'Morning all...
My old lawnmower failed recently so it was time to replace it. Between my recent injuries, our rather unlevel yard and the fact that the summer heat levels here are starting to actually become dangerous on a regular bases, I finally opted to spend the bucks and get a ridding mower. You still have to bust out a trimmer to get in the spots that just can't be navigated, but that had to be done anyway. The only problem now is I probably need to buy a small shed to store it in (one reason I hadn't purchased one up to now). Hate spending that much money on something I use to be able to accomplish by far less expensive means but circumstances forced my hand.
Not that any of this matters a hill of beans to anyone, but I don't really have much to add to the conversation otherwise.
DD15 was invited to a Fringe show last night. Went with a friend and her friend's Dad. Apparently a co-worker of his was supposed to be in it. I read the description and told her that she might find it boring. "It looks like an alternate political history musical." She said "I like musicals." Okay.
When she got home, she bounced into our room and announced that it was great. "But there sure was a lot of sexual stuff! My friend asked her Dad if he had known it was going to be like that, would he have brought us. He said "NO!!!""
Scarred for life!
On the up side...
When she starts seeing a therapist, this at least, is one incident she won't blame on her parents.
That's a win.
However, a friend's FIL died this week and we went to the funeral. He had hospice care for cancer. There was only about 30 people there. Life is short. Plan for the future, but live life everyday.
Sorry to hear that for them or anyone. Funerals aren't much fun either.
Hospice care, though, is a good thing and needs praising.
Those folks do good work during difficult times.
That's because Randall is their leader.
The master of sneaky.
Gonna take the bike out for a spin before 1. It rains and 2. I go to work.
Hope you had a great outing.
You're welcome to send some of that rain down this way.
We could use a bit right now.
Oldest dd's team placed 7th in 200 free relay and she earned her first state medal. Championships are awarded 1 through 8, earning a spot into one of the 8 finals lanes from the different heats. Her team didn't make the medley relay final, and she still has one more relay event to go.
Congratulation and good work on her part.
A good experience that offers reason to continue that hard hard work.
Some catching up to do here, but in the meantime in honor of the DisDads (nice cigar and Makers Mark on the ship in St Thomas)
Yeah... that's not helping my situation much.
But I'm glad someone's out there having a great time.
Next stop: CC... hope y'all have a blast.
Morning boys.
It is morning, isn't it?
What a crappy night. Got off work last night at 10:30, home by 11. In bed by 11:30 with the alarm set for 5am for the next shift.
This is how I spent my night:
"Midnight... gotta get some sleep."
"12:30.... okay... need sleep."
"1am... might as well read for a while."
"2am... okay. Surely I can sleep now."
"3am... only 2 more hours to go."
"3:30am... puppy's barking."
"4am... maybe I can get an hour."
4:15 - 4:30 finally fell asleep-ish.
5am. The alarm goes off. Oddly enough, I'm still tired.
Sound's a lot like my Saturday night.
Of course I didn't have to be at work Sunday morning, so once I finally got to sleep I was able to stay that way for a couple hours.
More caffeine for you seems to be whats in order here.
