I get paid to do some very silly things sometimes....

I just finished power-washing a tree.

Yes, there was a good reason. Honest.

Picked the thing up (so no, it wasn't a big tree), carried it all the way out of the greenhouse and out into the driveway, laid it down, and power-washed the bugs off. I sprayed the dang thing yesterday, so hopefully, they were all dead. If not, then a new infestation will show up now.

Note to self: bring a spare pair of pants to work, to keep in here for when I have to do things like this. I'm wet from mid-thigh down, and I've got little white bug bits all over me. Eeewwwwww.

My reward for this is to sit at my computer to work on some handouts for Donna's class, and listen to Fresh Air interview Jimmy Carter.

Don't we have a one-track mind today....

better to thnk of that than to fixate on the slowly growing soreness that is my right tricep. Flue shot today, the health department even came to the office so we wouldn't be put out. I guess they consider those who are designing the rebuilt of hte southern half of the state, "essential personnel".

Eeeeep!

I'm going to skip that, I think. I certainly don't count as essential personnel, and I REALLY don't like that kind of needle.

[treeskin.livejournal.com]

Depends on whether or not By needs the computer and internet connection for HSA business. Want me to beep you if I'm online?

[tnrkitect.livejournal.com]

I watered my little half dead tree yesterday and most of the leaf's fell off. It about made me cry. Tomorrow, I will give it to Byron tomorrow, and then you can save it.

No promises, but I'll do my best.
