A Murphy’s law sort of day

 

     Have you ever had one of those Murphy’s Law days?  You know what I mean, one of those days where everything that can possibly go wrong does.  That was my day today from the beginning.

     Knowing that today was going to be sunny and warm I wanted to get up earlier than usual so I could enjoy it.  That didn’t happen I slept in later than normal.  I forgot to set my alarm. 

     I wanted to see snow free gardens.  I did, but then I also saw how much clean up work I have ahead of me.  I wanted to take the dogs for a walk but a stray pit bull decided to hang around the neighborhood all afternoon.  Patty does not like pits.  Gavin will ignore leashed dogs on a walk but he is hostile to dogs on the loose.  No walk.

     I thought I’d grill our dinner.  I took my time cleaning the grill and making it sparkle.  Did you know you can’t cook on a gas grill without the gas?  Yep, the tank was empty.  Out came the frying pan. 

     There wasn’t much on TV tonight but DH did find that Castle was going to be on at ten.  We’d stopped watching the show and figured that we probably had missed the episode.  Nope, they’d repeated that one twice already and we’d seen it both times.  At least DH kept quiet while I worked on my books.

     Tonight I set my alarm clock.  Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be nice again.

  1. Tomorrow will be perfect for that Garden Work! With the unusual hard freezes this winter we lost about 1/3 of our garden (the previous owners planted tropicals). Clean-up was about 6 days and now we’re begining to replant. The summer annuals went in today. Our Garden Center has a corkscrew hazel which I’m dying to get but don’t know if it will tolerate our summer heat (20+days/year over 100f) – any ideas Garden Guru? I’d ask the dogs but they’d just say steak, steak, steak…

    Your dogs sound exactly like mine! I’d love to plant some corkscrew hazel too but I was told they take a lot of space. Maybe if you planted it in a protected area it will survive the summer heat.

  2. My family has a corollary to Murphy’s Law.

    It says: Murphy was a ****ing optimist!

    HEHEHE!
