Why Can't I Fly?

I wish I could fly. I need some spackle stuff and don't want to walk all the way to the home improvement store and I don't know when Brother will be coming over to pick up Father's old dresser. I guess that's going to the birth parents of the infant nephew because they are poor and have nothing to put clothes in.

I stayed in bed a bit later than I planned but my back ached. I realize it's because I had to move one of the big glass doors yesterday. Anyway, today wasn't completely wasted. I brought up the bins, mowed the lawn, put out the last of the grass seed and sprayed for evil weeds. I also changed the cat box. I need to give the fish some fresher water soon.

Kitty has been a bit dejected, not sure what's up. Maybe it's all the construction... err destruction... noise that has her unsettled. Poor thing! I must remember to give her more petting tonight. Right now she's on Mother's bed. Still waiting for her to return I guess. :/ I'm having a chocolate milk thing as a change. Not been enjoying my meal choices today. I had a chicken and fried rice bowl, cereal and two hot dogs. I was out of buns and didn't realize it so I used slices of wheat bread. It was sufficient. I hated opening the block of cheese. Mother wasn't here to share. In fact there are still some ghosts in the kitchen: food products that are Mother's. It unsettled me so I'm in here blogging for a bit.

I was thinking of going out tonight to the home improvement place and maybe bring back a few grocery items but I'm not sure what I'd get that I can reasonably carry. Much laziness! Better to go during daylight. Also this week is "spring break" for most government schools which dampens my enthusiasm for a night walk. I should do laundry. Maybe I will if I don't turn in early. So long as I can distract myself with tasks I'm doing OK mentally. It's when I get idle or when I see reminders like food for Mother that my mood depresses. Not sure what I'll do with myself tomorrow other than going to get spackle stuff so I can fix walls where the paneling was. Nothing heard from the insurance investigator. I hope no news is good news.
