I've kinda fucked myself at work. Been unable to produce much, at all, for about two weeks. I am now within three days of three massive project deadlines, which I cannot miss because the documents need to be filed by a specific date/time to even be considered.

Just can't find my mojo. And the next three days (and probably my weekend) are going to SUCK because of it.

But we did figure out the design for our front yard that used to be a desert that used to be a lawn. Parking spot for my car. Dogwood tree. Japanese Maple. Various gorgeous low-lying plants like this Japanese sword grass, daphne, a butterfly bush, and about 6 other varieties of flowering and pretty-year-round perennials.

Of course now I have to borrow a truck to get the rental rototiller so I can till up the fresh soil we brought in last year, so I can drop another 6 yards of fresh new growing soil on top of that, so all these plants will have something to grow in... and need to have that done before next week so I can smother the ever-encroaching grass before it goes to seed and becomes a Serious Issue for my fledgling garden.

Oh. And i need to fill the four 169-gallon steel feeding troughs that are going to be our vegetable garden, so my wife can plant those right away so we can get some produce this year.

And then I need to finish the back patio that I got 3/4 finished last year before the weather changed and I couldn't work outside any more.

And I still need to replace the deck with the new composite (TimberTech Azek) decking.

And I need to do all this without using my right wrist too much and exacerbating my tennis elbow/nerve issue.

And I have my second vaccine dose tomorrow... which might not affect me at all, but also could put me out of commission for Thu/Fri this week, when I need to make SIGNIFICANT progress on my three projects that are due (one on Friday, two on Tuesday).

And yesterday my wife and I committed to helping produce a Rugby 7s tournament in Seattle in August.

So ya know. Same old same old. Boring stuff, really. :-)
