Self-Aggrandizement

 I was buzzing with a pleasant sense of accomplishment, since I got all my things to do checked off my list this weekend - except a horse ride! Just more proof that you can’t have it all…

Friday night: dinner with mijo, had to deliver Mila’s dinner (I store her bunnies in my big chest freezer), looped back home to complete one more task in the form of a house call for a neighbor.

Saturday: coaxed Mom into a shower at long last (ugh! Cannot dwell on that, it had been a month), rescued my friend whose Jeep was out of order to take her to run a couple of errands, buzzed into town to meet Zach at the aquarium expo (a slightly belated graduation gift was a desktop aquarium for him), dropped back down into Red Oak to show up at a friend’s pool party where I shouldn’t have indulged in that margarita! Between that and the party food, it gave me indigestion and a poor night’s sleep.

Sunday: drag-assed around Sunday morning, recuperating - but made it over for lunch with mom, got her laundry stored away (I’d also managed to get her bedsheets changed Saturday). I had hoped for a late lunch with mijo (we were scheduled to pick up his aquarium at the end of the expo Sunday afternoon), but obviously that was expecting too much - he had other plans. “A son’s a son till he takes a wife”, etc. Zach seems to have inserted himself into Victoria‘s family which is perfectly understandable. So I dawdled around Las Colinas - dropped off Z’s blue heron print for framing (it’s gorgeous if I do say so myself, another graduation gift), browsed the used bookstore, bought some minnows for Aphrodite at the pet store! (“What are you feeding?” - “You wouldn’t believe me if I told ya!”) Then buzzed back over to the expo at Market Hall to pick up Z’s aquarium.

Now I’ve got to get moving for another busy work week - I have a potential buyer that’s trying to low ball  me on the mobile unit - that reminds me to fire off another email. I’m not gonna give it away although it’s possible I may have been taken advantage myself of by a slick operator when I bought it? Live & learn,  I guess; I realize it would’ve cost us something in “rent”, so to speak to work out of any space.
