Today was my 6th day of working!!
Today: Get out of bed about 5:40 am, make coffee, let cats out and pick up Wall Street Journal. Read 1st section and popped on computer about 6:30.
Did check that truck was loaded and backed out of garage 7 am.
7:25 1st client: no access to back yard except w/wheelbarrow so I carried armfuls of brush and filled box of truck. Proceeded to cut down more shrubs so I have another good truck load (this will be load #6). Left and proceeded to take a scenic drive to Home Depot.
At Home Depot picked up a certain type of grass seed, a handheld broadcast spreader (other is I left at a clients house) some lily bulbs for me!! Looked at shrubs and they had a promo on cut-leaf Jap maples (not hardy but I'll try) and grafted dwarf spruces. Both are for me!!!
Proceeded to yard waste site and emptied truck.
2ns client: Looked at rabbit damage, measured for replacement shrubs and and removed 3 damaged burning bush shrubs which were difficult to dig out in a planter. looked at perennial garden also.
3rd client-next door: weeded, swept sidewalk, fertilized lawn, fertilizer tablets for 58 shrubs and pre emergent for shrub area. used bathroom 1st time since I left home!!
Drove off and went to yard waste site again, ate a granola bar and drank some water then drove to 4th stop but had to get gas for truck- $115 spent on gas since sunday!!
Bought a piece of pizza At clients house-applied pre emergent on all planted areas and chatted a bit with clients. 35 minutes later I'm on my way home.
At home, drink a zero call beverage, unload some stuff on truck and load mini tiller and gas can. Bathroom pit stop too.
Stop and get gas for tiller and proceed to 5th stop!! Its a video store so I rent a movie for tonite (The Golden Compass). Proceed to roto till an area about 8 ft x 35 ft as I will seed with grass Monday am!! About 40 minutes I'm driving home!!!!!!!
At home take a shower then grab a BIG glass of wine and book to relax in bathtub-its about 3:30!!!!
3 hours later I've read two newspapers, had some soup, rest of wine and I can barely stay awake!!
