Day 4,325: She Turned
It’s. Really. Hot. Hundred today. I think. Maybe 99. But ya. Tooooo hot. That sweltering season of summer has arrived finally. Right on time, really, but it was just so damn mild before. We usually have a solid couple months of high 80s/low 90s, but not this year. We...
Day 4,324: Daichan
Took it easy today. Hard to do, given it’s a weekend, meaning no work during the day, and I have so much stuff to do, but…I needed it. Took a giant nap. Slept in a bit. Watched the Wrexham game. Watched quali. And then we went out to dinner with our friends Gary and...
Day 4,323: No Vikings
Wiiiiiped. Wiped, man. Got up early and cleared the excess gravel from the driveway. Then worked all day. I was planning to do more work this evening and tomorrow morning but I’m too knackered. Proper day off tomorrow, I think. Regroup. Re-jigger the to-do list and...
Day 4,322: Wind
Late. We podcasted tonight, so it’s already bed time…but it was a successful, if not hectic, day. Got the gravel compacted. Need to shovel and remove the excess from the driveway, but it’s done. Next is demolition of the rest of the yard. Need to hire that out. It...
Day 4,321: Klosp
Busy day. I took out our massive bougainvillea. I thought it was going to be harder, actually, but I was able to make decently quick work of it with a pruning saw and a pickaxe. Tomorrow, I finish the parking space. Can’t wait. We pick up the compactor nice and early....
Day 4,320: Pea Gravel
Our driveway is full tonight of pea gravel. I have to rent a vibrating compactor first, but it’s all going into the parking space frame I made. And then the parking space will be done. Lovely stuff, pea gravel. I like it so much more than 3/4 stuff. I feels good...
Day 4,319: Sun
What’s my favorite time of day? From 10am to noon. If I’m watching sports during that time, HEAVEN. Oh, I love it so much. Beyond that, just the time block itself is always my favorite, even when I’m working. That’s the time where all the business of the pre-morning...
Day 4,318: Dodge
Didn’t do any work today, really. I spent it with Liz for the most part, which we haven’t done in a little while. That was really, really nice. Like, I wanted to finish Richard III. I’d read up to Act Five, but I hadn’t the time to actually finish it. So, I wanted to...
Day 4,317: Stinky Broder
Tell about the last thing I got really excited about. This is an easy one: my birthday! I’m doing a little backyard movie night. It’s gonna be grand. I loooooooove doing backyard movie nights. We just haven’t done a ton of them lately because our front and backyards...
Day 4,316: Mermaid
A late Friday, as per usual. We watched Ponyo tonight, which I’d seen before when it first came out. I liked it more this second time around, which isn’t to say I didn’t like it the first time around. I did. I just remember feeling…underwhelmed by it? This time, I...
