Just checking in. Not too much to report.
Yesterday was really a relaxing day. I spent most of it sleeping. I did attempt to put together my dresser, and then realized I had screwed in 40 of the wrong screws, so I didn't really get too far. Also, my phone never got hooked up yesterday.
Today has been about cleaning, yay! My living room is ALMOST clean. My poor coffee table is just piled high with stuff I really don't know what to do with. Also my kitchen is coming along nicely. Washed a lot of my dishes and things, since I made pasta last night and forgot to wash my pot I used, so I could taste the new pot taste.
Hey I see some neighbors out riding bikes in the parking lot. I've never seen them...
I saw the postman out doing the post, so I ran down to get a couple letters in the mail, but missed him. I thought today I'd have mail from Netflix, and was disappointed. So since it's such a nice cool day today, I weeded my flower bed. Ryan will be upset, but I left a patch of clovers until I can decide for sure if they really are harmful. I pulled 4 tomatoes off my tomato plants too.
Neighbors on the other side came home today: Ron and Carroll. Nice people, really chatty. They are happy to know I won't be causing problems.
I get my phone turned on Wednesday. I have to go to the store to get a phone cord though, because I didn't pack mine. The only thing I left at home that I wanted was my sunglasses too, so not too bad on forgetting things.
That reminds me. My mom called yesterday after she got home. Can't leave Todd and my dad alone. The grass out back is dead, my mom's roses in the front are dead, there was a sink full of dishes, the a/c was on a timer, no remote in the house worked...and apparently Todd thinks now that I'm gone, he can rule the house. He took out the swamp cooler finally, but left a gaping hole in the side of the house. So heat pours through it, and you can see through the little shutters my mom put in front of the cooler. Then, his room is sparkling clean, but he threw all his laundry in my old room, which of course they didn't bother to clean. My mom was mad! And then Todd had the nerve to tell her when he got home "I'm leaving, I don't want to hear it!" My poor mom. Oh and lastly, my dad's idea of grocery shopping was to buy 6 microwaved country crock mashed potatoes and 2 cases of diet green tea. How will they ever function without me?
So nothing exciting to report. Trying to decide what I want for dinner tonight, even though I'm ready for lunch and it's going on 4. That's what I get for sleeping too much.

GEEEZZZZZ, YOUR PLACE SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN. BET YOUR MOM WISHES SHE WAS THERE, IN YOUR SECOND BEDROOM. LONG CAR RIDE TO PUT UP WITH THAT WELCOME HOME. WISH SHE COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER OUT THERE AND SEEN MORE...
NEXT TIME SHE CAN FLY AND SPEND MORE TIME. LATER, LOVE, SUZY
What age are Ron and Carroll?Married?
Maybe you are more relaxed now, hence the rest and sleep rejuvanation.
Your Mom sent me pictures from you. I am looking at them next.
Peepaw is next to me on the scales, compaining that he is gaining his weight back.He can resume his yard work carefully next week. Talked to Keevan a bit ago, he and Bev was going to drive up to big Bear or Wrightwood today. Talked to your mom too like I said. Too bad about the house mess. I was gone a month once and Dub worked the whole time I think, place was great.Take care, Love, Meemaw
OMG, I talked to Mom before you did and boy was she pissed! I told her to put Todd's dirty clothes right on the middle of his bed and she said "Hell no, I'm not touching a DAMN thing I didn't make this mess!" Hopefully while Ryan is out there he can put Todd back in line. We'll see if he can last long there again now that you won't be there to help pick up after them! It makes me sick how lazy they were while Mom was gone! I told her to write them freaking instructions for everything! Good grief! That's why I yell at my boys to pick up after themselves and hopefully they'll know how to maintain a house when they grow up! (At least Noah will know how to clean.) - Sarah
