Bah! I am beaten. *hangs head in shame* I bought a new, more expensive, tougher screen door for the deck’s sliding glass door and I still can’t get the @#!%** thing to work. It not only refused to comply with my wishes and coaxing, it beat me up in the process. I have numerous scratches, it bent two fingernails back below the skin and broke one of them drawing first blood. It’s propped up against the door for the time being. I need a break from it.

Then, I tried to lighten my mood by transplanting my new starts. I filled three troughs with herbs and sowed a smaller clay pot with chervil seeds. We’ll see how things grow. The poor babies are stuck out in the middle of the back yard for now until the deck is built. What a mess this place is. It’s driving me nuts because I need to wait upon others before I can put my house and yard back in order. Gah. It started out as such a great day surprising Dustin at lunch for his birthday, seeing his family and Zach, then going out to Sweet Life for gelato. Why did I think I should tackle that screen door? *shakes head* Well, I’ve showered for the second time today and now I’ll put my nice clothes back on in preparation for International Night at the university. Maybe that will lighten my mood.
