It's Thursday?

And so it is. I stayed up late (past 2am) to see if duckie was coming online. I went to bed and got up before 11am. Around noon I went outside.

I decided to take a shot at the farside of the drive way and pulled out much of the overgrown grass. I guess I startled a lizerd in there because suddenly there was something wiggling at my feet. It was part of a tale. That thing continued to wiggle into a circle one way, and then another, for easily five minutes. I never did see its owner. Anyway, I got that flower box (not that I remember it ever having flowers mind you) cleared out. I got the tiller working although it was awkward to use in such a small area.

Later I decided to tackle the southern side yard. It went about as easily as I could've expected and eventually I got it basically all cleared. I still have some bags of concrete to remove. Well they were bags of concrete 10 years ago. Now they're blocks of concrete. Otherwise it doesn't look bad. Another thing to cross off I guess. I now have more debris in the driveway. This I can just bin as room becomes available. I battled some allergies along the way but that seems essentially settled now.

In the later afternoon I'd put away my landscaping tools and got the paint out. I finished the last side of fence. One more item complete. It was getting later so I call it a day. I've had cereal, a small frozen meal and a salad. Not a lot.

Been wondering if I want to go next door this evening for a bit of TV and chat. Might be a good idea. Better phone soon if I'm going to, however. The cat is demanding her dose of hairball remedy. I guess today was productive but it wasn't as satisfying as it might've been. Oh well.

It's about 10:30pm. Feeling scratchy in the lungs. Allergies. Grrr. Didn't go out this evening. Just got an email from the lawyer. She needs to get in touch with the half-sister(*) to answer questions for the court. I have no relationship with her so I passed the request off to Brother & SIL. Just because I'm paranoid, I'm curious what kinds of questions. Anyway, Tues is our court date but I guess we're not going, just the lawyer.

(*) She is daughter of Father's first wife. May or may not be Father's. He supported her as if she was anyway. She's over 50 years old.
