Soberpotomus.... by all means layer xown the newspaper. If it's going to be permanent and deep. Sure. I only use plastic for top cover around veggie plants for the season. Actually first time I'm using plastic. Thinking of manhours saved pulling weeds. Not going to cover plastic with anything. It lookks nust beautiful as it is.

At the dentist. Ugh. Got some pots planted. Dropped little Miss at my parents. Dad was napping. At 11 a.m. I'm worried about him and my mother who is carrying on but isn't happy. It's the pneumonia with Dad. It lingers apparently and as his health isn't the best, it's knocking him out.
Time to go inside. Talk to you all later. Learningagain, you and I will do yard work this weekend. Mine is so scraggly it's embarrassing.

I think my plants drowned, at least a lot of them. The drainage is poor and we had so much rain 
I will just try and save the remaining ones. We only moved here last Sept, so a bit of trial and error on what would work in the little flower bed - we are in a condo, so they look after the front garden, just my back one to tend to!

Bear up Mesa, don't let the ba****ds grind you down.
There is a really good article in the Guardian today headed 'Why is nicotine so addictive?' by Marc Lewis. It is not just about nicotine ut about the chemistry of desire
The link doesn't seem to want to load from my phone - I'll try fro my desktop when I get home but if in the meantime anyone can find it and post it well it is really interesting
Let me Google "the guardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/24/why-is-nicotine-so-addictive?" for you

About to go pick up my son from his fishing camp. He has been with his dad since Friday, so I am looking forward to hearing about how his camp is going! Who knows, maybe his dad even put a check in his bag to cover his half - yeah right!!!
Not sure what we will do tonight, I want to go to the pool, but depends how tired he is, especially as he was at the pool with his siblings last night, plus his first day back it is often hard to get him to leave! I think his cat knows he is coming (I swear she knows he is gone usually a max of 5 days) cos she is being super annoying right now!

The gal who takes the money at the end sent me home with a little goodie bag with two juice cartons, a snack-pack of peanut butter crackers and a granola bar. I scarfed it down and I'm sitting here at home trying to recover.
The dentist freaks me out - seriously, I get hit with fight-or-flight really bad. Adrenaline pumping for the whole time I'm there. Two hours is one hour too long.

If I get up in time and sort a few things out I'm going flounder fishing tomorrow. Step 1: Ask wife IF I can go. I already know I can but asking for permission and getting a resounding absolutely is a bonus.
Checked my rod and reel. Have plenty of flounder rigs and everything I need except GULP. I was hoping to go for sea bass (tasty little guys). But this is strictly a fluke trip. Party boat in a different sense of the word. Last time I went on a boat one guy complained later because I drank all of his beer after I finished all of mine. Funny how that happens.
Tomorrow - just me taking the drive to Jersey and getting on a boat. The captain likes to pull out early if he has enough people to prevent the boat from getting crowded - excellent plan. Weather should be nice and I heard they had a good day today. Five flounder equals four filets each. Equals five meals. I need a doormat(2 meals) to win the pool so I get my money back. Up at 4 for the 2 hour drive to NJ shore. I deserve a day of pleasure! I have ice tea in bottles and should check for v-water. A couple sammies and I'm golden. SPF 50!
Early night for me.

Ewww I hate the dentist too!
We are off to the local pool in a bit (after the starving small one finishing inhaling his early dinner!). He is full of himself and his camp - has not stopped talking about all his knowledge (that is how he refers to it!). They are off on a field trip tomorrow, so he is super excited. I need to take him swimming before my ears start bleeding from fishing tales!

Actually, I did not like Napoleon Dynamite.
So insert any movie you dislike. Two hours of torture is what I'm sayin.
I'm over it. It happens once a year (if nothing goes wrong in between.) This time it was full mouth XRays, exam, and deep cleaning - with a new hygienist. I wanted to swing through and get beer on the way home - like the old days but I told myself to get over that thought right then. I just had a root canal! I should be good for a while, right?
Okay, I'm done. I've eaten, I'm going to go take a much needed walk - in the rain.

Dentist yuck....but I love getting my teeth cleaned!
Hope you catch at least five fish tomorrow, Brain. Sounds like a nice day.
Ate lunch at The Chocolate Angel with a neighbor.....Art, have you been before? Anyway, had grilled pimento cheese with candied jalapeņo on sourdough. Very tasty. But the best part.....desert. Puff pastry with fresh whipped cream and strawberries! Amazing! Now that I'm not working I get to join the ranks of ladies who lunch. I could get used to this!
