Good morning, Bark. I have been up since 4:30 so I dunno.
I don't even know why I bother to set an alarm. I wake up like clockwork
at 5 every day with no alarm, and I wake up at 3:40 (before my alarm, gosh darnit I need those 5 minutes! 
) on boat days.
Good morning mixers.
I'm right there with you. I never need to set an alarm. I always wake up either right on time, or early. I always set one just in case, but it is never needed. Of course, right now I am working from home most days and have mostly my own hours. But I still tend to get up super early.I don't even know why I bother to set an alarm. I wake up like clockwork
I was just looking out the window thinking that I should have gone outside at 5 while it is not blazing hot to do some yard work.
That was me on Sunday. I started working in the backyard digging holes and planting stuff at 5:30 in the morning. Was done by 9, or so. It was still humid and hot, but much more bearable early morning.
Good morning random folks Have you any plans for today?
Have you any plans for today?
Well, my bcf and amazon orders are finally rescheduled for delivery today. They were originally scheduled for Monday. I'm not sure why but they sat at the local regional facility for four days. That never usually happens.
I ended up having a pretty decent day at work yesterday. I think I've still got plenty of work for today so hopefully it will go well. I still can't believe we had to buy another MacBook for my daughter. Between replacing the ac and furnace, tires on her car, and now this, I'm feeling pretty financially exhausted. I just have to keep on thinking that we have three more years to go until she's finished with college and hopefully we'll catch a break then.

Hoping you do.
My plans are to find my mojo/gumption today to continue on with the 8th raised bed. Giant slabs of concrete are in the way and hindering my process, and my raised bed building/gardening momentum plummeted.. that and I think just the sheer amount of work I've been putting in day in day out dawn til dusk maybe caught up to me. On the side of my house is a 2 track driveway of concrete slabs with pavers on top. The pavers are easy enough to pry up or chisel apart, but I'm not even sure how thick these slabs are. I'm going to buy a 20 lb sledge hammer and go to town with these things, or I'll have to hire someone.. which I'd rather not do. I'm all about DIY when possible to save money, and because it's really hard to find a reasonable handyman/contractor who cares about doing a great job as much as you do. They want to just get in get out get paid, slap it up call it good and move on.
The best workers, in every facet, I've ever hired were the Amish to put on a new metal roof and 4 skylights. Bing bang boom, done and it was a great job.

Thank you for this! I really want to try this recipe. I need to get TFA creme de menthe and it's on my wishlist.
Mom and I joke that my son will never move out. He is such a Momma's boy. Probably happened because I was over-protective being the only parent in his life and him being an only child. I did good though...he is such a kind-hearted human being and just a good citizen all the way around. He's pretty cool. Kids are not cheap though that's for sure. I just hope he gets a good job and at least moves in that direction of financial freedom from me.
I took some time to clean up my gmail this morning. Man, it'll get away from you quickly if not maintained. I need to unsubscribe from a ton of vape stores. I do it but then I order something else and here we go again. And I'm not sure unsubscribe works all the time.
Morning, mixers, and happy hump day
Sunny and hot (relatively, for us) today, yesterday wasn't too bad, and supposed to cool back down a bit tomorrow.
Hmm, something about 9 lives...

They're busy churning butter once or twice, living in an Amish paradise.
The amish around here just specialize in metal roofs.
I don't know if you have a place around there that rents them but maybe you could rent a jackhammer. It would make much quicker work of that concrete. Either that or a concrete saw where you could cut it into more manageable pieces?
Good morning mixologists. I am waking up...slowly but I did wake up at 6:30 am. I have decided to NOT feel guilty about waking up because I have this witching hour like, after dinner when it is late dusk, not as hot, and well, I go out in the heat and do stuff anyway.
The gland is much better since stabbing my offending gum with bleach and well, taking a bunch of Advil, with the added bonus of my back hurting less (for some reason I view Advil as a personal sin or failing but in these cases you just get to take it every 4 hours. I think I can fix it if I keep going.
Oooh, last night after dinner I exchanged my propane tank and got burning again. It was really excellent because I burned until after dark (until my husband begged me to stop essentially, LOL.) I made the rookie mistake of like not making sure the ground was cool before moving my propane tank over it but my husband explained that was BAD.
Really I am doing fine. I am hoping to finish today so I can help the husband with the steps. Holy God that is going to suck. But so far, all is quiet on the Tucson Front. The husband ALSO appears to need a leisurely awakening. More coffee man.
Need to put sunblock on my forearms. I bought the longest sleeve white light weight white shirt I could find for outdoors but could only find 3/4 length. I have band of like, sunburn on my arms.
This will not stop me from eradicating every vile thing in the yard with FIRE! TODAY!
If i was the husband I would be calling Mobile Home outlet to demand when the steps are coming but I don't dare bring it up yet. Plus, it is not ilke I do not have stuff to burn.
We have Jehovah's Witnesses up the road I wonder if we could "hire" them to do our steps by calling and saying we need to be saved and letting them do the "saving" as they assist us with the steps. IDK. Seems kind of exploitative but COME on it's the Jehovah's witnesses it might save some poor woman getting an abortion for being heckled
Maybe we could get TEN of them. We could tell them we are Satan Worshippers. LOL.
