Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm about to finish watching Friday Night Lights. Sniff.

Yikes, Gar. That sounds terrible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds hard to shake, TB. Kinda cool that your subconscious is all about keeping going like that, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching the Belmont.

Fight the power, TB!

Have killed many vines and maple seedlings. As I'm working, I'm contemplating how many pounds of carbon my backyard sequesters in a year.

I only wear hose or tights for warmth or effect. Otherwise, forget it.

Got out of the showers at the Y 90 minutes ago and I already need another shower. BUT! I've patched the wobbly front step as best I could manage, we'll see if it is no longer in danger of falling off once the cement patch dries. It's not the ideal fix, but I just need it to hold together another year or two until I decide what To Do With The Steps. And then I 'fixed' the bird feeder- the bottom inch was pointless, birds could never get the seed in there. So I filled the bottom deadspace with styrofoam.

And now I'm soaked through, have 8 new mosquito bites and lead paint and concrete smears from where I scratched wearing my work gloves.

Next up, replace the smoke detector, listen to Snap Judgement and then take another shower.

Also, of interest to some, I now own a sawzall. I think my bushes should be very afraid. Also the dead pipes in the basement.

I had gazpacho and cheese and crackers. It's too much work to otherwise cook.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A sawzall is THE BEST.
