Four day weekend. Thank god. Rain possible here and there every day, but it's looking promising.
To do list:
Get the bigger plants in the ground
Scythe/mow around the plant cage boxes
Gather up the cut grass and start yet another compost heap in the corner of the raised planter by the shed
Loosen the soil/weeds/compost in that planter for use as compost for growing plants
Drag the really long 2x10s from the deck fire from behind the shed and put them in the middle of the yard to kill the grass for future cold frames
Chain smoke
Drink too much (but only after 5PM)
Shave my beard off (for heaven's sake)
That'll do. If I get half of that done, I think my mood will improve greatly, though that's not saying much since it has nowhere to go but up.
Life is so damnably short. I guess that's why we need pain: just to make it seem longer.
Happy Memorial Day.

Keeping busy definitely helps, or at least beats the alternative.
A peaceful Memorial Day weekend to you Switters.
Thanks, Schmutzie. You do the same, and behave yourself. I greatly appreciate your support and your stories. It does help.
I'll see you Tuesday. But let's do have a drink together later this evening. Wine then beer. (Ick. I know, I know.)
We're winding into something here too, don't know that it's down, exactly, but the kids are all agog with expectation. Giddy effers.
I hope you're writing.
One day at a time brother, but you already know that.

Beard? Dude, that's only one step away from sweatpants in public (um, you know, or so I heard...)
The old man has been known to say that a bad day at home beats a good day at work, so there's that.
4 day weekend! Is that some kind of southern thing because around here we only get 3. (I could have had a 4-day, but I'm subbing for the church secretary today. Fun! Wanna know who tithes and who doesn't?) Man, sometimes I miss chain smoking.
I grow a beard every winter. And as a rite of spring, like the first robins and the budding of the trees, I shave that fucker off. Too hot in the Ham to wear fur. Off with it I say!
Praying for healing, grace, and traveling mercies for you.
Positive thoughts, Swit.
djoko out (like an hour ago). we're cheering for federer, right? he needs the record as bad as sampras needs to lose it. best and all that. do you have a ring of black under your fingernails? i do. i pack the dirt manually, and i don't like gloves.
take care.
dave
addendum: took awhile, but nice tackle
Sorry, couldn't leave it out there. But Aimee's right.
Hope you had a nice peaceful holiday weekend Swit. Hell of a Wimbledon final, eh?
