For days now my mother's boyfriend has been saying over and over how he has to mow, he has to mow, but mom and I have been dragging him out to see our family because they're only down for a few days and like it or not he is part of the family. Anyway, he finally get's a chance to mow and wouldn't you know it! he didn't mow So, yesterday I go out and I mow myself, and usually I hate going outside because I'm just not an outside person. I'd rather stay inside mess around on the computer or read a good book not get all sweaty and grungy by continuiously throwing a ball through a hoop(no offense to those of you that prefer that kind of thing), but it actually wasn't bad. I was able to think about my story and get past my writer's block, so...Yay for that!
Then today I worked outside for my grandmother and that was somewhat bad because my hands and feet had hurt from working outside for hours yesterday and I had a bug sting me(damn you centipide....do they bite or do they sting?) Anyway, I worked but it was so worth it because I earned a whopping total of 40--count it--40 bucks from the endeavor, which means that I can now go out and buy a new MP3!
All of this means that I am deffinitely starting to think that sometimes work is a good thing....sometimes!
