Day 325 - What Will Today Bring....

Today not sure of plans, may drop Isaac off, but not sure if his dad will do it, he is down till tomorrow.... he has been a godsend these last couple of weeks....

Hmmmm might make the lemon slices today, operative word being 'might' again lol. Think I will do my nails as well..... might perk me up.......

We have some nearly ready strawberries, now the birds are not eating them - yay......

Back Later :)

Well to keep busy I shifted stuff around and lots of stuff, moved the nail desk back inside and set it up as a nail studio area again...... not sure when I will start but it is all ready to go again, I then moved all my cricut stuff into another area, I was moving desks etc all around, moved the dinning room table back into the sunroom..... I am hot and sweaty but it did kill time :)

 Well one week ago approx time 4.45am, dad passed away, I was awake this morning, wishing I had stayed the night... still waiting on the death certificate...

Back to old routine now, David starts back at work, on Thursday afternoon his brother is flying in from Wellington, and staying here as it is sisters 60th birthday lunch (and they are living in a tiny house as there house burnt down back at the beginning of the year and still being repaired.....), he is here till Sunday, on Saturday is the lunch, I am not going, not in the mood to socialise with lots of people.....

Anyway about to go and clean the shower missed the last couple of weeks, and do my weekly Monday jobs....

Well thats all done..... need to go and tie the Mandarin tree so it doesn't flop over and the two little tomato plants.... might do that now....

Day 323 - Isaac Here....

Isaac stayed last night, yesterday was rough for me with him, he was such a good boy, but very chatty, it got to much, but he had a good sleep so that was good, 12 hours in fact.....

Finished the bird netting over the strawberries yesterday...


We have so much lettuce, because I had been away and just not in the mood for cooking and David not going to work, it has got out of control a little. Tonight we are having homemade hamburgers...... Oh and yes I need to weed the gardens thats a job for tomorrow on my to do list......

Gardens have been watered.....

Well gardens didn't need watering, we had rain........ Isaac went home about 10 ish, and then I tried to game, but couldn't concentrate, we went and got a few groceries we needed, and that was about it..... The nights are so hard, this time of the night, I would have been waiting for dad to come online for our video chat, the last few months, we chatted night and mornings..... it fucking sucks.....

Anyway lets see how the morning goes, David is back at work, and I can not remember the last time he didn't ring between, 9am and 12pm its been years, unless he had a doctor appointment.....

Hell I was at the supermarket and saw the bread rolls dad loved, and I got him in his shopping, since he could no longer make bread and burst into tears....

Fuck life.....
