June 10, 2005

I think Dory is going to the bowling alley in Eldon this afternoon leaving me here with the animals. Myself is trying to figure out whether to mow the lawn or not. It could use a mow job but only in some places. I'm thinking I could use the weed-eater and knock the tops off the weeds, a few of which are more than 10 inches high. I don't know, maybe I ought to mow.

Yesterday I trimmed all the bushes and the ivy. Not hardly any work to it but with the 90 degree temperature and the 90% humidity it was a sweat soaking time. Not like a baby but I did wet myself. The wet shirt clung to my body like a second skin highlighting every hideous fat roll on me. I even came away from that little job about half sick but that could have been the results of a quick flash of me that I caught while passing a mirror downstairs. The normal look in the mirror each morning while shaving is about as much of a view as I can stand. Hey, do you ever look yourself in the eye/eyes? I do believe that is the only real way one can see oneself and sometimes that isn't very pretty, at least for me there have been times when I was sorry I looked.
