Other Diversions

Why does it have to be raining? I really wanted to get out
there and get my backyard mowed (fertilized, de-weeded and
seeded) today. I'm tired of it looking like a hillbilly is
going to pop out from behind a jurassic sized weed at any
moment! I want to look down from my dining room balcony
and see a well-groomed, green, lush lawn of GRASS. Right
now, it's more weeds than anything even closely related to
the grass family. I've got some plant that's grown to
almost four feet (higher than the fence). I don't know
what the heck that could be, but it's in a weird spot, so
it can't be anything but a weed. Maybe this afternoon
things will dry out. Or tomorrow morning. I'm keeping my
fingers crossed.

In the mean time I've got plenty of other diversions. I
need to put away laundry supplies and other things I've
bought over the past couple of days. All the bags have
congregated on the kitchen counters and it's horribly
cluttered in there. I need to do dishes and laundry. Wrap
shower gifts for Tiffany and Tamara. Get my second attempt
at tomatoes and cucumbers planted (this time, directly
into a planter on the dining room patio). Have I gone over
this list before? It's hard for me to remember anything.
Repetition helps my poor pregnant mind.

I had another good night of sleep. When Snookums isn't
here, I get very tired out and sleep comes amazingly easy.
I'm in more pain than when he's here. It's a less than
ideal trade-off, but it works. It's mainly my pelvic bones
and lower back that bother me. The pain is the kind that
lessens when I slow down, lay in bed and stop moving.
After about 30 minutes of feeling all my muscles and
joints throb in time to my heartbeat and little electrical
currents running down my spine into my legs, I fall
asleep. I always wake up when I try to roll over, because
that's an incredibly searing pain in the crotch. No one
can sleep through something like that.

I'd better get started. I think I'll have something to eat
first. It's almost noon and I missed breakfast. I'm tired
again. Man, being tired sucks. Ciao for now.
