Morning … I have laid the ground work for the large amount of work that I need to do. I have a few final touches most of which I can do tomorrow but one big one that has to wait until next week. I will look like I pulled off a miracle but it’s just a matter of using time wisely so that I work smarter and not harder. The amount of work is the same overall it’s just splitting it up a bit to accomplish the same goal.
Last night was a little bit of chaos at work but I was just made aware of a situation that occurred but didn’t have to get involved in anything and I got to go to bed at my normal time. That’s the way I like it, keep me on schedule.
As I was heating up my supper my neighbor was running an extension cord outside. He decided to trim his bushes, were in the middle of a heat wave and he picked yesterday at 5p to do this outside work. I watched as the sweat just beaded off of him. He didn’t look terribly happy. I also figured there would be a mess left for days but he cleaned up after himself for the most part, not a perfect job but it’s decent. He hauled the clippings away. I wish he would have been shirtless that would have made it more fun to watch. Rudy and Mora really watched him but I doubt that he noticed any of us. His bushes have been growing for years upon years and were heavily over grown. I don’t know if he just opted to do this, his wife nagged him, he is planning on selling the house or someone complained to the city. I haven’t been outside to fully appreciate the work that he did but I am interested in taking a look tomorrow when I take out the trash.
I’ve got to call my tree guy lots of stuff to trim around here but he will come out now to bid it out and then won’t show back up until the early part of next year to actually do the work. It’s the way things work out. If he actually did the work this year it would totally shock me.
The exterminator hit me up last night saying they would be here tomorrow. I’ve got way too many things going on and being on-call I didn’t want to stop to accommodate him. I explained that we will get together eventually but for now just skip the inside and spray on the outside. I’ve seen a few wasps and yesterday I saw a baby one. The occasional spider but for the most part I don’t see a lot of bugs since I hired them. The mice are all gone and no new ones have cropped up. I am told that its likely at some point they will try to come back. I think that is probably hype that they hope I will buy into so that I don’t cancel. I like the service I just dislike them coming inside to spray, it’s part of what I signed up for. My initial thought was to hire them, get rid of the mice and then cancel. However, I have hung on. I am considering cancelling at some point in the future but it’s nice to have a home that is mostly pest free.
This week is flying by so far and I am quite happy about that. I am eager to get to this point next week because next Wednesday is my Friday and my vacation starts next Thursday and I can already tell you that my time off will be enjoyed but that I won’t want to come back, especially since I have this fun project to be in the office for when I get back. That is going to suck.
As for now I am focusing on here and now and trying not to look too far into the future. What is waiting for me will come around eventually. Might as well enjoy what I have now. I’ve got a call in an hour and then unless something else comes stumbling in I am free for the day. I almost expect something to wreck that for me and it’s okay, so long as once we get past the afternoon hump things are calm.
I hope that you are doing well, staying cool and keeping hydrated. Life is grand for me so long as I am on the inside of the house. My only plan to venture out will come tomorrow when I put the trash out. Otherwise, I am staying inside where it’s cool and the cats are frisky. I got Rudy to chase a flashlight last night, that was fun but was over way too soon.
Talk with you all again soon. Be well.
