Morning.
Skywise says he can fix the lawnmower.
There is a God and His name is Hephaestus...
Time for tea!

We went into town for lunch and lawnmower parts. I also got what I need to make a storage tube for the HUGE map I'll be making so it's all good. Now I need to see what's in the freezer than I can make for dinner.

The lawnmower repair is going to be a bit more difficult than Skywise first thought but he's pretty sure that it can be done. Hope so, getting a new mower would be a pain in the posterior right now.

Time for this sleepy little writerperson to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

I slept in too! 

Been under the weather here and it's been raining steady over the weekend so we didn't get accomplished the things we wanted to here. 

And now they are saying that they don't think things will warm back up...  If THAT was our summer I want a do-over!

Good luck with the lawn-mower.  I think we'll be hauling ours out  today if it doesn't rain.  The grass finally grew again now that it's wet!   Catch you a bit later after I catch up on things around here.

Hi, RT!!
Skywise isn't sure that he can fix the mower but if he can we should be able to get several more years of use out of it so he's going to give it a good try. We have more time and ingenuity than money.

Skywise has the super late shift for the next two weeks. That isn't a problem except for tomorrow when he has a 9 o'clock dental appointment. We'll be getting about 4 hours of sleep before we have to get up. Naps are DEFINITELY on the schedule tomorrow!

The storage unit is FINALLY ready to assemble. All I have to do is make enough space in the basement to put it together. Then Skywise and I will haul the pieces down here and get them in the basement. *sigh* If I were 30 years younger and/or I had good knees, I could probably manage alone but I don't so it will take both of us to get the components into the basement. I'm going to assemble it right in front of where it will be standing so all I have to worry about is getting it upright and "walked" into place once it is put together.
Then it's on to the next project!

Skywise is home. He was able to get off a couple of hours early so we'll be able to get a little more sleep before his dental appointment. So I'm going to head out and get started on my sleeping.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

It's too early....
Skywise's appointment is at nine and then we have a bunch of stops to make. We should be home around noon at which point I'll probably fall asleep again.
Later.

We're back finally and I'm not sure if I'm going to collapse or not. There is STILL a lot to do. *sigh*

The assembly area for the storage unit is cleared out. It will be tight but with careful shifting around, I'll be able to do it.
The body is now demanding that I get prone.
I am going to listen. Later.

Okay, NOW I will get prone. I went up to the Guest House to get dinner out of the freezer. Skywise was up there and we ended up bringing the sides of the storage unit down here so they're in the basement now. I'll get the shelves down tomorrow and get it assembled.
Going prone with iced tea now.....

"Prone" helped a little but not much. Skywise is about to leave and I think I may get off my feet a while longer. On the plus side, I've figured out a cool bit for the short story that "could" lead to Our Heroine being where I need her to be. Just gotta work out the particulars.

I got up at 8 and have been writing and doing dishes since. Kinda hard to do either at the moment with WP on my lap.

Morning.
Bummed. Skywise got home last night and told me that he'll be working straight through until NEXT Saturday -- a twelve day work week. He'll get double time for one day and time and a half for another and holiday pay plus his regular pay for Monday which will make for a very fat check but STILL! I'd prefer him not being worked to death this close to retirement.....
Adding insult to injury, Monday is our wedding anniversary and he'll be working. *sigh*

The storage unit is being assembled. I won't get it done today 'cause Skywise is of the opinion that it needs a couple of bracing pieces on the back and I agree so I'll finish putting the screws in and leave it face down on the floor until we can put those on. Yes, the "design" is evolving! LOL

The body is NOT happy but all the screws are put into the storage unit. It's as done as it can get until we hit a home improvement store for the braces Skywise wants to put on it.

In other news, SunLord dodged a "bullet." He threw up on my sewing cabinet and missed my sewing machine by fractions of an inch. I normally leave it out and uncovered but that's gonna change. All I have to do now is find its case which "should" be catbarfproof!

The body --especially the knees -- is still unhappy so I just took some aspirin. Hopefully, they won't be so grouchy in the morning. The Queen and SunLord are going in for their annual checkups tomorrow -- the Prince and the kits go next week -- and it would be really useful if I could walk.

Skywise isn't home yet but I'm going to head out. I'm too sleepy to write anymore on Cliffside Story tonight but it's coming along nicely. I'll probably end up editing out some of what I wrote tonight but that isn't definite. It will depend on if there is a upper limit on the word count and what it is. I'll make decisions about editing when I have the whole thing written and can read it straight through. In any event, this sleepy writerperson is heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley
