Saturday, June 5

6:34 a.m - I can't find my phone.  That's not the end of the world, but it's irritating.  Yesterday was work, work, work again.  Get up early and get the pool ready by vacuuming it, and then I also sprayed Round-up around the fence lines to try to help myself cut down yard work.  Then it was off to Burlington with my truck packed full of couches and other stuff for Carmen.  Despite my back problems, we were able to get all of it up to her third floor apartment, but I'm glad I went to the school and got a moving cart, because that helped a lot.  Then when I returned home in the afternoon, I couldn't get my truck in my driveway because all of the cars that were there with people swimming in the pool.  (I did have a nice lunch with Carmen and hung out around her apartment with her a little.) So then I was on grandchildren duty and pool area clean up duty and kitchen area clean up duty until about 8:30 when we went to bed because the Harrison girls spent the night with us.  I'm quietly typing away on this now to not wake them up, and this is after already going outside and putting chlorine in the pool and watering the flowers.  Sometimes I think I work more for other people's enjoyment than I ever actually get to enjoy myself.  Maybe I should be okay with that, because when that no longer is the case, I'll probably be dead.  

Later this morning I'm off the same direction I was yesterday...just not quite to Burlington.  I'm going to Stronghurst to work a Regional Championship game.  I have the plate, and we are working 3-man mechanics and that's a little different, so I'll need to be on my game to remember the different mechanics.  The big thing is that I don't follow fly balls as much as when in 2-man mechanics.  So I need to head to first base more.  My guess is that when I return home there will be just as many if not more cars at my house as temps are suppose to be in the 90's with humidity today.

Tomorrow is going to be a project day, so maybe I'll break out a Spotted Cow tonight.
