Aug. 21st, 2008 10:53 amHubbyfink was already working on derusting our pavilion pole pins by the time I got home yesterday. Since we had only one scrubby pad thing for the job, I donned garden gloves and pulled up dead plants and weeds in the back yard. When I started the job, I really did think the best course of action would be to nuke the yard from orbit. But it's starting to clean up a little bit. Picking up all the trash which hooligans have been throwing over the fence has definitely helped. When Hubbyfink finished a bag's worth of poles (eight), I ceased yanking up vegetation.
If you read his journal, you know that Hubbyfink started teaching me some western martial arts moves in the common area behind our house. I was paying attention to him, but peripherally noticed lots of neighbors watching us through windows and back doors. There was even a small group of folks sitting in the grass further down the hill watching us. Luckily, Hubbyfink is chummy with our condo association and our local sherriff in case anyone feels threatened by our practicing slow work out back.
The bugs got voracious just before the Olympics came on and we settled in for Usain Bolt-y goodness. I started working on a couple exchequer reports and didn't put them back down until nearly midnight. Oof. I'll get more information tonight and that should clear up a lot of my questions. Unfortunately, my brain wouldn't let the reports lie and continued poking me that I could certainly find the problems if I just kept staring at the numbers. My brain was wrong. I finally fell into a fitful sleep around 3am but continued waking up several times every hour.
Of course, today would be the day that I have to bring in breakfast which means getting in much earlier than usual. Ah well. My good friend Mt. Dew is keeping me upright for the time being.
