Welcome To the Cedar Grove

 Here's how my day went:
Woke up at 6 because hubby had to go to work. Woke up again at 8 with message from mum, got up and walked dogs, fed dogs, fish, rats... washed dishes. Made breakfast, ate breakfast then went to work. Got back from work... made lunch, changed sheets on the bed, started laundry, cleaned the rats' cage... work, work, work...

After having a couple of hours then had to go and pick up another dog to stay with us. Worked on a project with hubby, made dinner, ate dinner, and finished project, quick computer time before bed, and then FINALLY got to watch the first episode of the OA!

From just that episode, I can tell the series is going to be awesome!

 My days was turned on its head again with last minute things cropping up, as they so often do, so I didn't get all the things done, and certainly not any writing done, but such is life.  Took my car in to get the lights fixed and they had to keep it overnight too, not that that's an issue either, just one other thing to rearrange things for and Saturday's going to be a busy day as is.  Still, I will survive it all.

 So, I decided after yesterday's effort to try and do all my 'chores' in a chunk, get them out of the way first, and then settled down to write.

Most of the day later... I maybe got in a hour of writing.

I'm not feeling very productive.

 No, it's not some new kind of euphemism for something juicy... it's pretty much the contents of my day... after going to work at church that is, which was the same old same old.

You see, Saturday, since we're having trouble with a squirrel eating all the seed out of the bird feeder, I bought a baffle, only the pole was too skinny so it wouldn't attach to the pole. Instead of taking the baffle back, which I could have done, but that would have left us un-baffled and beset by squirrels, I bought a new pole system. It's one that we could, if we wanted, make really high, but since we want to see the birds out of our window, we didn't use the extension part, anyway...

Got home and installed the new pole, and put the baffle on the pole, used the old pole for wind chimes, thus creating a nice, relaxing garden set up... and at one point in the afternoon, while I was trying not to fall asleep in my chair to write, I had the bubbling of the solar powered fountain in the bird bath, and the wind chimes all drifting in through the window with the bird song. Just perfect!

 FRIDAY!!!! SPRING BREAK!!!

I think that says it all.

 Oh, wait... I know what happened... it was a full moon. OMFG. Talk about a totally crazy out of control day where I got nothing done, and kept getting interrupted even at that! Speaking of full moons... leave it to the weather to make it so that there was no chance of actually /seeing/ the last supermoon of 2019.

Annoyance of the day: Someone dumped a load of... well I don't know what they are, but it's trash, on our road, and my dogs keep trying to eat it. I'm /really/ mad about it. I'm going to have to go out and clean it up /before/ I can walk the dogs again, because gods know what it is, and I don't want them getting sick from it. People are just so damned inconsiderate!

A pleasant evening and an early night... they were much needed. 

 What a fabulous day!  Mostly... I mean... up early to go and walk in a 5K race might not necessarily be my idea of fun on an intellectual level, but wow, just wow what a great day it truly was.  I really pushed myself and slashed a whole minute (slightly more actually) off my time from the last 5K I did back in October... but heavens am I feeling it now!

 It was a really tough Thursday... no teacher at school, substitute little better than a warm body in the room - not unusual, but frustrating none the less, but even so, I left work feeling positive, feeling good about the way I handled the day... until evening.

 Hardly remember, even overnight, what all was involved in the day. Staying up late the day before, though worth it, caught up with me and all day long, I was exhausted and 'running on faith' as it were.

Tuesday is one of my late nights too, so I didn't finish working until late, and though I tried not to be I'm pretty sure I was like a bear with a sore head. I don't do well with being tired, and tired and sick together, not a good combination.

You know... when you meet someone for the first time and you get that instant feeling of wariness... had that today with someone at my evening job. I don't like being 'mistrustful' of people. It hurts my sensibilities, but it happened, and I dealt with it and tried to move past it by being approachable and polite, but... was it paranoia or intuition that caused it in the first place?
