Today is the day the grass here must be cut since the new driveway goes in tomorrow… I think it does anyway. Text messages from the sellers were confusing. “We’ll be working on the driveway on Thursday…” and then, “we’ll pick up the packages when we’re there on Saturday…”
I just want the driveway in and the playset down and moved. Oh… and the closing — I’d like that done too. 🙂
Yesterday was “see if we can make Shelley stroke out” day.
Trying to clean up the landscaping mess, I probably made 2500 trips from the front door to the woods to dump Teddy Bear’s trusty (and ancient) wheel barrow. The small incline felt like a mountain after 10 trips but I did not stroke out in the 90° F heat.
The inside needs attention too.
Just as there are a bajillion things that need attention outside, the inside is rough too. I’ve never seen so many dings and tears in drywall in my life. And there’s a wooden letter “R” stuck on the wall in the upstairs bath that I’ll need a prybar to remove. Sheesh!
At this point, I’m just putting furniture inside, hanging up stuff on existing nails, and waiting on the closing so I can go to war. I’ll be patching and painting for the next who knows how long. G’bye green!
Fall comes tomorrow. Probably.
The forecast is for high temps to be 20° cooler than yesterday and today. I love the change of seasons in the Midwest! Looking forward to sweatshirts and bonfires, you guys. I’ve got the s’mores ingredients waiting.
TIL (Today I Learned): In 2006, FBI agents attempted to arrest prison guards at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee, after having learnt the guards were trading drugs for sex with female inmates. One of the guards opened fire with a personal handgun, killing one agent and wounding another.
