In Spite of it all

Yesterday was a long day.

At 1:30 am I woke up with a CRASH, courtesy of a kid at Wal-Mart the day before, which made me jump out of bed. Got back into bed around 3 and tried to stay there. It must have worked; I woke up around 4 and at 9 am, feeling like I had had some sleep after all. Today, I will be Absolutely Wonderful.

With morning household duties [CRASH!] out of the way, I decided to clean the garage up and tackle the shrubbery along the front of the house. We plan to remove all of it and prepare it for a new look. But it all has to come out. So I started on the west side where several saplings had grown out of control. Had no clue [CRASH!] as to how much a mess I was about to make and was thinking that I would be able to cut it all down to fit into my trash cans and set it out with the rest of the trash on pickup day. Well, it all came down and about a 1/3^rd of it made into [CRASH!] the cans. It will take 3 more weeks for the tree debris to disappear and the bushes have not even been touched yet. Still, it is progress! At least the activity had been a distraction enough to barely notice the crashes [yes, they are still going off if you had not noticed, lol!].

Another task was to work on a computer remotely to repair and install software. I love computer work and it is one of the things that really help me [CRASH!] to focus on something besides the noise. Unfortunately, staying focused is extremely difficult and it is very hard to concentrate for any real length of time.  Did I mention that the CRASHES are still going off? Still need to finish that task.

End of day found me going to bed about 11pm. 1:30 hit with a CRASH and it was out of bed for me. Decided I needed to give it another shot, but was out of bed again [CRASH!] by 2am.

So here is yesterdays post in spite of it all! :D

CRASH!
