Robert Louis Stevenson said this about me years before I was even born

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

GG, I remember that poem. It was in one of my Childcraft books! What a nostalgic treat this is for me, TY.

The sun is finally shining up here. My part of CT didn't get much more than an inch of snow, but we did have some ice buildup, then lots of rain.

Nothing to do except housework; I spare you all of the same old drudgery.

Glad you mentioned the storm. I had wondered if you had been getting much impact of it, RR.
Did you get the very strong wind gusting all afternoon and evening and overnight?

And, please don't think you are boring me, if you do my housework. 🙃😄😁☺️🥰
 
I'm home. Just in case you've forgotten, today is the Ides of March.

Working alone is hard, hard work, but I finished a few minutes early thanks to Retired Lady having prepped for me. Woohoo!

I uncovered the flowers because I felt sorry for them all wrapped up in their plankets. The sun is shining brightly and they wanted to turn their little faces up to it. We may get frost again tonight, but so far they've been predicting a hard freeze...and there's no frost on the rooftops or on the windshield on DD's car when I leave in the morning. Fingers crossed 🤞 that tonight's safe, too, because I want to keep looking at the flowers. They're all cool-weather flowers.

Maggiecat still hasn't ventured beyond the door to the back hall. She's a fraidy cat.
 
@Kaila Correction: @Trila I'm glad kitty was able to supervise your fire. They are so good at that!

My language partner texted me this morning, saying above-freezing temperatures are predicted for tomorrow. He congratulated me for surviving my second winter here. I hope my winter blahs go away soon.

I find myself without eggs, so I guess I'll have to go to the grocery store. I'm up a bit earlier than usual, so it might work.

Exercise, laundry, host online trivia game. Basically just get through the day.

@NorthernLight That was @Trila who has a cat with many more talents, than mine could ever dream of having!;):giggle:
It's very easy to get posts and names confused, here amongst so many (so many posts, members, and kitties, that is! :LOL:)
So don't worry about the bit of confusion, but I thought she might want to pass your compliment on to the appropriate cat.:sneaky:😸

Your day today, sounds busy to me, I hope you manage it, and that you enjoy some parts of it, too.:)
 
Well the lawn guy is done with my yard cleanup for spring...picked up all the small limbs, raked up all leaves, a lot,
and general cleanup...also hauling away a rubbermaid shed I
chose to get rid of...don't need it any longer...the yard looks good ...100ft x 45ft....oh and it is 63deg F....wow.....
 
Waiting in today for my new specs to arrive from the online Opticians... . Haven't got a delivery time, which is a shame because it means I can't go up the garden in case I don't hear the doorbell

Nothing else planned. Got woken much too early by a lot of banging somewhere down the street . when I opened the blinds I couldn't see where it was coming from.
 
Will shovel sNOw…..sNOwed from supper time to bed time yesterday…..a couple of inches, not bad, fluffy stuff……but it’s still sNOw. 😏.
Will do the grocery thing, and get the mail.

Hoping to get over the hurt mood from last nite.
Yes…..here we go again.
Foster daughter…..
Haven’t heard from them for a month…..so I messaged them last nite to see how they’re doing, etc…..asked why so long from hearing from them.
BIG MISTAKE !!!!!!!!!……I GOT DUMPED ON !!!!!!!!! 😕😒☹️😢😢😢😢😢😢.

Never have voice calls…..she doesn’t want to do that…..WHY NOT.🤔🙁.

So, maybe grocery shopping will brighten things up. 🥴🤨😉.
 
Yesterday's trip into town was not overly productive. We only went to look at one fitness center, and it actually has been closed for a few years. No wonder I hadn't heard of that one!!

We did finally find were they are putting in a roller rink. Doesn't that sound great? A roller rink, right here in town, again!!! Well...NOT! It was so small!! They are remodeling a store that is in a strip mall...it's tiny as can be! I looked through the window. It looks like it will be a birthday venue for little kids parties. I guess I'll still be going to Branson for my skating!! 👍

On the way home, we picked up a pizza 🍕. Does that count as going out for dinner? 😅

Tomorrow is the big school party at the roller rink. Since I will be leaving so early in the morning, my whole schedule for today has been shifted. There is a chance that I may pop into The Sunroom now and then, but probably not. I will continue to be behind in reading posts. (sigh)

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm broke! Shopping this morning, and it was a relative expensive one. Our old filter coffee maker decided to start making loud banging noises, so it was time for a new one. Needed new ink cartridges for my printer - it would have been as cheap to buy a printer. And so it went on. Just about everything was up in price, except alcohol which seems to be steady.

Funny enough, Mrs, L was asking when Mothers' day was. We don't bother with these things, just another excuse to relieve us of our money. Next thing will be Easter, but we don't bother with that either.

@Kaila
Are you referring to my very spoiled outdoor cat, Andy?

(Here, he is enjoying the best of all his worlds: he is by Dio's shoes, he is inside, and he is in the sun! What more can he possibly need? 😅)
