 Due ot mowers being broken I hadn't mowed in a while. The other day, I got the riding mower back and got the tall weeds behind the west wide trailers mowed down.  Needs a second pass on a lower deck level setting, but it's good.

My next thing was to go ahead and hand mow all the lots after getting the push mower working.  But, I was going to wait until I feel even a little better to do so.  Well, the friend that is a bartender at a local restaurant overhead the 3 that came in as a group some 5 or 6 months ago talking about moving out of my park because of the grass and weeds not being cut.  

They have a point but they have no information why it got like that. Doesn't matter, really, people don't care about the reasons, they will just move on and not even say why they are moving on when they get disgruntled.  So I forced my sick @$$ out of bed and went over there and mowed 5 lots and pulled weeds on 2 of them.  It may or may not make them happy, who knows, but I have got to at least try to appease them. Losing them would be losing 3 lots worth of rent and I just can't afford that right now.  

I'm going to go buy a battery operated weed eater that I can't afford to do the edging, probably tomorrow. Right now, I'm absolute toast.  It's hot out there, I was feeling hellish when I left to go over there, probably being out in the heat and sun actually helps, but right now? No thank you. 

I will get the grass around the pedestals out and pull more weeds tomorrow and then just make it a point to make sure I get to them once a week or so.  Not that it needs once a week, there has been no rain and nothing is growing really - except the weeds. It's like they don't care about water.  They aren't growing fast but it does look pretty unpresentable when they get 6 to 8 inches high.  Well, they were 4 to 6 inches high, just saying they start popping up they start looking ugly.

I dunno, but I'll get every last week off of their gravel areas - I got most of it today anyway - and around the pedestal - mower won't do it around those - and call it good.  It's 20 days before they would move out, they are paid up through the beginning of September.  Maybe I should get a pallet of sod to make them happier.  Another chunk of change I can't afford.  

Dunno.  Anyway, that's it.  I'm going back to bed.  

 I kept that kid away from me. He was/is sick and I didn't want it. But he was still going around coughing without his mouth covered all over the place and I finally ended getting.  Whatever "it" is, it's hellish.  My lungs feel like a layer of asphalt have been added to them. My head is aching, sneezing, body aches galore. 

So, yesterday I just stayed in bed and today will be the same. I only forced myself out to drink a cuppa, I've been in bed 12 plus hours.  Well, okay, I went to the park quick yesterday to collect money from weekly stay.  They were 2 days behind in paying up - that was my bad, getting distracted with the dog - and I wanted to collect my money before they leave. They ended up paying for another week. 

I have 2 payments to collect today, but both of them should be able to be done without having to go over there. 

Other than that, I don't really have much to say today. Pretty much feeling miserable and going back to bed.  

 Monday - early afternoon I am just plain tired. I think it's all the rain.  The alarm went off this morning and I just wanted to shut i...
