We finally got out of the house and I was able to pick up things I needed. We went to Dollar Tree and I wound up spending a bit more than anticipated but it was still only about $20 in the end. Then a quick trip to Food Lion got me everything else that I was looking for. The problem is I wasn’t expecting to get back as late as we did and I wound up not cooking the Sausage and Peppers as originally planned tonight. Karen was already eating when we got home and I know for a fact that Sean wouldn’t bother with it so I wound up just making some pasta and I’ll just cook it all tomorrow.
Karen’s friend is going to be here this weekend, Sean hates her so I can only imagine how well this is going to go. They’re going to spend the day in Ocean City so I’m sure that’ll take some stress off of him. She complains that he drinks to much, meanwhile the minute she walks in the door is typically when anyone would grab for the booze. I don’t know the woman yet and I’m more than positive that she’s going to drive me to drink. I know people who have never TOUCHED alcohol who would probably consider picking up a new hobby after coming in contact with this woman.
Anyway, Karen and I wound up outside after dinner cleaning up the yard. There were a few tree’s growing a long the side of the house that weren’t actually trees at all…just a lot of weeds that seemed to appear over night. The gardeners in this complex do NOT get anywhere near the house when they’re mowing the lawns. Because of this, there are bushes of tall grass growing around the house that aren’t supposed to be there. If any of the fuckers spoke English it would be easier to tell them to get NEAR the house when they’re doing this stuff instead of just kicking all the grass up to the back of the house. It’s now mutated into a mini-hill that’s hard to dig through. We got it done though, the front of the house can wait a few days before we get in there to clean it out. We need a new wire on the weed wacker, something I’ll be picking up tomorrow anyway.
For now I’m just getting some small things done and I’m also doing a little bit of editing to the header image I made for Shauna’s template and then I’ll work on getting the rest of the kitchen cleaned up. The counters are taken care of around the back wall – the Island is the real hell hole that’s filled with mail, newspapers, and little packets that just need to be sifted through and thrown out. It’s a quick 15 minute job, I just have to get my ass in gear on it.
