Today is 'meh'...

jennlkprobably a result of a couple of days of doing things that make my back unhappy -- blood drive on Tuesday, dental hygienist on Wednesday. Last night it stormed, hard, and the temperature/humidity/pressure change probably didn't help things much. Today I went erranding, the long way 'round, because it's move-in week in AA, and if I can avoid AA for the next couple of weeks it'll be grand. Usually, I go to Brighton, but US23 is in a state of disarray and I am avoiding that area as much as possible. But there's gotta be a back way into Brighton, so I went looking, and did find a no-expressway route. So that's where I went today. oddly tired after that.
have somehow managed to misplace my CostCo card. I had it early last week, but couldn't find it today. It wasn't in the pocket of the rain jacket or the trousers I wore, nor in the wallet where it should be, not in any of the bags that I used. It will turn up. And if it doesn't? I can just get a new one - the old one is a probably a decade old....
Last night's storms were pretty fierce, and took out a number of branches and small tree trunks. One of the less-happy lilacs lost two of its older trunks in the storm -- just as well, as it really needs to be trimmed/thinned, which is something that I can't do and J doesn't do because there's more interesting things to do. We also lost about a third of a fruit tree, and a lower branch off of a 30 year old oak tree. (Mum found it in the raspberry patch at their house shortly after we moved out here, and after letting it grow for a couple of years, she and Dad brought it out here for us to plant.)
While I was wandering the yard this morning, assessing damage, I realised that nobody's weeded around the small white lilac in the front yard this summer. Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow! (The E garden needs to be done as well, but I have worked on it a couple of times this summer, so it's not quite as desperate.)
