Another Gorgeous Day
Since I completely messed up what week my father goes in for surgery & my mom's decided to have a low key mothers day at her house instead of mine, I have the whole day off with nothing to do. I was going to get up super early, get the lawn mowed and then either waste the day at the coffee house reading, knitting and drinking great coffee or putter around in my yard...or do both! It seems that my subconscious had other plans for me.
I remember the alarm going off when it set it, but instead of hitting snooze, I turned the thing off and ended up sleeping until 11:00. Let me say that again, I slept until 11:00 on my day off. Crazy. I had weird dreams that apparently my subconscious decided I really needed to stick around for. One of them has me scratching my head, Chad moved back to St. Cloud and I ran into him at a coffee house employee party. I was really uncomfortable and really just wanted to get the hell out of there. He spent the time not understanding why I didn't want to hug or talk to him. I finally ditched out early, after avoiding him the best I could while I was there, and woke up when he followed me out to try to talk to me. Where the hell did that come from? I haven't heard from him in months and don't plan on hearing from him anytime soon, if ever, cause thats just how he is. At first it was frustrating, because we started off as friends and thought that we would continue that, but I've come to accept that and wish him well. I know that I would be super uncomfortable if I just ran into him unexpected like that, especially considering that he shouldn't be in St. Cloud cause, you know, he's in the Army and all. I usually maintain friendships with people that I've dated, but in this case, the way things ended, I don't think at this point it would be very easy to just pick things up where they were left. I don't know why I'm thinking about this so much, it's just a dream, right?
Anyway, I slept until 11:00, which completely shot me getting the lawn mowed early and moving on to other things. Instead, I've completely put off mowing and have spent the morning watering my plants (new photos up at my Flickr account), admiring the plants in the yard and being excited at how big everything is so far, drinking coffee, smoking, puttering around the internets and just enjoying the gorgeous day. Hopefully this evening, I will actually get around to mowing the lawn, it's really starting to look shaggy.
Speaking of grass, the area that I seeded with grass next to the patio has finally started to grow! When I put in the plants that my mom gave me, I ended up digging up a lot of the area next to the patio. I seemed like it was never going to grow and all that time spent watering it was for nothing. But, there is some lovely fresh grass growing and perhaps that will encourage me to seed some of the other bare patches in the yard.
I'm off to putter some more. I think it's going to be very hard this year to motivate myself to do anything more than either sit on my patio and putter in the yard this summer. Doesn't sound like a bad way to spend the summer, now does it?
