Gettin' dirty on the back porch.

So I did a little much needed gardening last weekend. I pulled out the tomatoes and peppers that were totally done and the flowers that I'd killed from lack of watering. (It's not my fault! You know, I was out of the country and really busy and stuff and THIS time I won't let that happen)

I planted more flowers and I replaced the tomatoes and peppers with collards and swiss chard. The weather still seems warm enough for them. I know you are supposed to have lettuce in the fall and hopefully I will but really it seems like its not cool enough yet for that. It's all a learning experience (scince I don't know what the goddess I'm doing) so we will see.

This is the west side window box I finally planted. I still need big, strong C to put it up for me.

Monday, Monday.. Can't trust that day

Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah.
But whenever Monday comes---but whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime.

Okay, I have a pretty busy week ahead of me. Goal #1 is to find where I misplaced my motivation, and locating my attention span would be nice too. #2 Get a serious start on that Newsletter. #3 Get back to practicing belly dance everyday. #3 Clean the fucking house and do the goddamn laundry (yes, cussing is necessary in this case). #4 Get actual work done at WORK. #5 water the plants

I am getting a little out of control. Bills are out of control. My house is out of control. My plants are dying. And my workload is out of control. It's the Out of Control part of my cycle of dysfunction. I'll get it back together for a few weeks until I get PMS, or sick or incur some random monetary expense and it will all go to hell again. Barring any of those events life will still slowly fall into disarray anyway, thereby throwing me into the state of craziness once again.

My house is a nightmare and I even spent all of saturday cleaning it. I got to everything except the bedroom which will probably take a day in itself. I should post a picture of it just to shame myself.

Everything was looking really good on Saturday but then I had people over for dinner on Sunday and the kitchen became a disaster zone again. I think C is going to help me with that tonight though. So my main priority is the bedroom.

As soon as the house is clean I think I can get started on the rest of the stuff. Having the house messy really stresses me out. Sometimes I don't notice that it has been wearing on me until I clean it and suddenly I feel like I can take full breaths again. I guess it's the whole Feng Shui thing. Unfortunately I can't keep it clean no matter how hard I try. If it didn't bother me it wouldn't be so bad but it does, so there ya go.

I have belly dance rehearsal tonight and after that it is clean the bedroom time! So exciting.

Anyway, to pick up the mood of this post I'll leave you with some pictures of my artichokes which are the only healthy thing in my garden.

Cheers - L
