Aww, yeah, sara. In solidarity I gotta say that Lisas apparently rock it.

Ceiling painting sucks. Is now a good time to retell the story about how we were rushing to get the painting finished over Christmas because the tile team was about to come in? And so we were hurrying and not careful and D. got paint in his eye really badly. So the next day, Christmas day, we had to run around the completely closed town to find something for it and he ended up getting an eyepatch to hold it closed.

So he's there in his bandana and eye patch and ratty clothes on Christmas and he stops and says, "You know, I was dressed like this on another holiday...I can't remember which one. Sometime in the fall, I think."

Hee.

So. My little league team got swept in a doubleheader today.

We are now 1-7.

It's kind of dismal.

One player on their team hit three homeruns against us over the two games. Two of the homeruns were three-run shots, that broke the games open.

But the main reason we suck is because our defense sucks. Most of the runs today were unearned. As much as that's our focus in practices, my guys continue to turn routine plays into not-outs.

I am discouraged.

Or maybe it just means it's really small...

I figure that would go without saying.

Go, Sara!! Let me just say, grocery shopping can go by the wayside this week. I mean, really.

Heh. I wish I'd gotten the paint that goes on pink or purple and changes to white. I meant to, but this is what happens when you go to Home Despot the day you closed. That would so help. Instead I am just being really methodical.

I have to eat! Remember, takeout requires more mental space for me than most. Too many choices. I can't handle anything more complex than "frozen lasagna or salad" these days....

Plus, I am about to run out of catfood. And dishsoap. First is more critical.

eta: sorry about the games, David.

OK, OK. You do what you've gotta do.

Happy Birthday, Beth!

I was very efficient and got stuff done today, but now I am supposed to be vacuuming and putting dishes away, and instead I am not doing anything, and then maybe watching movies.

Aw sara, I wish I could send DH to help you with the painting. He rocks ceilings with ease.

I got a lot of garden-related stuff done, as well as picking up dry-cleaning and getting a pedicure. None of which gets my freelance job done, so I guess I'll be doing that tomorrow. It was just too pretty to spend all day working on the computer.

He rocks ceilings with ease.

Ha. Because he's closer to them?

I got a little bit of garden stuff done, too. Ooh. That reminds me, I'd better go turn off the water barrel.

Oh! Oh! I didn't tell you guys yet. My water is back clean! Yayay!

Turns out there was a leak in one of the wells which let the contamination leach in. So they emptied it and fixed it and cleaned it out and flushed it while the other two wells kept giving us water. They flushed all the lines (that was exciting and made us want to plant grass seed in our neighbor's yard which had the water just running out in it) and retested, and everything's clear now.

Whew.

It took a week. We flushed out all our lines, too, and ran a bunch of hot water to clear the hot water heater. Wish we had the tankless. But now I think we're good, and I'm totally taking a shower as soon as the Blackhawks game is over.
