I'm getting tired of writing that - "still no news".
I don't actually remember if I was still up or if I woke up, but somehow I was up around 7 or 7:30 this morning and decided to tackle the weeds in the back yard. I finally took some pictures so you can see at what cost my time in Arizona took on my yard. Well,
actually, it was kinda long before I left. In fact, I think trying to cut it before I left might have killed my
lawnmower cause it sure as heck doesn't work now.
Anyway, I was out there this morning, trying to get my yard sale special gas weed eater to start, which it did, but not for more than 30 seconds at a time, and even then it wouldn't cut down some of those trees. So I went and got my old reliable electric one, which I keep charging in the garage, and it was cutting through what it could, and then... it ran out of string, or plastic or whatever you call the whacker stuff. I took that as a pretty sure sign to go back to bed. I looked on the bottom of the weedeater and got the size of the wack-stuff and then went back to bed, until 6:30pm.
Really, this is getting a little ridiculous, this sleeping all day, but the sun doesn't even set until 9pm and it's over 100 degrees right now, which is a heat wave for here, so what would i have been doing anway. I told mom that we really needed to go shopping. This weekend wouldn't have been good because it was tax free weekend where they take the sales tax off of clothes and accessories for everything you can put on your body, for going back to school. Alex and her parents and sisters went shopping today and I guess they did it up good. Anyway, not a good time for mom and I to be among the madding crowd.
But, tomorrow we need food and I need to get a bunch of household things. That will give me a good reason to get out of bed. That and I really need a shower. Whew - I don't even want to stand next to me. Of course, it might get me a line of my own in grocery store. I know it used to work at the book sales. But I can't stand it any more. Even Ozzy isn't sleeping with me now. He's on the floor. I'm too stinky for a dog. That's a claim to shame no one would want.
I also figure that if I'm up and around in the daytime I will remember to call my doctor and try to get the results of the test. I tried the route of just leaving it to them to call me. Yeah, that doesn't work so well. I had an ekg taken at Dr. Levins office and never did get the results, and he sent me to get an upper GI and three months later, when I finally did ask, turns out I had gastritis and should have been on Prevacid. I need to be a little more proactive. Let you know.

My house on Beautiful got that bad once. It took four of us working together to get it back into shape. Don't be afraid to ask for help, it goes a lot faster that way too.
Hope you get a chance to go to your doc soon. If nothing else getting those results back would be a very good thing. Stay cool during your heat wave, and try to pick up something fun when you are shopping. :)
take heart, apparently the hose i left laying across the yard sprung a leak and was leaking for days. I noticed that section of the yard appeared to be growing faster than the other but thought it was due to the pool backwash. it wasn't. took me two days to cut 1/2 of the backyard. i kept jumping into the pool to cool down. is mowing your lawn wearing nothing but sneakers and a cowboy hat dangerous? Forgot one thing, i was wearing sunglasses so i had eye protection. take care
You ain't seen weeds until you see mine! It's a jungle. A weedwacker would do nothing, I have to use the scythe! haha
Good luck getting that taken care of.
I have been absent from blog reading for a bit, so I am going to read your others and catch up!
