I got done with work early and went home to do some yard work
For some reason, I spent the whole time pulling up dandilions
An eighty degree day got me out of my computer chair and outside
I rebuild the cages for my pawpaw trees
The first one seems to be growing more than the second
I had to clean up the work bench in the garage, so I could build other things
I put together my water heater flush kit
The clear hose was particularly useful in seeing the gunk coming out
I got a bunch of brown water and scale deposits to flush out
I put together the propane stove I bought
I wasn't sure if the old propane tank had anything in it
I discovered it did when flames shot up and almost set my garage ceiling on fire
Work sent me out to MAP for the summer to renew 200 computers
It's a 19 mile commute out there, so I'll be putting too many miles on my car
The IT team out there is very helpful
and they'll generally leave me alone to do my own thing
"MAP" is actually comprised of five different buildings, assembly, paint, stamping, body, and MAMC
I end up walking for literal miles every day
I'll end up losing a lot of weight and looking good for bikini season
Ford and Dell and the rest of the bosses are paying a lot more attention to what I'm doing out there
I have to justify every renewal, and fill out paperwork explaining what I did and didn't do on any given day
I decided to bleach my hair again
I always end up having to bleach it twice because I always miss a spot the first time
It seems impossible considering how much dye comes in the kit
and how little hair I have after shaving my head
I've had this idea to let my back yard grow wild
instead of keeping it mowed
Over the years, I've noticed a lot of random flowers growing up through the lawn
I've decided to create a checkerboard pattern with 24" concrete slabs
I could have bought a bunch of them
but it will be cheaper and more fun to make my own
I created a square template out of 2x4s
and mixed up a 60 pound bag of quikrete
The first slab came out well
but there's room for improvement
It's going to take hundreds of them to fill up the yard
My kitchen needs a deep cleaning
I've started moving out my kitchen stuff out into the living room
I'm starting with the stuff I don't use regularly
I'm surprised to see how little I use on a daily\weekly basis
Annie is out of state and is having family come around her house to babysit mom
I've got today and tomorrow
I was annoyed about giving up my long weekend
but mom slept most of the time, while I played video games and watched videos
Everybody knows that everybody will die eventually
for some people the end time is closer than others
Some day, mom won't wake up
It could be tomorrow
It could be another ten years
Recently, I've been waking up with sore hands
like muscle or joint pain
I assumed it was from carrying computers around the plants
but now I'm wondering if I'm clenching my fists when I sleep
