The lawn done been mowed. What else was I supposed to do?

IKR? As it turns out, teenagers can't go camping at a state park without an adult present. Not even responsible boy scouts who are almost 18.

Apparently I am now going camping on Tuesday. Sigh.

Tobey is 6 months old today.

Good morning! I need people to stop adding things to the calendar. Including myself. May is going to be a Month. I think I'll mow the lawn today. Orchestra rehearsal tonight. I've been asked to bring my mandolin for a fiddle group medley - they've never heard me play and may regret it, lol. Also I have to get the guest bed set up. I have plans to get one that is easy-peasy to set up but haven't gotten to it yet. Some day. Coffee!

Kitteh!

Cage and all Cage Parts are cleaned and drying in the sun. Bunny cage area is vacuumed and dusted and washed and etc. The girls are putting the small cabinet together. Both Pups are napping.

But he WUVs you!!

I have emptied the bunny cage of all supplies, trays, and grates. Next up is find a safe spot for birdie (whose birdcage sits on top of the bunny cage) and then see about getting the bunny cage outside. Hopefully I can do it in two stages. It's a huge 5' tall, steel cage with two levels and very heavy. Maybe one of the girls will help me carry them out. Yay! It's a Bunny Cage Booyah! Our thread. . . is a very very very fine thread with nice friends on the Hive we help each other to thrive and everything is cozy because of you! La-la, la-la-la, la . . . Jean, 6/2023

Good morning! I slept last night! What a difference a decent night of sleep makes in your whole outlook, lol. I have made preliminary plans for dd17's senior trip to CA (and a bit of Oregon) in about a year - probably late May/early June 2025. Though I will need more research and some advice on portions of the trip. Essentially we will be driving down the Pacific Coast Highway from Eugene to Big Sur-ish area and then over to Kings Canyon / Sequoia and then fly back from Fresno. The primary focus of the trip will be the Redwood National/State Forests and the big sequoias. And I expect we will want to see the Golden Gate Bridge and other amazing sights along the coast. I'm planning for 10 days. I have Some Things to accomplish today which include setting up the guest bed and seeing if I can get the giant bunny cage cleaned and into the garage. String quartet is this afternoon. I'm afraid I will forget about quartet. Taco soup for dinner. Coffee!

I keep forgetting to drink my coffee.

Good morning! I was awake most of the night again so brain is not quite functioning. The idiot brush truck just sped by my house without taking the branches I had out for them. Why were they driving so fast? 😡 Little Pup got ahold of Big Pup's harness and chewed off the buckle 🙄 There are probably things I need to be doing but I haven't yet had enough Coffee!

I wonder if it's more expensive for them to take it back as a return than to just send it to you. I've had used book errors where they refunded the money but told me to keep the book.

I just realized that if I get my two oldest girls' room cleared out, I can use it for an exercise space. Unless dd17 wants to move into it.

Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! 🎶 I've been to the eye-doc in a chevy with no name. 🎵 I borrowed ds28's car to bring the girls to the eye doctor for a checkup. Their prescriptions haven't changed much but their glasses are both in horrible condition, so we will need to get them replaced soon. In the meantime, because he so unfrequently checks his emails and texts, ds19 drove to his CC class which had been cancelled for today. Now I'm home. I got the trimmed shrubbery out to the curb for pickup tomorrow and vacuumed part of my bedroom and cleaned up the breakfast stuff and gave Chester his allergy medicine. Little Pup refuses to take any treats from me since I poisoned all his treats last week with medicine after his surgery. Now I am trying somewhat unsuccessfully to focus on things while dd15 sings all the alto parts to her choir pieces. Coffee!

Good morning! So glad dd had a good time at prom! I was awake at 3:30 again but eventually fell asleep and got up at 8:30. Now waiting to hear from the girls about their ETA so I can go pick them up. I have book club this afternoon. I didn't like the book but it's always fun to meet up with the group. I should probably get something done today. Coffee!

Good morning! The girls are off backpacking again. I got up and brought them to Kroger for a couple supplies and then to the meetup place. I need to do some tidying and look at possible summer CC classes with ds19. There is a neighborhood yard sale thing going on today, so if you are in the area be sure to stop by! Coffee!

Oooo that's so cool!

Why am I so braindead today?

Who is Grey?

Dd17 explained her project and material needs to the manager at The Depot of Homes and he said he would cover everything. So now we have 14 4x6s and a bunch of 1" wafer screws in our garage. Dd is super happy to have that part all taken care of.

Good morning! Tension is running high this morning due to scout backpacking prep and organization and Eagle Project planning and the girls giving each other unwanted advice. Gotta run. Coffee!

Ding Ding Ding!! A squillion points! No one in the entire room of 90 people knew the answer to this 😂

Just got back from Tacos and Trivia. Without looking it up, guess which YouTube video has the most views worldwide?

I need to start choosing and ordering end-of-school-year books. I usually find a lot of them on abebooks but since they aren't textbooks or workbooks it's easier to find nice quality copies that are in good condition.
