Like Will It Rain Today
The forecast said only 20% but scattered thunderstorms were possible. I failed to notice the part where it said 100% humidity. And because I was sitting under my outdoor ceiling fan when I checked the weather I was a bit oblivious.
So I got out the mower and the bag and set off for the front yard. Made about three passes before I started to melt. Fortunately the amount of lawn in my front yard is small. And the city picks up absolutely anything one leaves at the curb, including grass and leaves, so dumping the bag is easy. Actually the whole thing is easy. Thirty minutes, maximum of four trips to dump the grass.
My brother built his wife a new sauna. Push mowing the yard I figure has much the same effect. Plus, despite my melting, I enjoy it.
And as long as the rain holds off, I will continue to enjoy my multitude of yard projects.
Plus, I got up early this morning and got five of my expense reports and my time sheet submitted. I feel like Rocky at the top of the steps when I hit SUBMIT that many times in a row. I don't know why I dread doing them so much when they are as easy as they are.
The sweat has stopped running down my face. For the moment anyway, I've stopped below the ceiling fan on the porch.
As I believe I mentioned on either Twitter or FB, I've got five weeks off starting this Friday. Three of those weeks are compliments of a sabbatical program at work, and two are regular vacation.
There's lots of sweat dripping in my near future.
And rock raking.
Somewhere in the very near future I need to learn enough Italian to get Shea and I around Rome.
We're still only at a third of our arbitrary budget.
Speaking of Sheaness.
