You know you're ready for spring when...
Feb. 5th, 2021 08:09 amYou have a dream that it is Xmas, and your gladiolas and snapdragons in your yard are blooming! It was kinda nice...
Speaking of which...My (mother's-now-my) Xmas cacti started blooming at Thanksgiving. They had a "surge" in magenta-colored blooms at Xmas, as you might expect...and they have never stopped! There has been a small fall back, but now it looks like I will have Valentine blooms out the wazoo! The 2 plants love being under the sky light, and I think that's why they do so well here but never flowered when my mom had them. These are at least 10 years old now.
Well, The Mothership got her 2nd COVID shot. Hopefully I start mine next week. 2 employees have tested positive this week. (WTF?) and a few more students are excused to Zoom instead of coming to school. (Prob quarantined due to exposure but not actively sick / positive)
I have a neighbor who works as a mechanic. He works out of his own garage and tends to park either his or other clients' cars along the street, which makes maneuvering down the street especially tricky on Trash Day and when we have snow. Once I had to call the cops because he had a huge-honkin' Hummer parked right in front of my house for 3 days! (His vehicle; not a client's, however, I did not know this) Dude has so many cars go in and out I have had no idea whose is whose car. Yesterday a huge-ass white car-van-truck "thing" (bigger than a Yukon or a Durango) was parked in front of my house when I got home. This is one thing to pull in the driveway with that there and another to try to back out in the early AM if it stays there. It's also no bueno on trash day. I did not say anything and luckily it's gone as of this AM. Last time when I called the cops, I had no idea who was putting vehicles there, but they were parked precariously, and I was genuinely concerned about someone hitting this unknown Hummer by accident. Tom, the mechanic was notified that there was a complaint, and altho the police swore they would not give out my name, I think he figured it out by elimination. He's been uppity and unfriendly ever since and it's been a year now.
I feel bad about it and I don't.
RainBowBoy had his 1 year check up yesterday. Hoping to hear how that went soon. This kid is teething like a maniac and still no teeth! My guess is he's getting 4 all at once. (He has the 2 bottom ones but nothing else.) The babysitter is still out sick from COVID-related issues. I can't help out due to my job for a whole week.
The Survivor Idol writing event is getting crazy. I just want to write...
