Cinco de Mayo. Cool and overcast.

Got the kids up and to school. Went to the market. Bought groceries. Just basic stuff. Came back home. Put groceries away.

Bought some broccoli and red potatoes. And some small pork chops. And some apples. And bananas. Get the mice to eat some vegetables at some point.

It's chilly.

Some rain earlier. Can't spray paint the blower covers. Bought some rattle-can off-white paint at Home Depot before the market trip. They're a depressing dirty-Bandaid color. Also bought some cut-to-size filter material for the blower.

I have some bedding plants and flowers to plant. Planted a few of them out in front yesterday. Find homes for the rest of them. I'd like to clean out the front beds, they're badly overgrown and shaggy-looking.

I need to wash the car.

Washed the red sheets. Put those back on the beds.

Dragged the kids to Petco yesterday and bought some more small fish. One isn't doing well. The other ones seem happy enough. I'd like to get the rest of the neon and glo-light tetras out of the large tank and put them in the small tank. The small tank needs attention.

What else? Not much. Surprised by how cool it is this morning.
