My Clematis!

View attachment 20763

That big already! Beauty!
I also always wanted a clematis. A red one. I planted one once at my old house. My neighbor, who normally wouldn't even mow the tiny strip between his property and mine, decided, just once, to weed eat around the post I planted the stem. It was gone

I found a bag of a red gladiola plant I should plant.

I concur.
I am working, and often wish to be furloughed--but I really am careful what I wish for, so I just stop short ...
Everything is so uncertain, can't stand it. no motivation. doing weird stuff just to do things, but nothing really productive. I just tried making seitan by washing flour. disaster
What are your nursing goals?

I'm a registered nurse in school to become an advanced practice nurse so I can see my own patients in the primary care setting. I'll be dual certified to practice adult-geronology primary care medicine and women's health once I graduate, that I'm told will happen next year.....

I have done a load of laundry (as usual!) and hung it outside to dry. I have played fetch with my dog and cleaned the bathroom too.

I need to pull up the weeds this week, I will do later in the week as I'm not even sure the garden waste is being collected at the moment.

I'm going to start my new book today.

Another day. The washing is on, dishwasher on & I'm trying to do some transcription work with a small child that is yet to nap ?! so that's going badly.

Later this afternoon I'll do the weekly shop in aldi which will probably be the highlight of my week hahaha.

Morning/afternoon y'all! It is pleasantly cool this morning with bright sunshine. It is going to be a perfect day! I have no plans as usual. I need to go to the post office and mail a package and I need to shop for some things eventually. Right now I have little ambition!
It has been announced by the county, that there will be graduation ceremonies for the high school seniors in July. They will limit the attendance which they always do but this will be more severe so I don't know if I will be even "invited" to attend. They give the students a certain number of tickets; this time it may be only a very few. We shall see.

Good morning! For some odd reason I woke up early this morning (5:50 am) and wasn't able to fall back to sleep. I snuck out of bed, made a cup of coffee and read in the living room until 7:30 when E got up. I feel like I've had half a day and it should be lunchtime!

Monday's alway feel like cleaning days to me.

Happy Mother's Day

Oh, shoot! Yesterday wasn't Mother's Day. It is not even next Sunday.
I did get my Sister's birthday right.

 

[Chryssie]

Is it Mother's Day somewhere? According to my calendar it is May 10 in the US.

Maybe it is like Happy Hour. It's Happy Hour somewhere.

What a gorgeous color! It's a beauty. We have Clematis on our countryside plot too, but it's bright pink.

I gave blood yesterday. There was a huge drive at a lovely bar. Of course social distance and no drinking at the location. There were three buses. The turn out was insane. One blood said it was the best event since all of this stuff. They were running low.

That's awesome! I need to go to the next blood drive around here. I am O negative which is the universal donor so I really should donate.

Well, their gift was a free pint when they open up again. Also, a pretty nice metal water bottle. It is one of my favorite bars around me. Fabulous tap selection. We have been going weekly for 3 weeks for a growler.
Today I cooked all day. The Shepard's pie and started my kimchi. First attempt, I hope I do not screw it up.
I am thinking of making Asian bbq jackfruit tacos and using the kimchi as the slaw.
I did my yoga, pokemon walk for a bit of exercise.

I woke up this morning at 6:36 a.m., but I was so disoriented that I thought it was 6:36 p.m. on Sunday night. That’s what happens when all your days sort of blend together and you take a lot of naps.

Anyway, they were delivering cheeseburgers to everyone for lunch today. They made me a veggieburger, but put a slice of American cheese on the patty. I hate cheese on veggieburgers, and I detest American cheese, so I scraped it off. Added ketchup, and it tasted fine. I decided not to make a fuss about it to the kitchen staff because I campaigned really hard just to get a veggieburger on the menu in the first place, and I do a lot of handholding all the time to get appropriate meals. It’s simply a case of choosing my battles. Oddly enough, even though they also gave me some French fries and side veggies (frozen) with the veggieburger, they also gave me a big salad in a separate container. I saved that for dinner and asked the receptionist to inform the kitchen that they didn’t have to make me anything else today. When this is all over, I’d really like to sit down with the kitchen director for a meeting. *sigh*

I haven't given blood in ages. I had acupuncture a while back so I'm not sure if I can do it yet.

Raining today.
