Building....

So I decided the other day that I needed to work on my building skills.

I need to work on building my physical strength as well as my mental.
One. I was given the "chore" to mow the lawn, great, fine, I don't mind it, except the fact that the mower is about 500 years old and takes some muscle to turn the wheel. The safety seat is off, so if I get wild on a slope and tip over it won't shut off.

So as it goes I get done mowing, and have to feed and water the dog and cat, simple right, wrong. It would be simple if I was roughly 5'7''-5'9''. The bucket, in which does not have the little plastic thing on the metal handle to wrork as a "cushion", comes down to my ankles when walking. The dog's kennel is on the other side of the yard, which involves passing down a slope and across a driveway with a 5 gallon bucket full of water, which is heavy. Call me a whimp but it sucks! Does the dog really need a whole 5 gallon bucket of water? No but by the time you get there you have sloshed so much water out its about 3 gallons and after pouring out his old and rinsing the dish holds about 1 1/2 gallons. All while doing this with a very HYPER 1 year old Golden Retriever, who is insisting you are wanting to play with the water and bucket, running and jumping around you. Doing these things with no sweat is going to help me help Wes more. :)

Mental strength,
I have come to realize that getting married in 15 days and with my luck, Wes going to the field in 16 days (odds are good) I am going to be home alone in the middle of nowhere. No problem right?? Down time, relax, nest yourself in the new place etc etc etc...... WRONG>>>>>>

1) I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF THE DARK. I run from the light switch to the bed, I mean seriously, and Wes has yet to fix the pole light outside in the driveway. AWESOME :S

2) Sometimes (alot) the house blows fuses or looses electricity. Fuse box:: located in the creepy corner in the odd shaped dungeon   room in the basement. (refer back to #1)

3) Just married and by myself,,,, Not fun. :(
 Courage. Courage. Courage.
BUILD BUILD BUILD

Welll tomorrows a big day I will try to get back here asap, and maybe with my free time I can work on some pictures on my blog!! :)
