mellowtiggerIt's 9pm, and I finally finished the next phase of the patio project today. I've laid cinder blocks for 3 sides of the 10'x10' patio border, and I laid the patio-facing side of the retaining wall for the raised garden.
Chive bunny watched me on a few occasions today, but eventually I was too noisy and animated to tolerate. The bunny ran away into the alley somewhere for the rest of the evening. I have the pager from work today, and it interrupted me by requiring a drive out to Golden Valley to work on an out-of-service photocopier. I might have joined some Outwoods people for camping again this holiday weekend, but the pager kept me tethered. Probably a good thing, since I made progress on the patio.
I normally don't much care what people smell like, but today was very humid and I ended up offending my own nose by the time that evening arrived. I just finished a shower as cold as I could tolerate. I feel (and smell) much better now.
I have the whole house to myself. It's the weekend of the local science fiction convention, Convergence, so all of my roommates are spending their time out there. It's just me and T'Reese here for Thursday-Sunday.
I think the rest of my evening will be spent vegetating in front of the boob tube while wading up to my nipples in Southern Comfort. Maybe I'll get enough of a buzz to mask the noise from the fireworks already exploding outside. If the weather cooperates tomorrow, I'll start preparing the patio area for sand and bricks.
