It's been another really short weekend -- aren't they all??? But it's not actually "down the drain." It was pretty productive actually. Buddy and Lisa got everything done that they usually do AND got that drainage ditch for the pond dug AND got the dog yard mowed (despite a barely workable mower). And I finally got around to returning all my overdue books to the library and picking up several books on tape I've had on hold there for a week. AND I took advantage of the Superbowl today and went to do my shopping at Wal-Mart this evening while it was on. That actually worked quite well. There were VERY short lines for a change!
And while I was there, I bought a whole bag of containers of "moth ball crystals." Those "crystals" are sort of chips - much smaller than literal moth "balls" - so they fit easily between the boards of the porch floor! And the moment I got home, I dumped a whole bunch of the stuff under that sleeping porch of ours. So I'm going to try again tonight to sleep out there. (Sure hope all those online sites that say moth balls will drive off any critters that live under the porch are correct!) I'm pretty sure it'll take me a while to relax enough to actually go to sleep out there, but hey -- there's no other way to find out if whatever-it-was is gone now. I was never able to hear or see anything out there in the daytime, or even by walking out there in the middle of the night for that matter. So I HAVE to go lay down out there and lay still and listen for a WHILE in order to tell if whatever it was is gone, so . . . tonight's the night. I'm going to be really careful, though. (Mark said to take one of the guns out there with me but I think that might be a BIT extreme.)
