It started when I walked in the door. There had been three inches of rain while I was gone and the house smelled like 10 wet dogs had been living there. And it appeared that a husky had been exploded and its fur evenly distributed throughout the house. The next day, while trying to get back into the work routine, I discovered a tick on me in what must be the absolute worst location for a man to have a tick. The removal left that body part quite sore and I am dreading the swelling and itching that I typically experience as an allergic reaction to ticks. With no food in the house I nearly succumbed to fast food, but stopped myself with the realization that the five minutes of satisfaction it would provide would be followed by many hours of self-loathing, so I went to the grocery store instead. I got the house back to an acceptable balance of clean vs. doggy, and I treated all the dogs for fleas and ticks.

The next day, my computer died.
I had to put in some work hours on Saturday because I hadn't been very productive on Thursday and Friday. I couldn't make myself get outside even though it was a cooler day and I had grass that needed mowing. I could have easily spent the day watching bad television and eating too much food.

Honeysuckle is an awful weed, but the smell is wonderful. |
