The lawn, this time
Jun. 16th, 2006 10:07 pmThis 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.
