Messes, Plans, Flamin' Groovies Despair, and Summer

updated to add: the Flamin' Groovies have unblocked Owen. Life can now resume.

It's summer. Full on summer. I'm sitting in the front yard watching Ernie weed and pull out plants as per my direction. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. He's pretty great. I am trying to stop scratching my mosquito bites as I sit in the shade and drink iced tea. Wednesday of my vacation week. I even did a bit of work earlier so I feel virtuous despite being lazy.

Leo's room makeover seems to have come to a halt as we let him set up his new computer. Really. You'd think I would have known better. I'm beginning to feel as though we are looking like hoarders with all his room crap spread all over the dining room and living room....but it can't go back until we get new shelves up on the wall and the table in the living room can't go back until the shelves are installed and well...you get it. I have sworn we will get the shelves done today. Although last night Ernie warned me I was planning an awful lot for today. "We'll get that done on Wednesday." "Oh, let's plan to finish that up on Wednesday," etc., etc. Thus far we've checked two things off our list for the morning so I have hope.

In other, sad news, the Flamin' Groovies blocked Owen on Twitter because he asked if they were going to make a statement as to why George Alexander wasn't going to play with them live. He was just worried. Now he's blocked and he's devastated....absolutely devastated. I feel terrible for him. He loves them so much and he has a tender heart. Damn it.

Well....onward.

Summer in the yard. Not our best year in the garden, but then again, not our worst.
