Not much going on here!
Just gonna read for a bit and go to the river for a walk later.
Got groceries, cooked lunch and dinner, cleaned the car.
Did I already tell all of this haha
I'm a little bored- but I have things to keep me busy- so I'll drag my sorry ass around and do them!

I'm not going to the baseball game because I'll have to pick up daughter from the party. She'll start fading out around 8 and the ball game will be ten o'clock or so.

Marty, good luck. You get to enjoy the time after you talk. Maybe grab an ice cream afterwards?

Ruby2 07-16-2016 03:26 PM

Walked the boys up to the park for a few minutes. My parents will come get them soon for the game but I'm all for running them around outside.

Jsbodhi 07-16-2016 03:31 PM

I hope there are no kids at the hot tub too marty!
That makes me want to smash my face into a wall- you just want to relax and there's screaming kids everywhere.

I don't do well in shared spaces, I'll just have to keep growing my business and finish school; so I can buy my own hot tubs, pools etc.
I get irritated by other people being near me too easily.
Even someone standing close to me in line gets me turning around and giving dirty looks.
I fear I'm turning into a snotty bitch.

haven't heard echo and the bunnymen in quite a while...
I'm done for the day... I discovered one of the tiers for the fountain had a leak - to the inside, should have waited before I sent the 'spare' back... but it's still okay... remote control works... dug out behind the 'dam' I had to put in, drilled a few holes, covered with mesh and 'filter' cloth and packed in drainage stone, finished the grade on that section and was working on the other part and realized I need to quit, I might get too carried away - I don't - I DO NOT - want to have to back fill by creating low spots and having it low the wrong way... I spent too much time out in the heat and needed to stop
what I need now is a good drenching rain to see how it works so far... who knows, I may have created a mess...
but I sat there admiring my handy work when I was done... it's starting to look like a 'real' walkway now, more sculpting and prep, then stone is next...

Brain it looks so beautiful!!
I bet pictures aren't even doing it justice, I hate when I take a photo but it never looks as good as it does in real life :(

Do you and your wife hang out there in the evenings? Maybe you should put a table out there to enjoy your meals in the garden!! That would be so awesome!
Do you do that? I'd be out there all the time

Lots of Shakespearian references in this gangster drama. Gripping.

Right, thats me for the night. Catch ye good folks on the morrow.

Jsbodhi 07-16-2016 03:45 PM

Ok. It's happening, I'm forcing myself up to go for a walk along the river.

Night behan xo

Upward2Enlightenment 07-16-2016 03:49 PM

Upward2Enlightenment 07-16-2016 03:51 PM

How's the quitting smoking going Jen?

Ruby2 07-16-2016 03:55 PM

Good night, Behan.

Upward2Enlightenment 07-16-2016 03:55 PM

Night Behan

LBrain 07-16-2016 04:11 PM

good night MrB

Js, the fountain is adjacent to the deck, on those rare occasions we have dinner together we like to eat outside as much as possible... but this is all new and she has been going out and having her morning coffee by the fountain and reading her school chapters... I still have to resurface the deck - next...

Soberpotamus 07-16-2016 04:24 PM

Congrats to Galway, Behan. :) That's a great award. I really must visit there now.

LBrain, yes I started over a month ago. I've just now gotten over it. Lol. It was hell for a solid month. It is the hardest job I've ever had. But it's going to be one sweet gig now. It's mostly smooth sailing at this point. I'm over the hump, the point where the weaklings all quit, lol. I don't give up. Haha.

Eating dinner now. Starved.

How do you think it's going ;) haha

I'm going to smart recovery tomorrow so I'm going to try and use what I learn there to quit smoking as well.
I am going to quit and I mean it!!!

Well I got caught in a downpour on my walk!
It's been raining almost constantly for over a week so I wasn't surprised.
It was still really nice and there were a few other brave souls out walking too

Jsbodhi 07-16-2016 04:47 PM

Good for you soberp!
Why is it hard?

Soberpotamus 07-16-2016 05:00 PM

Just be very nice and respectful to your mail carrier, Jen. Thank them once in a while and maybe hand them a cold botted water. It would bore you to tears if I described what I do, trust me. :)
