six weeks to the day

"What's been six weeks? Oh, I bet I know! Today is Wednesday, isn't it? So you're gonna jibber jabber about laundry, aren't you?"

Yeppers! I've been meaning to go for two weeks, but something always came up.

"I know what it was last week: movies with someone else's grandkids!"

Correction: that's 'movie', singular, with Ivan and Peyton. They both went to the Bacon Park pool afterward. I went to another movie that night, but with Carolyn. 

"La di dah. I stand corrected. No movie with them today?"

Yesterday, Laura took him to Tampa to be with his two uncles. That was kinda sorta a last minute decision. While Peyton and I went to "Sonic 3" for the NCG Summer Camp Film Festival, those two left and we didn't know a thing about it until we were back at the house. Wild!

"Wow! That's just crazy!"

Here's what makes it even crazier: tomorrow is the seventh anniversary of Tony and Laura's wedding! I do hope she is planning to be back this afternoon. Maybe me and the girl child will return from our movie and find that has happened.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You and Peyton are going to see "Sonic 3" again?"

Nope. That would be silliness. We're going to "M3GAN 2.0" at AMC. I'm having to rush right now because the washer I used stopped early in the cycle and had to be restarted. When Bridget, the attendant at SUDS, did that, she gave me a longer cycle, with warm water, and that tripped me up on my timing. I had started the wash at 11:45, which meant I should be done and back home by 1 PM, easily. The longer wash cycle that Bridget gifted me, coupled with the delay before I realized the washer had stopped that first time, has added another thirty minutes to my time there.

"Yikes! What time is the movie?"

On paper, it starts at 1:45. That means it really begins at 2:10, so that gives me a little breathing space. Still, I need to pick her up and I just got home.

"Well, don't let me hold you up. Move along!"

I'm moving, I am, but I want to show how my front yard. Doesn't it look so nice and neat? I've been working my Ryobi almost every day, either late in the evening or around 10 AM. Plus, the heat finally dried out the spiderwort, so I've pulled it up for the year. I have some new clumps out by the curb, not including Mama's liriope. The new clumps are wild lantana. That's from Asia, by the way, and isn't native to this area at all. I found that out a couple of weeks ago.

"Yes, dear. Now, tick tock, tick tock!"

Oops! Gotta go!!!
