I'm about to drop a tortoise on Chris head. He won't wake up.

No, nothing interesting. Now that the leaves are off the garage roof, I'm working on chopping down the acre of jungle that all this rain has wrought.


Every spring I break out the back pack sprayer and spray my property with a pre-emergent weed killer. Then in another month or so I spray the whole thing again with Round-up. This year I was moaning and groaning in pain from a kidney stone then recovery from said stone, so I didn't do any spraying. Here's just a sample of the weeds that have taken over my property:


This is what I call, in my pretentious voice, "The Courtyard". It is right outside my side door, and paved in blacktop:

This is my normally weed free driveway:

This is the driveway to my barn:
weeds c.jpg

The area just outside the box turtles, behind the barn (notice the pretty thistle):
weeds d.jpg


This is the horseless paddock:
weeds e.jpg

and my back yard. I hope my new toy riding mower can tackle this:

Cold water works better. ;)

I think someone had too much cucumber. It's a good thing I didn't dump Vern on the BF. I'd be buying a new mattress and looking for a new boyfriend.

You're tired ? That's only ten hours a day . That gives you 14 hours a day off . That's what my boss would say . I know how you fill . I have to work on calls some times .

Ugh even laying it out like that is exhausting. I worked three six hour days, two doubles with an 8 hour an hour break then another 6, and one straight 15 with JUST me and the manager all day. My manager who told us when he started that he'd never buy us coffee because he doesn't drink it, got me a coffee today, and our trainer got me one yesterday. Whenever I've been home, I've been asleep.

what the hell is wrong with people? I just heard a story on the radio about a grandpa who made hamburgers for his family and no one showed up. A very sad storY no doubt. Apparently the picture has gone viral of him sitting alone and been retweeted over 70,000 X. Now apparently a bunch of insane people are sending death threat to the people didn't show up to dinner. So I repeat what the hell is wrong with people today?
