Monday Roll Call

Hello Everyone

I had a very nice birthday.  I actually started out working in the garden because it was the only time I knew it wasn't going to be raining (and I was available).  I was able to get the mulch down.  It was so hot and humid that day I was out there shoveling the mulch for about 90 mins and I was drenched with sweat.  That was my workout!!!  Then we went to Cheesecake Factory and I had my favorite turkey burger and my peanut butter chocolate cheesecake.  Ooooo so yummy. 

Yesterday I got a few of my projects I wanted to get done around the house done.  There is only one major one left (in the house) and a few small ones.   

Well this rain is now becoming more than just a pain in my butt.  It is now costing me money.  I am sure you saw the pictures on Facebook.  We are having issues with our sump pump pluming.  Not the sump pump it's self...but the piping leading out of the house....some how got disconnected.  It has drained and pooled right next to the house and is water falling into the window well.  It's a mess.  I will know more later.  I just know everything seemed fine before we started getting this non stop rain.  Now we have a drainage issue and a plumbing issue.  The basement is still dry...thank god.  Well it was when I left this morning.  It has been raining for 4 hours...that might have changed.  And All that work and money in the garden is about to get washed away.  Not to mention I'm about 2 feet away from being blocked from my main access road to work because the road is about to be flooded over.  Ok I am done whining. 

Today I am making taco salad and Greg is going to have some kind of dip.  It's the Hawks game tonight.  So if all goes well and there are no unforeseen disasters I will be watching the Hawks game with Greg tonight. 

Time to go...stay dry and have a good day all

Happy belated B-day! We were up north with limited internet access. I saw your necklace and it is so cute.

Raining cats and dogs right now at about 4:30pm. Our corner is starting to flood. Been to the flower place. Got exactly just what I needed for under $20. I am downsizing planters and veggies. Only flowers this year and I am taking the veggie boxes out. I have no energy for them anymore - 'member I work full time and am pooped. So looking forward to Medicare. We also stopped and picked up some basics from the grocery store.

Off to watch the rain.
