One of the last two flower beds are clean and about a quarter of the last one is cleared.  The Sam’s Club shopping is done, the truck, after checking the last receipt showed the oil change wasn’t due yet.  So we confirmed this with the Dealership and worked the magic to get the oil change light to go out.

Today we went to my eldest’s and went to dinner with them.  I must confess I couldn’t take kneeling to finish the flower bed today.  I still have one more week to get it done. 

This last week I broke down and ordered a new vinyl blind for the bay window.  The one that was there when we moved in was of an undetermined age.  A couple of months ago one of the cords that control raising it decided to wear out and let go.  I went for awhile just adjusting the slats and not trying to raise it.  Then this last week the other cord on the other side gave up the ghost.  I realize that the window faces the backyard and isn’t seen from the street, but dammit I could see it and it looked like I didn’t give a rat’s ass how dilapidated it looked.  So a new one is on order and should be here soon. 

I’ve find myself getting extremely upset over the war, the killing, and the seemingly useless path this country is following to impose our way of life on others. The other thing bothering me is this plea bargaining that seems to be the only way to settle things anymore.  I’m going to have to address both these subjects in the near future to try to settle my ulcer down.  So bear with me because it is coming!!
