kittydesadeIt turned out to be a relatively uneventful, restful day. With writing! And cross-stitch! And cleaning! Not as much of either of the latter two as I'd like but progress was made, and progress will be made tomorrow.
There was one thing that happened that was ... unnerving. Is that a guy was out front sitting on the edge of the lawn in front of our house, three or four feet from the sidewalk. Which, yes, I expect people to stop and sit at the edge of the lawn because there's a nice lip to the concrete barrier? Retaining wall? thing that's good for sitting on, but this guy was up on our lawn. It turned out he knew our across the street neighbors and, what, had been casing our house? Their house? Or just waiting to get up the courage to go talk to some people he apparently hadn't talked to in a long time, by the sound of their conversation and what the across the street fella said. (He's actually the son of the woman who lives there, but since shutdown started it's been a family party over there almost every day. I just hope they're in a family bubble, too.)
So, yeah. I made sure all the doors were locked and I am sleeping with both a boy and my knife just in case, but I don't think that will come back to bite me in the ass? Less because I trust the guy and more because he seemed like the kind of guy who would back down if I came at him with a cast iron fire poker.
Hopefully the boy got some sleep, too. He hasn't been sleeping well lately. But I got a satisfactory amount of work done with only one stressor that hopefully will stay the fuck gone now, so. Not a bad day, all in all.
1.File nails, come on, self
2. Finish leaves on cross stitch, start letters.
3. Rearrange the oven-side cabinet
4. More of the dishes on the far side of the main kitchen sink
5. Pick up office floor
6.Finish one yoga pants worth of hem.
7. Find a way to move the lettuces outside (bring out a shelf?)
8. Harvest radishes
9. Clean up bed in guest room
10. do sheets from bed in guest room, set 1, set 2
