Weekly Update

[fuzzyred]

I didn't make a weekly post last week, though I did make a signal boost or two so I at least managed to put something up. The motivation just fled last week, though it seems to be back a little bit now.

Over the last two weekends, my dad came over and helped me with my tree trimming. The mountain ash (I think) in my backyard has a fork in it, and one side appeared totally dead. As it shares a fence with the alley, I really didn't want it coming down, possibly on a car or people. The dead bit has now been trimmed, and I'm hopeful that it will still get berries this year, and will be healthy next year.

I also have three lilac trees in my yard, two of which are older and varying degrees of overgrown. Those got trimmed as well, so the healthy bits are left and they got tangle with wires or neighbours fences. I also have more of my patio and sidewalk back now, since the branches that were low and overhanging have been cut back. I like the lilacs, but I would prefer it if they were slightly more tame than they are now. All that's left is to wait for next spring and see if I get flowers on them still. *fingers crossed*

I spent the better part of the last two weeks fighting (and losing) with the dishes, but I finally got them all done, and I even cleaned all the baking dishes right away after I made double chocolate chip cookies on Tuesday.

I haven't made much progress on the various indexing and edited tasks I have, but I did get a bit done, and I'm hoping to get more done soon.

All in all, this week has been better than last, and I'm hoping it continues. How are y'all doing?

Congrats on your tree-trimming. Lilacs apparently bloom well if they're trimmed right after their bloom for the year, so here's hoping yours come back strong next year.

...I have some trimming I need to do. My lilac is trying hard to eat the fence.

I'm... busy. Sad tired scared floaty, honestly. But I caught a brain-misbehavior yesterday, and if I can keep a rein on it, it ought to help with future brainweird too.

I haven't really done much this week.

I went mini fridge window shopping on Tuesday, and had a lovely dinner with a friend after, I'm trying to figure out which debts I can pay down or eliminate with unemployment, but that's about it.

I'ma need more coffee soon because I'm almost out, and I can't really afford bags of it right now (I's a sad, coffee it is my life right now)...but other than that I'm just like

...

Meh, let me just lay in bed while the world turns.

Lilacs bloom on old wood, but even if there aren't a lot of blossoms next year it will make up for it spectacularly the year after.

yaaaay
