Well DD asked if I would like to play with Elizabeth in the back yard while she and Shelby went shopping......................... guess what ................ I said NO.............. YES I really said NO. So off they went and I went out in the yard, did some weed eating around the edges so Shay can mow tomorrow. Then I thought I should really go in the back alley and weed eat there.
We had a letter from the city saying our place was not being kept up to city standards. So we phoned to see what the problem was. Apparently the debris of ancient civilizations that is outside the back fence needs to be removed. Now as I think the fence is the boundary between city property (AKA the lane or alley) and our yard they should deal with it. .......................... NOT .................. The city did pick up some of the debris in the alley by the fence but said the rest was too tangled in weeds. It needed to be weed eaten and the resulting discoveries hauled away to the dump..................... by US ( this usually means ME in our house) I keep telling everyone that the worm in my pocket died so there is only ME no US.
Now it is not like I don't have enough to do with a handicapped Husband, a DD who comes for coffee every morning with her 2 year old DD(who makes a mess) ...................... granted she makes the coffee and does any shopping that we need done (I can shop and it is easier than dealing with a 2 year old)................. but she doesn't always pick up after the baby..................... she does her laundry here but is slow getting out of here so it is piled on chairs, tables or in bags on the floor...................... then there is the house work, meals, yard work, waiting on DH etc......................................... OH yes I almost forgot Captain Chaos, although she has been good lately for a almost 12 year old going on 30.
This isn't enough............... I now have to clean up the debris of ancient civilizations. The stuff the other side of our fence was there when we moved in and many years before that from the looks of things .....................DARN ................I need to trim my fingernails ................. they cause me to make more typing mistakes than usual...................... and that is a lot as I can't type.
Well I guess tomorrow I will finish the rest of the weed eating in the lane .................... of course this is not an easy thing like going out the back gate to the lane........................ DH has a Step Van backed into the yard up against the tarp garage and filling the entire driveway. So it is a case of hauling the cord to the back fence .................. carrying the weed-eater down the block, round the corner ................. to the lane........... turn up the lane to our back fence, find the end of the cord and plug it into the weed-eater and start mangling weeds............ so far I have uncovered a bottle, a metal thingy, a piece of metal pipe and a lot of rotting wood.
Well that is enough for today. Have to figure out something for dinner and get ready to spin at knit night. I did a lot of spinning during "Tour d' Fleece" but that is over and I don't have any photos yet as I couldn't find the camera and when I did find it the batteries were dead. Ravellenics starts on Friday so there will be 17 days of mad knitting.
I have committed to finishing 3 pairs of socks, knitting a hat for Shelby and knitting a beaded bracelet................ all to be done in the next 17 days.
I think I will go rest up now.
