Not quite as bad as I thought.

.

Oh, the grass is brown.  But some of the plants might survive, if I begin watering them.  I may hit them with water now, just at the base, and then water them tonight.  I was sure they would be completely dead.  Not so much, not all of them.  The real surprise was setting up the hoses.  I thought that was going to quash me, all by itself.  Really?  It just wasn't that bad.  Winded, but I did it pretty quickly, for me anyway.  I won't run the water until tonight.  But I did get the sprinklers roughly aimed where I want them to go.  The rubber hoses I am sure about, the others... I will just have to see if they failed yet, or not.  I have several spare, and may buy another hose or two, slowly replacing all of the junk hoses with longer lasting, heavier duty, ones.  As they wear out, anyway.  Damned expensive, but if the quality proofs the price, there you go.

I also swept so that I can spray for bugs shortly.  I let Sam run with me while I was putting the hoses out, then she came in, thinking she would be allowed to play the in-and-out game.  Tricked her.  I need her in, for at least three hours, after I spray.  She neither knows, nor cares, she just wants to do what she wants to do, and being inside isn't it.  Like a child, or woman, she holds her head high in ignorance.  Oh?  Yeah, sure, men do too, but as the apex predators... and son's of Adam, we are the end of the line.  So... tuck your head in your lap and prepare for a ride!  Anyway... after the rest I get posting this, I will spray, then shower.  Good to shower after sweating, and spraying.  Then a bit of down time as I figure out what next to do.  The kitchen table, a bit more sorting as I can.  Then sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping the kitchen and bathroom.  After that I don't think there will be much else I can do.

Tomorrow I only plan on doing a few simple things.  Clearing and cleaning my desktop, calking around the toilet, and resting.  Perhaps sanding the workbench top, and putting up a few things for out there.  Sunday, mostly, will be a day of rest.  Then I will figure out where to go, and what to do, Sunday night and try to hit it Monday... or Tuesday.  It has been a very good week.  I am back on track for as long as it will last.  I can not only see a future, I can plan it, then make some of those plans happen.  And organize?  Seriously?  That has me... amazed.  Magic.  Later.
