Despite doing absolutely nothing of interest, the weekend flew by.\u00a0 The garage door still hasn’t been delivered to the company that puts garage packages together.\u00a0 This translates to no door for us to install over the weekend.\u00a0 Drew puttered around installing switches, plugs, and all other electrical sundries that a garage might need.\u00a0 I did my best to study – although I’m the last one who can claim to have stayed focused this weekend.<\/p>\n
R, our neighbour, took some awesome black and white photos of the demolition phase of our garage build and I’ve got concrete finishing and building pics to add.\u00a0 I know, I’ve been promising them for weeks.\u00a0 Since I’m writing exams this week and will likely need a break or twelve in my study periods, I’ll likely get those photos up soon.<\/p>\n
We are apparently throwing a potluck backyard BBQ on Friday.\u00a0 We supply the meat; everyone else brings something yummy to share.\u00a0 Drew has promised to complete many more manual labour activities as my birthday present – gets him out of having to shop and guarantees I’ll be happy with the results (if the promised work actually materializes).\u00a0 Since his promotion he’s changed crews and no longer holds a day job.\u00a0 He’s back on working shift work and is on nights this week (except for Friday, then he’s on a dayshift).\u00a0 This theoretically means that he’s home during the day to finish digging out the hedge, clean up the backyard so we can find the deck again, make my home sparkle, etc.<\/p>\n
It’s 11am and he’s just crawling out of bed.\u00a0 I’ve been up for hours and have been practicing not being an annoying wife.\u00a0 I’m letting him sleep in and all that jazz.<\/p>\n
I have a feeling my backyard will still look like a tornado went through it when the BBQ is scheduled to go off.\u00a0 I don’t suppose I can call off the whole thing on a moment’s notice if Drew doesn’t come through with his “present”?\u00a0 Perhaps the BBQ will go off and I’ll just go for a drive out to the mountains while Drew entertains.\u00a0 Groups of people are draining.<\/p>\n
We’ll figure something out.\u00a0 For now, I’m doing my best not to nag.\u00a0 Terribly hard thing to do.\u00a0 Instead, I’m studying.\u00a0 Can you tell.\u00a0 See, this is me soaking in masses of knowledge to spew out on paper in 3 hour doses on Wednesday and Friday.\u00a0 *poof*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
