Few nights ago, I found I had missed my daughter's last choir performance. It was my own fault. The ex had texted me about it a month before the performance. Somehow, the message got misplaced, both in my head and in my phone. I asked my daughter about her last performance the weekend before and she didn't know when it was. Plus my phone was acting up.
Most of all, my crappy memory, which is legendary. Anyone who has ever known me knows how bad my memory has been my whole life.
When I found out, I almost cried. I apologized sincerely to my daughter this weekend.
The ex made a copy of her recording of the performance on disk. The audio was good. The video was choppy, like a late 90's digital recording. Nothing I can do to improve it. I transferred it to the hard drive and it made little difference.
Daughter said she will be in choir again next year. I'll have to keep things more organized next year. There is really nothing I would put ahead of seeing her perform, save emergency surgery or something like that.
Daughter didn't feel so good this weekend. Summer cold or something like that. Offered many times to go out and do something but she didn't feel like it.
This does become a concern for me. She isn't being very active. She used to love to take walks with me or do things like go to the zoo. Lately, she just wants to stay home.
I have tried taking daughter shopping for clothes a few times. She never wants to go clothes shopping with me. So, I wrote a check for a little extra money to the ex for clothes for daughter. I understand. Daughter is a girl, mother is a girl and I have made a few bad choices in the clothing department in the past. Guess I've always been fairly fashion challenged. It wasn't a lot of money but I'll try to give more now and then.
I got out and sprayed weeds to day. After all the rain they started coming up in droves. Made some heavy wire hangers, wrapped them with fly paper and hung the hummingbird feeders outside. Close to the house this year. One on the tree and two right on the outer edge of the solarium.
I picked up more lumber for the rest of the fence. Hopefully enough slats to complete it.
The dog did not get a walk today. He is ever increasingly whiny. The more attention he gets, the more attention he wants. So maybe it's better if I back off until he calms down.
