Setting up irrigation - part 2

Wednesday

I got up at 7:30 to prepare for coffee morning. Chris came home before I was done to change clothes to go to Org Day. I finished tapping and meditating. I cleaned the bathrooms.

Michelle left a message to call her, so when I finished the bathrooms, I called. She had gossip for me about the colonel. I talked to her as I washed dishes. I finished the kitchen and did some vacuuming. I laid outside in the sun for awhile. Then I took a shower.

I went to 211 to clean for 1:45. Then I took two short hoses and went to the pear tree. I stopped at 60C to get my wrench. Then I passed Casey sitting outside with the kids. I got out the hoses and tried to hook them up, but I wasn't strong enough. Casey came over to help. He got the splitter in place and hooked up. When he went home for WD40, I turned on the water and discovered a leak in one hose. I went to my car for a plastic bag and some twine. But just then Randy and Saronna walked by with the kids. He said he had just the thing. So he went home to get a connector. He worked on it for some time. Finally everything was in place and both trees were getting watered. I set the timer. I put placards on the system to warn people not to mess with it.

When I got home, Chris was already at Mass. I took the long mutilated hose that we didn't use and put it near the shady faucet. The yard needed mowing, and it was full of sticks. So I raked and mowed, raked and mowed.

Jamie had been having a hard day and I know yardwork makes her feel better, so I put the rake and mower away and gave her a call. We talked through her tears, and then we were laughing. Chris told me that I had gotten a call from CC Fraud Prevention so I called them back and we discussed the issue.

When the call was over, I worked on my blog. Chris was sleeping on the couch. I made tea and we watched one episode of Longmire. Then we read a lesson from the book. Afterward, he went to bed and I stayed up to read articles.
