TGIF!

I heard that out of the past 72 days there have only been 20 sunny days. I honestly can't remember the last one we had.






Last night it was raining when I got home and I noticed that the gutter over the garage roof appeared to be leaking right at the corner near the house. I could reach it and when I pushed up it seemed to stop leaking, but when I let go the water came back. I noticed the same thing a few weeks back and at that time I tried propping the gutter up a bit but ti wasn't working this time.


Suddenly I realized the gutter wasn't leaking, it was overflowing. I get the step ladder out and climb up and sure enough, the entire gutter was full of water to the brim. When I was pushing up on the corner it simply overflowed at the other end. Duh.


So I climb up to where the downspout is and pull some leaves and gunk out of the hole. Swoosh! The gutter empties like a toilet bowl being flushed and the water gushed out on the grass below.


Man, sometimes I can be so dense.






This weekend Kim's sister Tammy is coming up and they are going to go Christmas shopping tomorrow. I am going to go into work to make up some time that I took off for the fertility treatments in the morning, and just bum around in the afternoon getting ready for a tournament I have on Sunday.


I love my wife but I treasure the odd occasion when I'm left to my own devices, gives me time to recharge and relax and goof off without feeling guilty. It only works though, because it is rare. If every weekend was like that I would soon grow very bored and lonely.






*gasp* Sunshine! I see sunshine shining on my fingers as I type this! Its a miracle!


You see, for the past two years I've been sharing an inside office at work, and this past spring requested to move to an outside office since people on the inside offices weren't supposed to be sharing. You either had your own office or had a window. Well, last week I moved to share an outside office with a nice big window but haven't seen any sunshine yet for longer than a couple seconds. Right now there is sun, flitered through a cloud, but sunshine nonetheless. Already I can feel Vitamin C being produced.


Damn. Clouds rolled in. *sigh*
