I had my friend stopover and look at my bushes. He is 100% sure they need to come out.I wish I would of called him first to give me his thoughts before I sprayed. I learned a good old fashioned lesson. Everyone is trying to sell their service to "help" you. Ugh.
He has offered to clean all the beds and trim everythng back and rip out all the bushes that are a wreck and full of scale and mites. He gave me a very good price and lets face it he knows how to do it. He will come back in the spring and we will work on freshing up things.
I told him I thought my yard looked bad. He kindly said it looked really good and I have done pretty good.
So hopefully the first part of November, after all the leaves have fallen and we have them pretty much raked up..... we will get things done for fall and ready for winter.
Yesterday we had pizza from Dominos. If I picked up the pizzas I could get a medium one topping for $3.99. So I bought three and we had dinner and four school lunches for today filled with pizza. I was pretty impressed. The manager said she was just running a special. I think that was my best deal of the week.
My middle daughter had her ingrown toe nail fixed yesterday. She ended up being a basket case getting it done....she was numb but she was so worried she basically cried the entire time. So she got to stay home all day yesterday. Today she got to wear a tennis shoe on one foot and a flip flop sandal on the other. She enjoyed looking silly. I am sure she will enjoy all the attention at school today.
My ex is sill acting all weird. I am thinking he needs to see a threrapist now. I can't tell him that but I feel a bit sorry for "her" as he can't be much of a dream boat right now. Well as long as his checking account is filled she has to be happy. I am sure she can deal with some insanity issues.
It sure got cold here....but being pre-menepausal it is fine by me. I always have a window cracked here and there to function. I figured it was cold this morning at 6am as my silly indoor black cat OREO escaped out the front door and bolted for the bushes and the street. I was out chasing a black cat in tennis shoes and a night gown in the dark. I kept yelling at the cat and I am positive my neighbor turned her lights on to see what was going on! At that point I really wondered if I was more insane than my ex!!!!
Have a good Thursday---

I AM finding more and more humor in it all......and not taking things so heavy or over-processed like he is.
A good gal pal who has been thru a divorce said some things you need to get very bothered about other things are just annoying....try to make most of it just annnoying and not too terribly stressful. I thought tht was a good insightful statement. Life is full of annoying things. It is part of living in this big awesome world!
