[DOOR FLIES OPEN]

My quest to spend all weekend intoxicated continues apace. Time out was taken to doing the gardening chores today, but that just meant “hard work” beers, which were “Trash Panda IPAs”.

A tad heavy, but since I was done for the day I didn’t much care. They were cold, in my fridge, and took less than a second to open. I don’t look for much in a beverage sometimes, and these babies had all three key components.

The “honeydew” list so far looks like it will involve:

• “re-imagining” the garden
  • I assume that means changing out the shrubberies.
• painting the exterior
  • God, I hope I can find the same shade of white at the paint store.
• arranging to have the tile floor put in
  • we have to remove the wood slats because the dogs have just destroyed them.
  • They will be replaced with those porcelain tiles that look like wood, because no one wants that 70s linoleum.
    • It sure was tons of fun to rip up.

So it looks like a fun nine weeks for me. The anger may show up in some open threads. Please do try to ignore it.
