i'm just feeling really down and blah today. not anything specific. i think it might be hormonal but i'm not in a good headspace.  i have calls coming up too and i don't really feel up to it. i can't put them off though.

We watch Animal Control too. i need goofy shows in my life.  I also want to watch Ghosts. it looks fun and silly.

I haven't been watching too much TV lately. mostly because i no longer have a TV in my bedroom. we've been rewatching Dawson's Creek of all things. I watched it when it was first on but not since and my husband wanted to watch it. i'm enjoying the rewatch more than i thought i would. it holds up better than i remember. the dialogue can be a bit much sometimes but i still like it so far.

yeah a lot of the dramas are really heavy these days. especially the "prestige" TV stuff. i don't follow much anymore since we no longer have Netflix or HBO/Max. i listen to podcasts about politics so i know everything sucks. i need my TV shows to be escapist.

i like to rewatch stuff too. i like to watch stuff when i know there won't be any surprises that make me sad

ugh i'm not in a very good headspace today. too many calls coming up. i think i need to take some time off but i can't because i have to save that time for when family stuff comes up.

my neighbors put a couch out on the curb. it's not my personal style but it looks to be in fairly new/good condition. i'm thinking they assumed someone would take it but it's still there. i don't really care except that it rained a lot today and yesterday so now a perfectly good couch is probably ruined. it's easy to call a charity to just pick it up. that's what we did with ours.

i like flocking as long as it's in decent shape and clean. i wouldn't add flocking to a NSS pony though.

lol Artie it happens to the best of us. sounds like he saved quite a bit of money Seinfeld is a go to for me when i'm feeling blah. I also like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

today is eclipse day. we'll see if the weather cooperates.

@Taffeta we do get flooding here. we get more droughts here but we can also get heavy rain too. the rain tends to come all at once. i do worry about drainage with DIY projects. i know that was a big reason I read that astroturf grass (which some people have ) can cause drainage issues. i'm not interested in that at all. it also looks weird when the "grass" is bright green while everyone else's is brown.

i mainly want to get rid of grass because it didn't grow in well to begin with since it was put in right before we went into a drought. it's a lot like what you described, BC. mostly thin and prickly with lots of weeds. there are a lot of areas where the grass didn't take at all. the side yards get muddy when it rains and we track in a lot of dirt. i would like to create a shade garden with a bench. it might be our backyard project for next spring. changes will be slow because we're doing it ourselves
