Work
Work really picked up this week. I don’t do the nine-to-five routine. Each job I do is a stand-alone contract, so when the phone doesn’t ring, I start getting nervous. It’s been pretty slow for a while, so the last few days have been gratifying. Knowing I won’t be sweating over the bills is always nice.
Haven’t gotten much done around the house. Got the front garden weeded and the huge pikake bush trimmed back. That garden is the only part of my personal territory that’s completely visible from the street, (since it’s outside the fence) so it’s got to be kept respectable. Between the pikake trimmings and the weeds I nearly filled a very large black rubbish bag, but I compressed it some and managed to add the leaves from the plumeria tree that’s inside the fence in the front yard. I always manage to forget which day is green waste pickup day, but a friend was kind enough to haul my stuff to the place where it gets turned into something else - mulch I think. I had a couple of fallen palm fronds also. They’re eight or ten feet long, so we whacked them into short pieces and he took that away, too.
Project: I really, really need to empty the pantry completely, toss the things that have been pushed to the back for entirely too long and get the rest into some kind of order as I put it back. Work on the books continues.
