This week has kicked my tail. Wow.
Last weekend was productive, but took a bit of work. We’re re-doing the backyard: leveling the ground and laying new sod. Saturday we did some prep work – spread a truckload of woodchips under the trampoline and got a bunch of the organizing done. I figure if the kids crash off the tramp, they’ll just get splinters instead of broken bones.
Sunday saw a rack of people come by to help spread a truckload of topsoil. Each of us is a lazy slacker, but the combined 10% effort that we all put in added up to about 150% work ethic. Under 2 hours, and we had it all laid out.
Monday whipped me. I lost. I started the day at the dentist, then worked until about 1030 pm. I didn’t even finish, but I had to stop working anyway b/c my spelling was really turning cr@ppy. T-W-T were long days, too, with an addition of kidstuff.
MiddleWaster is heading down to Richmond this weekend for state WinterGuard competition. They’ve got two performances tomorrow. Not sure if they’ve got stuff on Sunday yet – it may depend on how they do on the first day.
The weekend has more yardstuff in my future. I’ve got a delivery truck in my driveway right now, unloading pallets of sod. Tomorrow morning we’re getting the power equipment out to start tilling the backyard. Then we’ve got rolls and rolls of grass to unroll. Yeah, I know. None of you has ever seen me UNroll the grass.
I’ve been driving all over the state today, meeting to meeting, and picking up different bits of equipment. I’m about ready to GTF outta here.
We’ve got a new-guy manager at the bar tonight, so I’m not overly thrilled to make it to work. Breaking in the new-guy managers really wears on my patience. It always takes ‘em a month or two to realize that it’s actually MY effing bar, and they’re lucky that I allow them to work it while I’m not there during the week.
Happy effing Friday! :-)
