Oh yes, an early night tonight.

Right properly tired from last nights hoot.  While I never felt bad, save that first hour, I never quite felt all that good either.  I think that has as much to do with two late night recently and my ongoing if improving exhaustion.  Nothing too bad, just not good.  Fair enough.  I'm simply trying to push my day along another hour or two.  Sleeping too early can be just as bad about throwing a monkey wrench into the works.

The lad mowed the lawn today, and then set the sprinklers up.  He had asked for a new kind, the ones that you plant, which rotate.  I bought several, two for the lawn and one just for the garden.  I will just have to experiment with watering the garden... not sure what will work best yet.  The water pressure here varies so I can't depend on full sprinkling without hitting the house with standard sprinklers.  A little thing but it makes a big difference.  Another nice feature is that you can hook up some number of them together, which means three garden hoses can both water the hole lawn and all at once.  Live and learn.  Thankfully he asked for these.  I am unfamiliar with this type, so wouldn't even have thought of them. I just disconnected the middle one and am watering a small area that the others didn't quite reach.  I wish I could mow though.  I hate the job, it's just...

Oh, while thinking about it, I decided to call my mom.  I hadn't heard from her since her trip home!  That's unusual.  I had to hunt for my phone though.  She had called earlier, of course.  But my phone was still in my jacket which was out of earshot, and muffled on top of that by the jacket.  I spilled the beans about not doing the kitchen this year.  She took it pretty well if I don't think that is what she wants.  She did realize that we had a bit too much on the plate though, for such a short visit.  It will be good to see her. 

Good night.
