some grower or other.

  Love you all. I wish you a wonderful weekend. Stay healthy and happy. Find a reason to laugh. Remember this: A smile from you will make someone happy even if they don't know you or like you. It's infectious. Try it.
