Stuff I’m sure you’re dying to know - or maybe not

Curse on you, sun.
*gasp*
Yes, I said it. All winter I’ve been longing for sunlight, hitting my face, my arms and legs, a faint breeze chasing away beads of sweat. And right now, at 10:45 in the morning it’s not a problem. In fact, it doesn’t start being a problem until 7-8 in the evening when Carlita is supposed to get sleepy and go nighty-night.
On Saturday it was a big problem as she didn’t hit the sack until 11.30 - and slept until noon Sunday. Seriously - did she skip one and a half decades? Am I dealing with a teenager here? Should I be on the lookout for boys trying to get her to run away with them in the middle of the night? Can I please have my toddler back, thankyouverymuch!
Anyway, man, dude.. Dude, man.. Am feeling utterly pooped today, to be honest. I was hoping I’d be up for some gardening today, seeing as, yes THERE IS SUN! (Curse you, except, not!) Jelly Man thought I’d better wait until there has been some rain, maybe I should listen to him. He is, after all, the one who nearly went to gardening school, not me.
Oh yes, and that reminds me of a stupid fight I had with mum (work related, want versus need, oh boy!) - but that will have to wait. I don’t want to dwell on it, so I’m thinking happy thoughts, and those happy thoughts are mostly about POWERTOOLS (I could say I fantasize about sex when I want happier thoughts, but sex is a non-issue, as in, I get as much as I need and I always ALWAYS get what I want, so there is little left to fantasize about - but, POWERTOOLS ZOMFG YES! Happy thoughts, here I come..)

Oh, and also, we’re so out of toilet paper it’s not even funny. It’s made even unfunnier by the fact that I seem to be suffering from selective IBS. Traveling or having guests always messes with my bowel, but instead of getting constipated, like normal travelers, I go to the other end of the scale and can’t keep anything in. I didn’t even know you could evacuate a meal about an hour after eating it, but my stomach has been giving it a go for the past week or so.
Great times, oh boy!
