sunday - not all sunny

well, yesterday ws uber productive. today, not so much. i started pulling down border. it is a little slow going - good thing it is just border to remove. of course, it would be less slow going if i actully did it. mid-day i had to take a break to go let my friend's dog out. they called me this moning to ask if i would mind coming by their house to let out the dog because they were out kayking and didn't want to leave him in the hosue for 12-14 hours. well, i did it because i'm nice - even though it is a 30 minute drive from my house up north to their house down south. of course i brought daisy and the two dogs ran around the yard and body slammed one another. it was fun for her. not so fun for sarah - no labor day cookouts for me - just hard work.

i'm still without my new lawn furniture :(

more importnatly, the bathroom/plumber crisis is getting worse. it started out with the fact that i noticed that the plumbing in the master bath was making weid noises - air bubbles appearing in the toilet when the shower was running. so, i called the home warranty compay and the plumber was supposed to come out. meanwhile i started using the hall bathroom instead. the plumber called back and was supposed to come out tuesday. they never did. on thursday afternoon i called the home warranty company after giving the plumbers time in case i wasn't paying great attention when we talked. the home warranty people left a message with them and the plumbers called me back. they said they hadt he wrong phone number for me and we agreed that they would call friday afternoon and we would do the house thing then. no, they never calledand they never showed up. meanwhile, the hall bathroom shower is starting to drip and it won't turn off all of the way, no matter how much i turn. ugh to home ownership ;-(.

in other, beter news - just removing the border in my bedroom makes it look better. i can't wait to see what it looks like with decent paint. i'm tempted to put in a new ceiling fan too - but that might be a bit much for right now. the big prioritiy is the fence. now that the back yard has furnitue an the sunroom is useable i want to be able to put daisy dukes out there and eat or read.

daisy dogg is lying on the couch next to me passed out - apparently half an hour of playing with a boy and a 1.5 mile walk will do it to you...

other good news - it rained. the plants are thanking the Lord.
