Monday

I was slightly off kilter over the weekend and didn't do a damned thing because of my back again. So today, I'm making up for all that by doing some laundry this morning and cleaning. OY! How can just 2 people make so much laundry in one week. I have 4 loads to do today.

I did get something nice in the mail on Saturday. The Spider plants came. They were carefully wrapped in newspaper in 2-inch pots. They are really quite lush and leafy for plantlings. I was amazed at the wonderful condition they were in when I unwrapped them. The soil was moist and none of them were in shock. Cute little things. Well, I think they're cute. Some of the soil got loose when I put them on the kitchen window sill to sit in the light for a bit but otherwise they look perfectly fine. David ordered them to be expedited. They got here in 3 days time. Now to find nice hanging baskets for them. This calls for a trip to the local nursery. I will probably go tomorrow if I feel good enough.

Mango sprout

Also, on Saturday my mango seedling popped out of the soil. I planted the seed about a week ago and that thing sprouted like magick. I wasn't expecting it for another week. It looks like a dead parrot claw.

I'm going to grow another one as soon as I can go to the store to get mangos. I will be starting lemon seeds as soon as I get a few more. That way I can be sure to have at least 2 lemon plants growing.

Well, this house won't get cleaned by just talking about it. Got to go. Have a great day y'all.

Insomniacs R Us

Insomnia is kicking my ass again. I need to figure out why I can't get any sleep at night.
I've tried everything in the book and then some. Nothing seems to work.

So I've been doing house work in the hopes that it would make me tired enough to get some sleep.

But I have just too much energy flowing through me. It's like I tapped into some kind of energy field and I can't stop buzzing.

I did three loads of laundry last night. I dusted, swept (vacuuming is too loud and I don't want to wake David because he has to work), mopped, cleaned the bathroom, found long lost dog toys that Lucy hid from Spunky, cleaned the refrigerator, and even baked four dozen cookies I had from the freezer that I made up two weeks ago. Shit! I even made a loaf of sour dough bread.

Then I decided to do some cooking for part of the week.  I made potato salad, meat balls for spaghetti, and even some fried chicken.

David woke up at 5am this morning to a clean house and some fine smells from the kitchen.

I accomplished a lot of things last night and I feel great from it. But doing all that shit never made me tired. I still feel energetic right now. So I guess I'll go outside an pull weeds and transplant some creeping phlox and sweet peas. 

Please don't worry about me. I'll hit that wall soon enough. It's been three nights without sleep so I'm guessing tonight I'll finally get some sound sleep, Goddess willing.  

Y'all have a magical day.
