sore but happy...  
finally got my grass cut! Kinda. It was so long that I had to use the strimmer on it, but it's all done and having a walkman and shades on whilst doing it seems to be the best way to detert the prats who usually try to start a half hour conversation about how my 'mother would never have let it get in that state'. Yeah, well my mother didn't have a job that kept her out of the house 11 hours a day and then spend at least three hours per night working on business projects and devote her entire weekend to running after a sibling...

God I sound bitter!

Anyway - grass is cut. My shoulders are killing me right now and my fingres are still buzzing with that worrying feeling you get when you've been operating power tools for a long time.

Now I'm planning on taking the laptop outside and getting some writing done.

(and yes, I'm pointedly not calling my sister today and I'm not staying near the phone to wait for her to call)

Bitter is perfectly acceptable, I'm feeling a healthy amount of bitterness myself at the moment.

Well done on getting the grass cut, you've more motivation than me. I've made something like 5 failed attempts in the last week to tidy my room. It's little better but could still be best described as a shit heap.

I hope your outside now, doing a bit of writing and perhaps enjoying a beer (which provides a good excuse for not ferrying your sister about if she tracks you down, 'sorry, I can't, I've had a couple of drinks....').

Heh! Yes, beer was involved which is always a bonus. However, SPF was not involved so remember how yesterday afternoon my cheeks were a little on the rosy side? My arms are now mirroring that...

I sat here for about thirty seconds thinking 'wtf is SPF?' Then I had a doh! moment and all was right with the world.

I just got home from work. Since it was a lovely night I decided it'd be a great idea to walk home, now I'm going for a bath to soothe my sore feet :op.

And after that I'm either going to have a Duvel or make a frozen margarita.......

I'm all jealous now - there's no beer left in my fridge and the only other alcohol I have in the house is black vodka and Glenmorangie...

*sigh*

One of these days you can make me some frozen margarita...

If I'm not on Saturdays on the Summer rota I'll have to have everyone over for a BBQ and margaritas :o)
