I drew up a military style plan to make my dad and step dad design me a pond. Stepdad just had several heart attacks, ended up with a 5 way bipass, and dad gets shoulder surgery early January. Oddly, they are great friends, so to keep them busy and not trying to do physical labor, I’m assigning them the task of figuring out best placement and design for my new pond. Since the field to the south has cotton which requires spraying of pesticides, stuff that’s toxic to my fish, I’m putting them on it to find me a better location. If I’m lucky, they’ll both get into ponds and keep busy researching it, drawing it out, and planning it out to a t! I figure if I’m lucky, it’ll take them at least a month of sitting around drinking coffee and healing before I have to threaten them with straight jackets for trying to lift/ dig/ hurting themselves!

Lost my table last week during a power outage, I have searched the house top to bottom and it can't be found so I had to replace it today. The other one was old but it still worked ok, so now I keep making mistakes when I type something as the keyboard is a different size.

I’m baking goods and wrapping presents for today’s Christmas party at work. We did a secret Santa thing, the girl who’s name I got just wants baked goods, but I got my boss 7 mini bottles of booze, plus three fudge covered disorono cherries. That was an effort to wrap, the cookies will be easy!
