Monday's revenge
Apr. 14th, 2005 07:00 amRemember that outdoor plumbing repair we had to do two Mondays back? *sigh*
When By got home last night, 6:30-ish, I had the water shut off and the hole about 18" deep. He finished digging, pulled out the hose bib (again), cleaned it, re-fitted the !#$! pipe, crossed our fingers, and turned the water back on. It held, even when we turned the hose on. In the interests of not having to dig it up again very soon, we left the hole, so we could check on it tonight.
And that was pretty much how both of our days went yesterday.
For me, we'd taken two trucks in to the shop by 9am, which left us short transportation on an icky wet morning where no one in maintenance wanted to walk, which left me twiddling my thumbs and trying to come up with busy work until a truck opened up to haul the stuff I needed to plant yesterday. Combined with the fact that it was Wednesday, and already my 3rd day at work this week....gak. Today I get to mulch it and then spray. Joy.
By got a call early, saying Robyn had to take her boyfriend to the airport, and that she hadn't left a list. That means there wasn't much for him to do, so he didn't hurry, and didn't get in to work until about 8:30.
Today will have to go better. We're both too tired for anything else.
