The brakes got hit as money haemorrhaged (we needed a new vacuum cleaner and some expensive medical shenanigans happened) which gave me a serious case of Veruca.

I “just” wanted to get more plants and some recycled rubber pavers to replace the concrete ones (the rubber pavers theoretically should move with the ground, the tree roots have heaved the path and one of the concrete pavers is broken and the rest of that part of the path is basically a constant trip hazard from end to middle and while gravel is the easiest option I also “just” want everything up that end to be barefoot friendly) because I “just” want the the yard to look nice for once.

Phew.

I almost feel like I’m back at school whenever I’m doing this, though at least here I know exactly what I’m doing unlike at school where I never could figure out why we had to “rule up” in a specific way. Also I enjoy my job, I hated school.

Think this is the fastest we’ve done it since they introduced the timer that we’re still ignoring til the end.

Got woken up at 4:21am by a giant rat or cat or possom or hantu or something in the roof. Should have recorded the horror movie worthy scratching and chewing/chomping noises but I was annoyed about being woken up. J went to investigate but couldn’t see anything, said he was going to put ratsac in the roof, said he should make sure it was actually rats first as it sounded too big to be a rat. Now everything is running late and I’m tired.

Still been doing these (and failed last night’s cross swap x_x XD), just haven’t posted as a combo of stupidly busy last few weeks and not wanting to soley be posting hive puzzles as fun as they are. I also love that there’s a lot more little hive games.

Today’s gardening efforts, clearing out gravel from under one of the aquaponics grow beds without hitting my head.

Yesterday was a Hallmark card day (Mother’s Day). There was a very nice card and some flowers. I’m going to attempt to dry these later.

I forgot to get a photo of dinner (probably best chicken Youngest has made to date) but not dessert!
