Got the estimate yesterday for the new garden retaining wall and the final price on what cleaning out my vents will cost. Talk about sticker shock! Yikes. And to think, I thought $400 was bad for the vent thing. The final damage will be much worse. :-( I'm going to do it because I have allergies, but this one is going to hurt.
Then there's the new garden. Sigh. It's going to cost a couple hundred more than what I set as my top "do it" figure. Now I have to decide if I do it anyway, or if I wait. The only pro to doing it later is having a chance to save some money.
The pros to doing it now: 1) I won't have to dig up all the bulbs and replant them like I would have to if I waited till later. 2) my dad won't be out there hand digging the garden because he refuses to use a roto-tiller, so it saves him stress. 3) the built up wall will help keep the bulbs safe from burrowing rodents since I can't find crushed shells anywhere.
I have to make a decision this morning and I just can't reach one. I'm hoping for an epiphany. I hear those happen sometimes.
I'm still worried about the project I'm working on, but that didn't stop me from adding to it yesterday. I don't know why.
And I'm trying to remind myself that it's a miracle the Cubs even made the playoffs. That I never should have counted on them doing anything--like winning. Every other team I'm rooting for is winning, why not my Cubs?
In weather news, it's been raining since like 1:45 and I'm hoping the freeway isn't flooded.
