  • Rain, Rain, and More Rain

    So, umm, yeah, it’s been raining a lot here, which isn’t very conducive towards finishing up the landscaping and patio stone projects at the Main St. house.  Truth be told, I’ve been lazy this week myself, as I haven’t been over to work on the house after work at all since Tuesday. Most of the remaining work is all exterior stuff, but there’s still some painting and hanging of closet doors that I’ve been ignoring. Boo, me.

    I could blame it on assorted legitimate things (mainly just catching up on work that piled up at the day job while I was in Vegas), but much of it is the simple desire to take it easy for a week, and pretend to be a normal person, as far as eating dinner after work and doing fun things like watching TV, playing with our new spastic dwarf rabbit Creasy, or wasting time online. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world, and the plan is to be back to the grind this weekend and next weekend, as I really am pretty close to the finish line on the Main St. house.

    So there’s your update. A whole lot of nothing. Heh.
