10/June/2015, Day 161. Wednesday.
Sometimes the weirdest things set Grump off.
It was a hot, but otherwise nice day here in central Georgia. Work at Grump's job wasn't too bad, the kids mostly behaved, and Sweetie was able to do some yard work. But it was this yard work that got Grump all upset.
Sometime midway through the morning Sweetie called Grump, and asked him if she could transplant the dahlias growing near the mailbox because, well ...... truth be told, they just aren't doing too well there. Grump went ballistic! He got so darn grump that he and Sweetie got in a bad argument, and bad feelings continued until Grump got home.
Why was Grump so angry? He was afraid that Sweetie would throw away the amaryllis seeds that one of the amaryllis had produced, and that was next to the dahlias. Grump has been hypersensitive about his plants ever since Lola accidentally pulled up the passion flower vine he had been trying to grow on the back porch. Never mind that Grump only spends about 15 minutes MAX per week working in the yard, (his fat body and the Georgia heat don't mix well), while Sweetie and Lola spend an average of 4 - 5 hours per week gardening, (in addition to cleaning, cooking, and watching Dodong). Those are HIS PLANTS, darn it, and even if they're half dead and coated with weeds, DON'T YOU DARE PULL THEM!!
Let's leave Grump to his misery, and move on to better things. Sweetie did a lot of ironing today, (hooray Sweetie!), and cooked a delicious pan-fried tilapia dinner, with steamed cabbage for a vegetable. After dinner we drove over to the new Smallcakes cupcake store near Publix on Bass Rd., and we all got a cupcake. Yum, yum!
Goodnight all!
