The freeze is over..today's crap

There's a sad Tomato. All the Tomatoes outside froze. It was a hard freeze. I covered and milk jugged them all, but, they didn't make it. Everyone else lost their planted Tomatoes too, so I was afraid I couldn't get any more in this little town. They sell quickly here. I do have some backup seedlings I put in the house, but, they're so little.

I have today free, no kid. I got up late, but, I still had time to make a quick trip to the greenhouse to try and find replacement plants...but, I didn't count on the old lady. I have begged her to leave me alone on my free day, but, she insisted she needed....wait for it....cat food. I'll haul her ass to the store any day of the week, except my free day, and she knows it. I know that she knows it. Okay, the store, sure, but, quickly and I can still make it to the green house before they close. Sigh. There is no such thing as a quick trip with Tuwella. Nope.

First we stopped at a yard sale, I was in agreement, but, I told her 'quick'. It takes her forever just to get in the car, so I knew better. But, I didn't know what she'd do there. She hollered at me and asked 'Do you like this cabinet?' I said, it's okay, I guess. What do I care what she buys to put in her house. She can't buy that thing and she knows it because there is no way I can get it in my car.

She bought it. She did. She also bought some 6' shelving units and other stuff. WTF? Then she talks this old man there into hauling it for her..for free, of course. She's a pro at free. So we have to go home and wait for this old man and his old buddy to drop this crap off. We waited and waited. I offered to go get the cat food, but, no. She gave me some excuse, but, by then, I know the store trip won't be quick. I gave up and got us some sodas and we sat on the porch, waiting and waiting.

 Finally they showed up. That's one of the pieces of crap she bought. It is now sitting on her porch. You know why? Because she bought it for MY house! I kid you not. I wouldn't let them put it in my house, so there it is. I don't know why she bought this thing for me. She could have asked. But, this is what she does. Also, she's always in the way. Get out of my way, Tuwella, you can see I'm trying to take a picture. Geez Louise. She is ALWAYS standing in front of me. Always. She does it when I'm trying to carry in big load of cat food and she pretends she can't hear me saying 'Move, this stuff is heavy, MOVE, please'. All the time. It's so annoying. Same thing here and at any store. So, there she is sweeping the sad thing off with a broom.

There it is. I never would have even looked at this crappy thing. But, there it is. I don't get mad at her anymore for shit like this as long as nothing goes in my house without permission. The damn thing is really solid, it's missing two doors, and beat up to hell. But, it's solid. I may actually do something with it and do a before and after shot. It's got plate racks...I have depression ware put away. Hmm. If it wasn't solid, I'd leave it right there to rot and let her deal with it. But, I can actually play with this thing. She paid five bucks for it. For $5 dollars, I can go crazy with it. She doesn't realize it's junk, she thinks this is fine  furniture, just the way it is. Guntown decor.

By the time we got all her shit done, it was too late to go to the greenhouse. But, I'll be GD if there wasn't some Amish dude selling plants out of his truck at the gas station. I pulled in there and got a bunch of really healthy Beefsteak and Sweet 100 Tomatoes and that adorable little yellow and white striped flower. Let me go look at the tag. 'Lemon Slice Cilibarchoa'. Never heard of it. Tag says it likes full sun. Good, I have that. It's really pretty.

So, there ya go. An afternoon with Tuewella is NOT a day off. But, I'll have some maters and I am the proud owner of a piece of shit china cabinet. You're jealous, aren't you? I'm gonna go work in the yard. The Godfather of Guntown is blasting his music, but, right now he's playing Eminem. I can work with that. Uhh oh, the cops just drove by.

Oh, I almost forgot. The good news is that ALL my other plants made it. The Roses look a bit depressed, but, they'll spring back. I'm glad I wrapped and covered them all and didn't take it off until today. The freeze still wasn't over last night. I suspected it wouldn't be. Weird weather here.
