Jun. 17th, 2008 12:51 amNo Monday's Thirteen this week, as it is now Tuesday. Prior game is still open, technically speaking. If I get a chance I'll post devious helpful hints Wednesday and maybe Friday.
My ingenious exercise program - no, not the one involving 92 different kinds of martial arts and 47 other exercise programs; the one involving quitting life as a cubicle-bound senior programmer analyst and starting a landscaping company - continues to have great physical benefits. Another 10 pounds lost, and that dropped me down lower than I've been in maybe 5-10 years. About 30 more to go to be where I want to be; 55 to go to where medical science wants my internal organs to appear as external organs. I might already have reported this - it's late and I can't remember. Total pounds lost, about 20. From my all-time high (which is a low-point, health-wise), I'm down about 40 pounds.
Walkway for client is almost done; plants were picked up today and set out. Rushed a bit on hammering in the supports for the stacked stone, so we'll have to tap a few of them in and use the rotary hammer for a couple of ones. We'll be holding off on that until there's not big monster rain drops falling and thunder audible despite hearing protection. Planting tomorrow, mulch arrives Wednesday, and then it's just the labor involved in finishing it all up.
Fathead's Day highlights: Deadliest Catch first season DVDs, Deadliest Catch (last week's episode, which we missed), but the best of all was handing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aequitaslevitas his first paycheck ever and going over the paystub contents and taxes and so forth.
Of course, much of the day wasn't so much fun - this is the third Father's Day with me no longer having a living, breathing dad, and that bummed me out. Partially on account of that, and partially because someone told Deb's dad that she was coming before she said she was, I sent her and the kids down to see her dad. I missed having the kids around me for the afternoon, but he was happy for the company, and that's what was important there.
Oh, one more thing: in addition to starting his second full week of work (which here means 32 hours, part-time),aequitaslevitas worked his first 11 hour day today. We'll have to cut one of the other days a bit short - overtime pay without overtime income isn't a profitable way to do business. =)
