Time for a quick journal! But that's only because "The Project" hasn't killed me yet. Hubby decided this would be a good weekend to create a wall around my big corner "flower bed" (which really has cacti and succulents in it) -- and so far we have the trench for the footing partly dug, and a load of cinderblock unloaded . . . and we both hurt so bad we had to relent! The digging is very difficult, as the "dirt" is actually more rocks than dirt. The cinderblock was a nasty project in itself, as we had to pick them up from another location . . . and as we began to load them into our truck, we discovered there were absolutely TONS of scorpions living in them! So Jerry just spread them all out, and we hosed them off and sprayed them with pesticide. Unfortunately, just the four blocks we had loaded already resulted in five scorpions crawling in the bed of the truck. I know three got squashed, but the other two? Not sure, but we sprayed the bed of the truck. I'm just glad I didn't have nightmares! They are such a nasty, creepy bug! My least favorite thing in the universe, though I'm not fond of tarantulas, either, and I had one of those in our garage last month. [shiver]
Unfortunately, my husband believes that (assuming one doesn't have to outrun a hurricane!) holiday weekends were made for eating! So I haven't done so well recently. I also learned that it is not smart to work out in the hot sun and humidity too long -- because the best remedy then was to drink a Gatorade, which has tons of carbs, and to eat chips because I craved the salt! Well, Tuesday is another day, I guess. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
P.S. BA, now you know where I was!! But I never saw those plane tickets!! Maybe you goofed and sent them to Dave!
