The lawn, this time

This weekend it really really must be lawn care time. Really. My usual weekend routine is shot because the laptop isn't back from the shop yet, so I can't take the morning's downloads off to my favorite cafe -- or even out onto the deck. And, of course, I'm pulling out all the anti-insomnia stops for the duration until Mom's diagnosis settles into "the new normal" (with a tip of the hat to aastg for that phrase). This consists primarily of: 1) drinking lots of fluids before bed (dehydration makes me sleep badly); 2) especially Celestial Seasonings "Tension Tamer" tea (it may be a placebo, but I'm a firm believer in the efficacy of placebos); 3) leaving the radio on low while I sleep. The living room is looking very bare at the moment, which is a trifle unsettling. The sewing machine is still out, though, so maybe I'll get started on that new fabric I picked up. And the lawn. Must do the lawn.
