Change may be just around the corner

I was up early finishing up the last-minute things one always has to do.
I spent the day folding and putting away laundry.
Note to self: just because you're not naked doesn't mean you should do your laundry regularly.
Boy, that was a lot of work.

Raven didn't go into work last night. 
He dropped a big bomb on us and headed up to his former partner’s house. 
I am not saying a thing here. 
I'm not even going to THINK about it for fear of jinxing things. 
Badger jumped on family messenger and sent Peacock and Heron a hint. 
I told her, no ma’am, nope, you are not going to say one bloody damn word until May. 
Nope. 
Not jinxing this. 
We're going to sneak away and forget what was said. 
This is one of those I'll believe when it happens deals.

Cowboy went out and mowed our yard and the yard at the green house.
He was grumbling about it, but the woman who lives there only asked for help last year when she was pregnant.
She could probably do it herself if Cowboy would stop doing it.

Badger did the last minute cleanups and hiding and disappeared into her room. 
Next thing I know she comes out of her room, hand held in the air, yelling she needed her triage nurse and a Band‑Aid. 
She managed to stab herself with a nasty disgusting screwdriver trying to fix the vacuum. 
It's in the webbing between thumb and forefinger, bandages don't want to stay on and it's oozed all day. 
I'm glad her tetanus is up-to-date.

The day moved on.
 Cowboy went to work, and Badger and I headed to the Creek Church.
We stayed gone for two hours. 
We sat at the creek for about an hour and a half, then moved to the picnic tables at the library.
We were sitting there when Raven drove by at 6:40 pm. 
He stopped and yelled at us.
We waved and told him we were quite happy sunning.

We got home at 7:15 pm. 
We could have stayed longer, but I didn’t want to get caught out in the dark.

Raven and the kids were in the yard when we came in.
He put them to bed at 8:30 pm. 
Tomorrow is going to be an early start, I can already tell.

While we were at the creek, two teen boys came and put on waders and hopped in the water.
I’d almost swear they were frogging.
There's a dead possum up the creek from where they were that has to be leaching ick into the creek.
I don’t know if it still applies anymore, and I might be remembering it wrong, but I feel like there used to be a sign a ways up saying the school’s wastewater emptied into the creek.
You wouldn’t catch me in that water.

Somewhere around 9 pm, Raven comes in my room wanting to do laundry. 
He’s had all week to do his laundry. 
If he hadn’t left so early today, he could have done it then. 
He always waits until late on Friday to want his laundry done. 
We don’t like him going into the laundry room. 
We don’t want our cats to get loose. 
So Badger went in and put his laundry on for him.

I’m on a tablet and I’ll clean up when I can.
Badger and I have spent the evening in my room watching our “X-Files.”
She's not feeling well and is going to spend the night on a pallet on my floor.
That'll be better for her anyway, as she won’t be woken up at the crack of dawn with the kids kicking her wall.
She and Raven share a wall.
