I got blisters on my fingers !
Yup,
I love that line, what ? You don’t like The Beatles ? Shame on you…
Alright- things that irritate me right now- I haven’t eaten, we have food, but that means I have to cook, and then clean up. I have no job, no money, but tons of bills. The way the IT sector has been last couple years, Solaris System Administrators are about as in demand as Netware 3.x admins. So I may have to make a career change. It sucks, Unix and the net has been the only thing that I never tired of. Oh well. Next, I have blisters under the callouses on my hands, yard work isn’t bad. But when you are trying to fill holes and smooth out ruts from a backhoe and the soil is packed hard as a rock from having feet of snow on it all winter, and it’s loaded with rocks and gravel and pieces of blacktop from your almost non-existant driveway… Well you get the picture. And then I think about the fact I paid some a**hole fifteen thousand dollars to replace my septic and as a result he destroyed my driveway and my yard and then disappeared in a heartbeat, well I could definitely get a little miffed about that one if I think about it too much. But it’s done, nothing left to do now but try and make it look less like a construction site and more like a yard.
Things that make me happy now- G, that she is in my life. My kids, my cats (well Gray cat especially, Max has to calm down a bit), and I could list a few more things. I could be a lot worse off, I have been. Thank God I don’t have to live that way anymore, eh?
Alright, it’s pouring rain out, the yard and driveway are once again a giant mud pit, all the ruts I filled are now full of water, so the loose soil sunk right in, and I have yet to eat. Thinking maybe grilled swiss on rye with tomatoes, and some new england clam chowder. All I have to do is run out (I’m already soaked, what the hell) and get some swiss cheese and tomatoes. Yup, that’s what I’m gonna do. Later on.
