susandennisMy Mom said that on the day your overnight guests arrive, you put out bananas on the counter. When they start to rot, it's way past time for your guests to leave. This is the most lovely passive aggressive messaging I know of.
Yesterday, I got a text from my nephew (who arrives on the 18th) that it was nearly time to go buy the bananas.
His grandmother would be so proud.
I woke up this morning to rain on my windows which never happens. It must have rained sideways. It kind of cleaned my windows a bit. They come and do the job professionally in July but I missed last July because they couldn't get the windows open because my blinds were installed wrong. But, they are cleaner this morning than they have been in a while!
The rain draws the birds to the terrace railing much to the delight of Biggie and Julio. When I left for my swim this morning, they were glued to the door glass watching the birds. When I got back 45 minutes later, the rain had stopped, the birds were gone, but Biggie and Julio had not moved.
Today Christian has a meeting here at 1 pm and he's going to bring my shoes (and, more importantly the lowdown on the Anthony situation, I hope). Also today is house cleaning day.
Also the Mariner game starts at 3:30.
Buzy buzy. Better get dressed.
