which_chickThe well people called this afternoon to tell me that they'd be drilling the well in my yard either tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday AM. I'm really pleased that they remembered to give me about a week's lead on that so that I had plenty of time to shift the woodpile in the yard out of the way of the drilling machine thing. Also I had endless leisure to move the boat (not the boat I sail, another boat) and the two gi-normous upended logs it was sitting on. Yepper. Lots of free time. It was very considerate of them, really.
In spite of my headache, I painted three rooms of TA#2. I transferred money from my emigrant account to my checking account so that the checks for the kids will actually clear. (Brother-the-younger has two spawn with birthdays a month apart. The spawn get money-for-college on their birthdays and I don't buy them anything else at all, ever. I am probably not a very good aunt.) I shut down a number of lame-ass analog phone lines at work and killed another PRI. I put a saddle and blanket on Wren, who didn't really appreciate my efforts in that direction. She did eventually stand still while I got everything organized... and then we walked out into the scary world where she crossed the hard road and got to eat the tall grass next to the cornfield. And then I came home from all of that (head still pounding) and moved the woodpile and the boat out of the way of the well drilling to take place tomorrow. I did not tackle the ginormous upended logs.
By then, the headache had moved up to Category 4 so I went to bed. After an hour of being still and quiet in bed, I felt more civilized and got up and fixed dinner and answered a couple of finance-related emails. And then I updated my LJ and there is no more to tell. I believe I'm going to brush my teeth and go to bed. Tomorrow will be another day chock-full of activity.
