How Are You Feeling Right Now?

So... I had intended to put up a fence, digging 10 holes. However when I flooded the bathroom yesterday and was trying to dry it out, I heard the foot steps on doom along the ceiling - mice under the floor boards! I went into town to buy some expanding foam and went round filling all the gaps. I left two gaps in the airing cupboard so in they can get into the loft, but Ill be sealing those tomorrow. I did dig one hole, which I was really happy about.

At least you are having all the issues at the start - my house lulled me into a false sense of security then delivered the mice, floods, and roof shit over a period of years 😱

That's a really funny take on it :D
I forgot to mention the ants. How could I forget the ants? Can never forget them for long, found 2 new piles of crap they've been dumping today. All I can do is put two lots of bait down, hope they like one of them, and carry the crap back to the nest and slow down their invasion. I've given up on winning after 24 years of the bastards.

Irritated and in pain. So last week my knee went funny running and my back exploded doing housework to the point I could barely walk for a few days. Today I ran 2 miles and there's no sign of that injury, but while I was pottering about after run I decided the hedge in the front garden needed trimming - it was in danger of obscuring the door. So I did this and in the process managed somehow to bash myself in the ribs with the garden shear handle, don't ask me how, I think the handles were loose so yanking it to get at a bush it came off and hit me instead or something. Didn't think much of it, just seemed a light knock, but now the pain seems to he developing. Won't be the worst rib inury I ever had but for heaven's sake I'd like to do one household job without injuring myself. I also cut my hand open somehow 😔

Dazed. Tried doing some light remote work and my brain imploded like I was trying to do 4 dimensional algebra. Going to have a lie down.
If you don’t like 4-dimensional algebra, stay away from matrices. They can have infinite dimensionality. Fun!

Also, sorry about the streak of injuries. I’m accident prone so I can relate. I’m not considering home ownership for this reason. If I was in charge of maintaining a house, my insurance would cancel me over “deferred maintenance.” Also because my own blood would probably end up on the floorboards. I have seen Hellraiser 2 enough times to know what that leads to! IMG_1161.jpeg
