Autumn in Idaho = Winter

Life - 

We've been so busy lately that I've unintenionally kept up on my internet fast that I started a while back. I still check the basic pages, here, Mail, facebook, R3, the blueboards, but I rarely have time to do more than check the headlines and run, rarely making any comments.

A big part of that is work, we've got inventory tomorrow, just after a huge couple of shipments of Christmas crap, pile on an unreliable graves employee that has the flu and all I've really done for days is come home, eat a bit, take a long shower and go to bed, where I've slept fitfully.

I've very gradually been trying to get Halloween prepped and ready, but not much has been done. I've got the sinking suspicion that it may all have to happen on the 29th and 30th when I get off rotation again.

There's a lot of yard work that needs done too, some dead plants that are ready for the trash and a lot of summer-type objects literally chilling in the backyard. Unfortunately, we squandered the 2 days of Autumn weather we had and everything is all frozen, all the time.

On the "I accomplished something!" side though, I did clean up the half frozen dog poop in the yard today. This is a very good thing, as it's getting to the weather when our inbred fool of a dog, Pooka remembers how much he loves the.... taste? Texture? Scandal? of eating frozen dog crap, a little treat we call Poopsicles. This is something that needs nipping in the bud.

Writing - 

I wrote 748 words in the last two nights... Kind of sad, apart from the amount of work I got done at work to offset it.

The Last Sentence - 

We're gonna need at least two people up here, folks that can make it up and down this ladder fast.
