Ahhh ... I officially made it through the week! In addition to my paycheck, I have earned the right to sleep in.
It's going to be very cool in the morning, so for the job at hand -- finishing out the newly excavated driveway surface that gave us access to the columns in the carport --starting later in the day will be a good thing. And there's the added bonus that I can sneak in a few extra hours of ZZZZZZs, ideally to continue to chip away at the deficit I created earlier in the week.
The mother and I went shopping tonight. We had some birthday gifts to get and some house stuff to look at and buy. Came home with appropriate gifts -- and 12 bricks, a bucket of driveway patch, two tubes of driveway crack filler and a thing of grout. (I hope the mother doesn't mistakenly wrap any of those up. Can you imagine the look on the recipients' face?)
So now that I've done all this talking about sleepin' in, I've really built it up in my head and psyched myself out. Maybe it's time I gave it a try. Nite, nite ...

A wrapped brick is actual standard Christmas gift in my family. It came from a Christmas long past when the kids (me and my sibs) argued about which was better, a small gift (jewelry?) or a big gift (a horse?). You know. We decided HEAVY gifts were best ... so our dad wrapped up an old driveway brick in a convenient box. Variations on The Brick followed (rolls of pennies in a brick-sized box), but it's sort of a Christmas tradition ...
There was time (when I was re-doing our back patio) that I would have welcomed a gift of an extra 12 bricks. That day may come again when we redesign the back area again next year.
Kay -- That's hilarious!
Why -- You are SO right. There were several times here last summer where I'd have kissed someone for those 12 extra bricks!
