Day 93: Update Day

 

This is what it feels like most days in my house. Would you believe my oldest cat decided he wanted my seat and wouldn't stop annoying me until I got up and moved seats. Then the youngest cat decided he wanted me to sit in the bedroom while he lay on the bed, so he did the same whole annoying thing until I moved to the bedroom.

I blame it on the freaking wet weather... yes, you guessed it, it's raining.

I forgot to tell you. The night Monsoon slept over she ended up sleeping for 14 hours straight. And then spent the next day with me while her mum was at work. At least the flooding went down some and Hurricane and Cyclone could get to school.

Today I'm back to working on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes with Kisses and watching NYC murder cases.

Today is also Hurricane and Cyclone's last day of school before the Easter holidays. At least their mum will be home to look after them.

Day 92: Happy Birthday Sis.

 


Happy Birthday, Brenny.
May you have a better day tomorrow. 
Because I know today is going to suck.

Day 91: Unexpected Sleepover

 

Today I had Hurricane and Monsoon after school, because Aunty Yace was flooded in. Lucky for me both girls fell asleep. Hurricane work up, when her mum and Cyclone pulled up after dance practice. Monsoon didn't. So, guess who's getting a sleep over.

They were a bit miffed that it was still raining so they were still stuck inside. Yes, while Hurricane watched her videos on my phone. I was stuck watching Twirly Woos with Monsoon. Also, about three hours of her laying on me, sticking her face in mine and asking, "Can I get a Chee Hoo." Over and over while laughing her head off. All I can say is thank God I'm having trouble with Disney+, or I'd be stuck watching Moana 2 over and over.

I worked on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes with Kisses... in longhand.

Also watching murders in LA and NYC and how they caught them... very interesting. Some I even remember being on TV. Or I recognise the people in the episodes.

Day 90: April Already

 Today I started the day off by taking mum to her podiatry appointment. The technician was 20 minutes late; then on the way home I realized why, because mum and I got caught in roadworks for 30 minutes... a freaking pain in the ass.

Finally got home and had Monsoon waiting for me, because she didn't want to be at home while her mother tried to mow before the rain comes back this arvo. She ended up staying with me from 11am, to just after 5:30 pm when Hurricane and Cyclone finished swimming lessons... Do you understand how many times I had to watch The Minions and Twirly Woos.

Though after she left, I watched a doco on the white hats... a group of people who rescue others in the war. That one was both interesting and very sad. I would hate to live through anything like that.

I didn't get writing done today because I also had to spend most of the time reading Where's Santa's Elf while Monsoon searched for everything that needed to be found... longest 6 hours of my life.

Day 89: Miss Sassy Pants

 

Today I had Hurricane after school while her sister, Cyclone was at dance practice. Monsoon was visiting her Aunty Yace. And of course, it's still raining so it's as boring as hell. Let's just say Captain Underpants was watched. Though she did appreciate that I had her a big bowl of garlic potatoes and salami slices to snack on (weird combination I know).

I did have Monsoon in the morning while her mom was attending school parade, then she went home. I gave her some wipes and let her wipe over all the kitchen cupboards she had a blast.

Today while working on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes Comes with Kisses. I watched a couple of documentaries. One was on Charles Manson. for the life of me I can't figure out what made people follow him so blindly. The second one I watched was on Spies and their gadgets and how they got caught out. It was interesting and I saw just how cruel certain people/countries were when it came to warfare like that. I would never have wanted to be a spy. You can probably tell I'm just slowly making my way through all the docos on the Netflix list.

Day 88: Chores Day


 Today I have been on a cleaning kick. I'm trying to keep on top of everything. My main chore for today where... 

1) Go and buy a new microwave, because the insides started peeling in mine and it was sparking up a storm. 
2) I cleaned the air fryer, toaster, and kettle.
3) I also rearranged some of the pantry.
4) I did 3 loads of washing
5) Swept out twice.

I wasn't feeling the best today, so, I was surprised I got as much done as I did.

I also worked on Hayden Falls 1: Christmas Wishes comes with Kisses, because that's the story that's currently talking to me. It's easier to work on what feels right then to force a story that's not quite fully formed in my mind yet.

And yes, it's still raining on and off.
