11/30/2017 7:00 PMPhew, I reckon I’m plumb tuckered out! I’m on a THREE ROLL. Productivity, Productivity & Productivity. Nothing of massive quantity but I either really wanted it done and it really needed done and for a while at least IS DONE. That’s especially true of today. After discovering that the milk in the fridge was past to point of no return, There was about enough cereal to fill 3 spoons and nothing I wanted to ‘fix’ in the pantry I thought I might just go to the store. I did and then really fought to find something that “fit the bill’. I did replenish the milk & cereal and found some stuff . . . Then it was home to work BUT somewhere along the way I realized that the little stand the holds my Kindle was missing. I knew I had it with me and read at breakfast. I thought Oh Well the Scout needs cleaning out anyway. Nope wasn’t there. By now I’m getting concerned – it wasn’t pricey or fancy but it worked great and I’ve come to rely on it. The only possible answer could be I either left it a Denny’s or dropped it in the parking lot when leaving. I fought Main St. getting back there and my waitress saw me come in. She said ‘did ya lose something?” with a big smile on her face. Yep she had it for me. Then I came home and decided I’d tackle the Bougainvillea along the side fence. It gets carried away and I’d really LIKE to re-do the makeshift fence along there. If it gets too carried away it’s a challenge to cut back when it‘s growing THROUGH a chain link fence. Did That Once further South along that fence. I ended up cutting all the way down back there. That was not a one day job and I was a few years younger then. Today it probably should have more than one day job but I got her done. Cutting all the branches to fit in the garbage dumpster and packing them down added up to one FULL 90 gal container and part of another. Then cleaning up afterwards to get all the little pieces because they have thorns NOT little short thorns ONE INCH long thorns. Ah but I got her done! It’s really ugly and sparse looking but that condition won’t last long. Maybe I’ll get motivated to work on the fence before the Bougainvillea grows back. Well ya gotta have a plan anyway, Right? I’m great with making the plans but not so good executing them.

Hey Ya-all tomorrow is Friday- end of the work week – Whaa Whoo – But I remember when it was ! There were a few times in my life when I worked Monday thru Friday but really few. Especially being self employed it was NEVER a 5 day week. I could never get it done 5 days or at least I didn’t think so. . .
