Another semi-productive day: a little pruning, a little mulching, another meeting with contractor (who also didn't argue about warranty stuff, so the world must be coming to an end). Looks like there's no serious rain in the forecast for a few days, so I'm going to water trees today, which is just right for my energy levels.

By's got to be in early today, because the First Friday/Mother's Day show is open from noon to 9pm, and the intern didn't show up yesterday afternoon, so they were behind in their preparations as of last night. Poor man's running on 3 hrs sleep today, and short sleep the rest of the week; I hope Robyn doesn't keep him until 9 tonight.

Told Ashe not to count on us at all for this weekend's wood-busting. He's likely to have plenty of help, and we just have too much to do at home. I think we're going to skip the HSA meeting, too.

Just in case anyone's been curious about this....it IS possible to make a functional lucet using two 12" pieces of rigid copper wire (the plastic-coated kind) and a bit of electrical tape to hold them together.

Yes, I was desparate. I'm watering trees and trying to finish a project today.

Got two tanks' worth of watering done. Got more to do tomorrow, but they may not get done, since the boss is twiterpated about sodo n a construction project gakking off. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that New Boss really does leave at 1pm tomorrow, so I can sneak out earlier than I'm scheduled to leave.

Got the Turkish socks completely done, drawstrings and all, thanks to my handy new electrical-wire lucet. Finished the knitting and some of the ends on the other socks, still have 15 min or so of finish work on those. Now, to shower and then scramble on Kiri; I'd love to be able to wear it over my dress tomorrow.

K and T stopped in to pick up firetending tools a little bit ago; had a nice chat. Need to figure out if we're giving K money and sending her shopping as our buy-in for camp, or if we're going to go shopping for X amount of groveries. Must sit By down and ask him what we've got time for, I guess.
