ravena_kadeLast week the Banker cousin said that her back was having a family outing at a place where we would all go to as kids for ice cream. They said that their 93 year old Mom would not be able to handle it so they asked I wanted to go. I said yes as I like "doing things". Dad said he could come over to be with the 93 year old as she is not able to be alone in case she falls. Last night Dad goes over tp watch the baseball game with them and they tell him that they are taking their Mom instead of me.
Today I started early and put in 4 hours of yard work. Dad has contacted the place he wants to mow the yard. He did not get a hard date when they were coming. The weeds are hip high and it is hard for me to work... and the yard is full of bugs. I told him that if they dont come this week I will start weed whacking and mowing and dump all the grass cuttings in his car. This is pissing me off.
Then Dad runs into the contractor cousin at breakfast. Dad asks when they are coming back to finish the work (and get the crap out of MY way) and the answer is soon. He needs to finish up another job first. This is stupid. I am going away the 17...dont fuck up my away time. 2 months of waiting for only really 7 days worth of real work. I know this is common with contractors, but if his equipment isn't out go my yard in 2 weeks I am going to push it out into the street.
Since my plans were changed we went to Nahant to a restaurant I like there. We arrived early so I could walk the beach. The water was warm and the sand so smooth. First time barefoot in sand this year. It wasn't a great shell walk, but I was happy to be barefoot. Fun that the sand is soft but there are no sand dollars there.
After dinner we went for an ice cream and then I walk the home beach. Its funny, but I like to think that the home beach gets jealous when I go to other beaches and make comparisons. Today it showed me fish, a horseshoe crab and even tried to give me a moon snail...the shell was broken, but at least she tried. Moon snails do not live at my beach so for my beach to get one she had to reach deep ;-)
Funny, I think of beaches as feminine, but 99% the ones here are named after men.

Were they raised by wolves?

Date: 2022-06-07 12:47 am (UTC)The thing with the cousins is that in my head Sundays are family days... to spend with Dad...and Dad wants to spend it at their house. Since we see them all the time they no longer think of us as company and treat me like another sibling.. Im not. I put up with it. I also put up with it because I know any day we might get a call that my Aunt may not be here. No one expected my Mom to go from a broken arm...but then C Diff...No one expected my Aunt Tresa to go this January. They day we found out she was sick she died hours later.
