You know how, if you’re lying there in bed, basking in the warmth under the covers, slowly drifting into the arms of Morpheus, your mind can start batting at all the things you have to do? Slowly at first, like a single mosquito buzzing around your head, then building up in numbers? <\/p>\n
Gotta pick up those sprinkler parts this morning after brunch. Huh. Maybe instead of using using that flexi pipe there, I should leave that head intact on that side of the fence, and simply do another split off the line to that side of the fence further on. That would add structural integrity, but it would reduce line pressure, but I could turn each one down, but how far down the line would the new one be, but that would cover that area behind the fence I’m worried about …<\/i><\/p>\n
Gotta remember to send in that RSVP to the Harvest Auction. Any other bills need doing …?<\/i><\/p>\n
Damn, didn’t get that prescription refilled yet. Maybe do that this morning after Kitten gets up. Hell, the breakfast table is a mess. Gotta clean that up today. But gotta work on the sprinklers, too. Wonder how long it will take for the PVC pipe fix I’m going to do to cure? Can’t test it until then, don’t want to fill in the hole, so I don’t want to start putting up planks …<\/i> <\/p>\n
Wait, before I put up planks, I should really trim off the top of the fence posts. Glad I found those cheap post caps. Worried about how things are creeping out of true by the retaining wall. Don’t want that to happen to the new fence. What do I do if this gate pulls out of true, too. Like the landscaping ideas Margie and I talked about yesterday. Damn, gotta figure out where to put the retaining wall stones by the driveway. Use that fill dirt from the auger holes. Will that be enough? How long will that take. Gotta borrow Doyce’s truck to get the stones. How costly will that be? Is it going to look okay? Margie’s right, we should convert those sprinklers to a drip system. That’s not going to be easy. Will they really handle being blown out each year? That’s going to be a mess …<\/i><\/p>\n
Hey, we got those chains yesterday, so we can finish building Katherine’s easel. Before or after sprinklers? Hmmmm. Oh, damn, I remember the other day thinking about redoing my non-blog web pages, been going on two years since I did, oh, hell …<\/i><\/p>\n
And gotta follow up with Rey about those character concepts. Gotta talk to Randy about that SAS thing. What’s going on next weekend? Oh, yeah, the convention. Huh, what’s going on the rest of this week? Oh, hell, boss-man coming into town …<\/i><\/p>\n
And then you realize you’re wide awake even before the kid would have gotten you up?<\/p>\n
Yeah, I hate that, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
