Sigh

[siercia]

Today started out as such a great day. Widget (kind of) slept in, until 8:30 or so. Wiley gave her breakfast, and I headed out to get the rest of my vegetable into their bed (more on that in a few). They came out to join me after she ate, and we puttered around in the yard for a while. My neighbor, who has a gorgeous yard poked her head over the fence and asked if I wanted some violets, and when I went over there to dig them, ended up giving me three other plants as well. I know she was just thinning out, but it was nice of her to offer. So I planted those too, and started shifting my bulbs around a bit as well (They were to spaced out this year - for next year I'm arranging them in bunches of clumps).

Finished that up, cleaned myself off, got Widget ready, and we headed off to our friends Bill and Linda's place to help them get their boat ready for the season. Somewhere in there, Hannah's whining really pissed me off and put me in a bad mood.

Widget and I hung out with Linda while Wiley and Bill worked on the boat. First, Widget headbutted me, giving me a lovely cut and bruise under my eye. Then we went outside, and in crawling around, she stumbled and gave herself a bloody nose (and I'm trying to calm her down, and stop her from bleeding, and Linda's giving me grief about how I need to just "calm down" I almost slugged her) and got two huge bug bites (one right on her eyelid). Then, as we're leaving, Widget leans forward in her car seat right as I'm buckling the clip that goes across her chest, and I catch her lip in it, which brings more bleeding and more screaming. Wiley calmed her down this time, and we make the trek home. But, not surprisingly, all this has left her a little on edge, and she spends most of the rest of the day crying over EVERYTHING. Which, given that I'm already sick of listening to whining, is nota good combination.

Then, once we get home, I'm trying to relax a bit instead of rushing around to get ready to go out to help a friend do the "it's over" celebration for the CFA exam she took today, and Wiley keeps trying to rush me, which I don't need (And for the record, I was all of 4 minutes late getting there, and that had more to do with the stupid people in Dorchester). So we have dinner, and it's fun and all, I guess. They all went to get ice cream - I started to, then saw that the line for JP Licks was out to the sidewalk, and I bailed on the idea.

Now I just feel blah. Guess I'll go to bed.

OMG that cat is adorable.

Its my parents' cat. The pics are about a year old, so she's significantly larger now (and with fur again.) According to my mother, she's a sweetheart now, too... I hope so, because I don't want the cat chewing on my toes while I try to sleep when I go to visit.

Kittens bounce!

Missed you at ice cream..

You didn't see Matt and I because we were already inside, I guess. Line was long...about 20 minutes.

I appear to have absolutely nothing I can say here.
