But, with the department manager supposedly on campus today, I have to pretend I'm working. Well, at the moment, I'm hiding. I'm in the carpenter's manager's office, with the lights off, at the computer at the BACK corner. I think that counts as hiding.

I did get stuff done today--sprayed some trees for aphids, and put down a bunch of Roundup before it got too windy to spray this morning. This afternoon has not been productive. I think I'm going to go back down to the garage and try to stretch cleaning my sprayers out to cover the rest of the afternoon.

The boss approved my leave for the week I'm goign to stay with my mom after her surgery--not that I thought it wouldn't go through, but it's nice to have the piece of paper in my hand. The tenative schedule is that I go to Lincoln after work Thurs, June 5, or early Fri morning. I'll probably stay there until the following Thurs or Fri, depends on how Mom is doing. By will be there for part of that time, but not all. Don't know how we're going to work that yet.

We'd like to take the big tiller with us, and till another strip for a hedge on the other side of her house. We did one oh, 4 yrs ago, on the east side of her yard, and she needs one now to keep the renters next door from parking on her grass. It's a good way to get rid of seedlings from the Amur honeysuckle by my compost pile. And I'd rather do these things for Mom, rather than have her try to do them herself, or pay to have them done--she just can't afford it right now.
