legal bribery
ok, so.....an hour into my digging project, it occurred to me that as i toiled away...my youngest was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons at her leisure....and so i marched in, and advised her that if we could collectively get the job done by 4:00 i would treat her to supper at applebees.....bingo.....we were out the door, showered and tidied up by 3:45.......we stopped at the lowes to get the materials to use with the brick walk connector, and also to buy a few plants for the enlarged bed...not too many because i like to save my cash for the hospice plant sale.....and then we sat down to a mighty mediocre meal......at least from my seat...my child was thrilled, especially when i offered her my leftovers for a late-night snack.....but i digress from the actual digging.....my neck, back, arms and wrists are in that state of pain that even a hot bath can numb temporarily at best......and when my spouse called to tell me about his marathon....3 hr 50 min......he gently pointed out that i had purchased quickcrete instead of mortar mix......rats...i'll have to go back to the lowes after church.....bottom line....i am on target to be mostly done with my gardening pre-season projects....life is good.....
