so i found out my dad was the mystery gardener haha. he didn't even tell us, he told my mom (they're not married, but they're civil and they talk sometimes). i'm going to call him and thank him just as soon as i can actually relax. such a busy day at work, it was ridiculous. richie is working on the back yard right now. soon my whole house will ( Read more... )

we came home today to find that someone had mowed our front lawn and planted several flowers/some other kind of plant in our flower box. not only planted new flowers, but dug out the old ones that died over the winter and remulched it too. had to have taken a while. no one who lives here did this. WEIRD.

i like singing to my cats. it's a great way to start the day. you can make up whatever words you want, and as long as their name is in it, they get all excited about it and sometimes chirp along with you. i know that sounds very "crazy cat lady" but i'm ok with that. anyone who knows my cats knows how much the rule and could probably understand ( Read more... )

saturday night, my sister, my dad, and i went to see george carlin at the meyorhoff. that man is so amazing. he turned 70 this year, and he's still going strong. he had us laughing so hard we were crying. talked about a lot of things that were extremely appropriate to us, like stuff we had been discussing lately, and he said "parents should warn ( Read more... )

it's so frustrating only being able to take the smallest steps forward and not being in control of it or really knowing what's going on with other people. brian is still here. it's august 14. he was told june 1st to be out by august 1st, but he didn't get it together. procrastination, irresponsibility? i don't know what the excuse is, but as it ( Read more... )

so here's the rest of the stuff that's been going on lately. heather moved in with mike, in a place he's renting in elkton. that's like an hour away, it's ridiculous. heather quit working at the shop (for several reasons) and is now enjoying being a "housewife" as she puts it. basically mike told her she doesn't have to work, since he's making ( Read more... )

i can't even express how much better i've felt mentally lately. things finally seem to be going in the right direction. it really helps having the house less cluttered. with less things and less people. less people means more space, and rearranging and renovating is very therapeutic to me. things being in disorder makes me feel mentally ill for ( Read more... )

so when nick said asap he really meant asap. he completely moved everything out by sunday night. and of course he left the room a complete wreck, which heather and i took 2-3 hours cleaning that night. there were stains on the carpet that i asked him to use oxyclean on at least 6 months ago and he never did. the oxyclean did lighten them, but they' ( Read more... )

my house seems to be emptying faster than i thought. nick is moving in with will asap. they are moving into the house where we used to have all our parties (the house belongs to will's mom), which is very closeby. nick hasn't known about this very long, and i've known about it even shorter time (try 2 days haha), but its a good decision. we all ( Read more... )

i haven't really updated in a while. but anyway, i'm not on vicodin anymore which makes me happy. they switched me over to naprocin and it works just as well but i'm not gonna build up a tolerance to it, and it's not a narcotic. i was a little leary of it at first, because basically it's just prescription aleve, but it's also an anti-inflammatory ( Read more... )
