Each morning, I wake up and tell myself, "You're going to write a post today." Yet, the muses continue to ignore me. Damn you, witches!
Thankfully, Levi at LitKicks has struck a match under my laptop by tagging me with the 8 Things meme. Which I've already done. Looking over Levi's post, though, he was also tagged twice and turned it into a 5 + 3 Things meme. Inspired by his rule-breaking moxie, I'm going to change it again by adding three random facts specific to today and not tagging anyone.
3 Things Today No Tag
- For the last couple of weeks, I haven't been able to get a solid night's sleep. Last night, I went to bed around 11 p.m., woke up at 3 a.m., watched really bad television until 5 a.m., fell back asleep, and finally got out of bed at 7 a.m. I wish the restlessness would go away because it's starting to wear me out.
- After morning coffee, I spent two hours weeding the lawn. I got rid of the scary dandelions long ago, but now I'm being tortured by crabgrass. Since I enjoy puttering around the garden on gorgeous days like today, I don't mind pulling it out by hand. However, it hasn't stopped my overactive imagination from wondering how I'd react if the crabgrass suddenly grew claws and snapped at me. So far, none of the scenarios running through my head have ended with me being triumphant.
- A neighbor trimmed his hedges today, and many branches have fallen on my side of the fence. Despite our past conversations about cleaning up his debris, he still hasn't taken care of it. If he doesn't come over here by end of the day, I am going to gather everything up and toss it back over the fence into his yard.
