Had a magnificent dinner tonight to celebrate Liz and her birthday with some of the people whom she loves the most. It was at the french cafe/bakery we went to a couple days ago for breakfast. Loved it. Great food. Great wine. The best company. Really really really special.
I really got down and dirty, finally, on the front yard parking spot project. I got some significant digging done. A ten-foot by twenty-foot rectangle. Gotta go down four inches, then fill that with gravel, compact it, and boom: parking spot. One that won’t disintegrate after parking on it for a couple years. All I got done was a shovel width around the perimeter, but it doesn’t matter. It’s started. It’s underway. That’s all I need. Also: turns out we have an entire irrigation system in the front yard! The previous owners just covered it up. Whole-ass sprinkler heads, just buried. WTF, right? So much about this house before we got here is head-scratching. But, little by little, we’re fixing it.
Turned in my time card for last week. Got us set back up with our spending tracking sheets over by the kitchen counter. Then…it was digging—I think I legit did that for three hours today, wow—taking care of the pups, and going to dinner.
I’m WIPED. Night night.
