Daily Notes- October 2nd

How on Earth can people do these things?  Yoga.  Just getting up off the couch exhausts me these days- and I am not trying to be funny.

We were up early.  The Tree Guys arrived before 8am.  With their chain saw.  It's damp and therefore buggy out there.  Mosquitos looking for blood.  The Tree Climber is not with them today.  So they are carrying already cut segments of heavy tree to the truck.  The Branch Chipper isn't here either so the piles of branches are just about everywhere.  

Neither husband or I thought about getting one of our cars out of the garage.  In case we need to drive somewhere.  I will have to ask the guys to move the tree segment truck before they leave for lunch.

What I am noticing- again.  Because this was so true when we had interior construction crews here doing floors, walls, doors and the two bathrooms.  Men love to talk.  They are always talking.  They will even talk to a woman if no men are available.  I have to actually work to get my husband to say more than three words in a row.  So, these men are fascinating.  They will stop whatever they are doing and talk to me. Husband says that's because they are being paid by the hour.  But actually-- I am paying for the JOB- and if it's done faster, the owner makes more profit.  So, a no talking rule would be more profitable.

Anyway.....at some point I am going out to ask them to move the truck so I can get my car out of the garage and park it on the street.  Library Visitation Hours are today.  Inside the building.  And I have squash to drop off at my friend's house.  Another friend dropped off a shopping bag of peaches.  her tree is later than my two and the Big Wind a few nights ago- all the peaches dropped off the tree.  So baking peach cobbler later today.

Trump has COVID.  Got it from his little girlfriend Hope Hicks.  And Mrs. Trump also tested positive. Husband is reading the news to me as I type.  All those Campaign Rallies paid off.

Well, the Furnace guy is on his way- and the truck with tree logs is gone so I got my car our of the driveway.  Now, in the best of worlds- the tree truck will come back before the furnace truck arrives.
