I always come around a little too late....

So, I am beginning to wonder if the cheap tree guy is avoiding me. He probably came to his senses, realized he totally under-quoted me, and decided to block my number. I should have accepted his offer when he made it. I've called him twice and left him a voice mail each time. No response. I am just waiting for the day when my neighbor decides to sue me...

In other news, I've been watering plants and cooking dinner and cleaning stuff when it gets dirty. My life isn't very blog-worthy. All I can do is take pictures of the things I see, or the food that I make, or the faces my dog makes.

Veggies and cashews and tempeh, before I added green curry sauce. mmmmmmm.

about to crash....

I am a big fan of waking up early. I get a lot more done in the morning usually. I don't set an alarm on the weekends, and I usually wake up around 7ish. It doesn't matter if I go to bed at 10 or, like last night, I stay up until 2. however, if I get less than 7 hours of sleep, I usually end up feeling it before the day is over. Apparently I don't have a reserve supply of sleep left over from my college days. I have gotten a lot done so far today. Finally filed the paperwork that has been piling up for the last 6 months. Cleaned the oven with some sort of toxic oven cleaner that had no smell, but made me unable to breathe. Cleaned bathroom. Laundry in process. About to go on a run since it is only 86 degrees outside!!! I have a feeling the crashing is going to happen soon after my post-run shower. I am ready for it. Kinda psyched even. The yard is going to have to wait for tomorrow.

Also, I've gotten two more quotes from tree-guys. The highest is $5500, the lowest was $2300...Something is wrong if a quote for the exact same work (actually, the cheaper quote included grinding the stumps, which the more expensive quote did not) varies so greatly. Oh well. I guess my timing belt will have to continue to wait...

Happy day everyone. I am gonna go run.
