Day 4,328: Abbot
Workin hard out there! Literally. Getting up early and getting outside to continue getting our front and back yards in presentable shape. They’re close! We’re hiring a company next to haul all the stuff away. She expeeeeennnnsssiiivvvee…but it needs to be done. Has to...
Day 4,327: Thunder
What does my ideal home look like? “Home.” That’s the word. As I sit here with Joy snuggled up into my shoulder, Liz outside in the living room watching the Love is Blind UK reunion, Coops down by my feet…this is my ideal home. Honestly. When I first saw the question,...
Day 4,326: Step
It was a very productive day today. I did several things I’d been putting off and/or I knew was going to take it out of me energy-wise. We had some credit cards we no longer were using that I needed to call and finally cancel before their annual fees ticked over...
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...
