I almost forgot “The News” again.
I’m clean, fed and tired so naturally I was thinking about being horizontal and not keeping my eyes open. This morning (& several before) I was reminded that I really needed to cut the tiny lawn in back. Between regular shows (rain) and a complaining back I had successfully neglected cutting the grass. I knew it was getting long and going to seed. Closer examination re-enforced that idea. In some places it was 10” tall. OK I decided that TODAY was THE day. Then the dreaded “as long as you’re making a mess cutting the grass I really aught to – and that list grew and grew and ____ .” The row of Lantanas were taking over and well out into the grass area AND crowding the vehicular work area. The Bougainvillea along the South wall of the building were up to the gable attic vents and the one next to the new fence was headed for the neighbor’s back yard. When those items were addressed and there was only some grass clipping remaining to deal with, my mind wondered (Imagine That). It reminded me that all I’d eaten today was 2 donuts and a small glass of milk about 7:00 AM and it was getting dark. Halt, prioritize re-evaluate, I have some excellent ground chuck – never frozen - After a good scrubbing in the shower I knew it was time to eat. Dinner in the courtyard with a book. Now it absolutely is time to call it a night.
