the weekend comes and goes
sunday afternoon and chilling. spent the morning doing more work in the yard. it is ridiculously satisfying. it is beyond me as to why, at times, but really i know. been working in the yard for about the last 8 days straight, mostly clearing out the shitty plants we did not want and transplanting the ones we did want to the areas we want them in. it is all starting to take better shape. this afternoon i have given to physical recovery. i am just needing to relax and rest. tomorrow i will be back out in the yard going hard.
why won't i be at work? i am wondering the same thing as well, as i have not had work for nearly 12 days. some of it i can reason was due to the rain we had last week, and that is fair enough for landscaping. however, the boof-head boss has been quite slack and i was beginning to look for more work, but the jobs i had organized interviews for were paying way way way less than i was willing to settle for and in the end, got the call from boof-head that there was plenty of work next week and beyond. all that starts tuesday.
rather than sit around crying over it all , i have spent most of my time and days working in our own yard. i was paul bunyan one day, when i rented a chainsaw and cut down a lot of the trees and other stuff that needed to go. cherry played the part of my blue ox, babe, and carried out and stacked the branches on the side of the street for the chippers. then it has been on to digging up stumps and transplanting and planting (new plants) in the yards, and planning what to do next and where we will move the close line and put the vegie garden, etc. etc. it never seems to end. that is the whole conundrum of the house. and for some sick reason we are both totally enjoying it. there has been something to do everyday, that i have been off work for the other job, in fact i think i have been working harder here at home. go figure.
now i am going to sign off and watch a australian film called- sunday, too far away. i had seen it several years ago. it is about being a sheep shearer in australia about 40 years ago. today sunday can't be any closer. peace out.
