Thread Drift

We've needed rain for a while. Yesterday afternoon I finally broke down and put the sprinkler on my new perennial border. Then it rained all night and most of the day! Tomorrow's neighborhood cleanup is canceled because there's an 80% chance of rain. Better to wait and have more participants.

I've been missing one of my favorite pairs of PI bike shorts for about 5 months. Today I removed the drawer that holds my bike shorts from the chest, and there were my missing shorts behind the drawer! I'm happy.

My other great joy in the last week was successfully finding the pipe between my septic tank and the distributor box/leach field after 4 mornings of digging. I'd made a trench 3 feet wide and 32 inches deep when I found it. That success saved me several thousand dollars and having a backhoe dig up the yard to find it. My system even passed the Title V inspection so we can now sell the house.

And today I got the key to my new apartment, a 2-bedroom in a duplex house only 1.5 miles from my office and near the bike path. I should be able to commute by bike all winter, though skiing could work sometimes too.

Congrats Deb on your new apt! I know the good feeling.

It took me a while to learn about 'drawer creep' too - it only happens when your bureau drawer gets JAMMED with biking shorts and tights. one pair will decide to 'talk a walk' and mosey on down behind the drawer looking for a little solitude. The symptom is when the drawer doesn't seem to want to close all the way even though nothing is popping up and getting in the way.
