I got a new computer mouse so I literally have no excuse for not getting done the things I need to get done on the computer... which is making sure I have backups of everything I need backups of and deleting all the unnecessary shit that has cluttered up on this thing along with frequent disk clean ups which will all culminate in a defrag which will hopefully give this thing a few more months. It's a slow death... and I have no idea how long we'll be on hospice. Summer will be rough.
I also have the flash drives I require in order to accomplish this task to my satisfaction.
So I'm sitting here working on it and doing the whole music thing and I'm going insane because I really wanted to be outside today but the spousal unit has hired the damn gardener to come and remove the weeds from the backyard.
But he bought a weed whacker yesterday because he wanted to do it himself.
I'm so confused.
There's something incredibly sad about deleting pictures off my phone. I've got them backed up, it's cool... it's just... weird.
I'm anticipating a new phone for Mother's Day and if I don't get it I might be a little sad.
I'm really pissed off that everything I wanted to do today got fucked up because of the spousal unit's schedule or inattention.
Admittedly I made plans without making myself aware of his meeting because I didn't check the schedule... but he didn't check with me before hiring the gardener to come today or making plans with a visiting friend for the night. I'm not in a position where I have to half flake on someone, can't do what I wanted to do, and have to be home early to put the kid to bed because it's a school night.
But he'll be out having fun and staying up late, which means he'll sleep in super late, which means that tomorrow I'll probably spend a couple of hours sitting around the house waiting for him to wake the fuck up so I can get on with my day... and I'm loathe to wake him because of his insomnia issues... although I did wake him up this morning so maybe I won't be so shy tomorrow.
Regardless. I'd better get this cat off my lap and get a few more things done. I may be miffed at my inability to do what I wanted to do but it's not keeping me from being productive!

Too many thoughts
I'm literally at a loss for what to do.
I so seriously want to finish watching Stargate SG1 that it's burning my brain. I want to be done with the series. I'm halfway through the penultimate season and I just have to finish it. So I could sit down and do that.
Then there's the epic ongoing neverending music project that I could do in conjunction with removing the photos off my soon to be replaced phone and that's doubly productive and enjoyable.
Then there's the simple fact that I don't know if I've done my reading for the day... I'm literally four pages behind... so I could also read.
I feel that no matter which choice I make I'm making a good choice and I should follow my bliss.
But I'm sitting here wondering how I'm going to get through the next 13 days without any liquid income. I literally have no money to spend and still need to buy chicken and a ham. When I run out of cigarettes or weed, that's it. I'm out until I get paid.
I'm going slightly insane with the weird bookeeping that has occurred in my checking account. If I don't balance that shit to the penny at the end of every single day that I make any purchases I get myself fucked up after a month or two. It should be part of my morning routine.
This should be pretty easy to remember as I have to keep an eye out for that check I wrote to the damn school for the field trip... it always takes them forever to deposit checks and it annoys me sooo much... but having to spend virtually nothing for the next two weeks will keep it easy and me honest... of course I'm cat sitting for an epic period of time while I'm broke so I'll get a rush of cash shortly after getting paid... which will be nice. I'll feel flush for a couple of weeks. Then I'll be broke again after the first of the month... and the convention... my sanity is questionable and I'm almost consistently high.
I'm going to go watch Stargate.

May begins
Sometimes, at the end of the day I'm left completely exhausted and yet wondering what on earth I did all day to warrant being so tired. I've organized photos, lifted them all off the computer and saved them to a flashdrive. I've begun the process of retrieving photos from my phone - a tedious and extremely time consuming task that will also result in further progress being made on my playlists. So it's a win-win, but it's tedious and time consuming. I've eventually got to get these pictures all developed and into photo albums because I'm old school like that. Of course, I have nowhere to put the photo albums until I get the bookshelf from my mom's... this is a conundrum that has me willing to rent a car to get it done.
I've made progress in the yard. I dug a hole and am filling it with rocks... it's right where the rain gutter drains and it made sense to do something there so I don't put a plant there and watch it drown. When all is said and done and things have grown in a bit it'll look just fine. Next step is to finish clearing the area behind the garage and to grab some ice plant bits from the area between the clinic and our neighbor. Hopefully I can get enough of it to take that it fills in and works around the lava rocks, creating something at least mildly attractive in that otherwise dead space.
We have to get a weed whacker and then we have to rent a rototiller.
My husband is going to kill himself with this task... but once that's done I've got a few ideas percolating which include building and installing a gate, putting in a brick lined, raised bed along the back of the house for herbs. I've got chives and rosemary currently... I've also got ideas for the other fence line as a place to put more succulents. But the ones that aren't in ground are in pot and doing all right, I've got some babies cooking and a powerful need for a couple of new varieties... but we'll see what happens over the next few weeks while I clear the area in front that's the next place for planting... I've also got mad plans to get started on painting the kitchen. I've chosen the blue and I've chosen the white so I think it's time to tackle the laundry room...
Dear gods its been hot and I can't take it. Hopefully we're able to get new windows - those will help immensely in the winter. If the bathroom doesn't get really awful we might be able to get an air conditioner next year and put off the bathroom remodel until 2019. Oh that would be so nice... to only have one more stifling summer... but time will tell and we'll see and first things first we've got to take care of the credit card bills and get these fucking vacations and this gods forsaken convention done and over with.
Happy fucking May... I have the extreme pleasure of going to work tomorrow...
