Mowing Kharma

Hmm, what to talk about today? My knee is doing better thanks to the magic of the hot tub. Last night as I was maxing and relaxing I thought, wow I am glad I have this thing, otherwise I would be hobbling around. For some reason our flowers have bloomed out back. Now we have pink petals floating in the pool. I wonder what it would cost to go fake with the flowers? That would be easier to manage. Of course, I don't deal with the outside plummage. My allergies would get to me. So instead I have a service that cuts my yard and trims the bushes. I am glad of this cause I would not do it.

I always hated mowing the yard anyways. As a teenager it was my job to mow our yard. I now remember sneezing and itching as I did it. Why could I not put 2 and 2 together back then? Now my evil stepdad was a stickler about every week having me mow the yard. Of course he was off his rocker and would go to bed sometimes a 8PM and wake up at midnight and start drinking. During which time if I was still up he would come out in the living room and say "work day". So naturally to appease him I started to mow the lawn at midnight.

I can just imagine the neighbors waking up from their slumber, looking at the clock and hearing a lawn mower in the background. They would be like "whaa?" My mom of course would wake up and come screaming out the door. What are you doing? Robbie said mow, so I am mowing. Stop that this instance. And so that was the end of that. I often let them fight it out as I learned very early to not fight him and just humour him. What a weird youth I did have. Now the only thing that happens at midnight is you can see me relaxing in the hot tub. I think there is a kind of karma in life, where those who go through bad things will eventually go through good things to even things out. I am glad I am now on the good side of things. Life is good.
