The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

I am tired of traveling here every week. I’m so freaking grateful that I can usually bring my better half with me but days like today, where I leave the jobsite covered in concrete, headed to a hotel I don’t like because my preferred one didn’t have rooms I just want to be going home, to my own bed, with my dog asking for cuddles and my cats being adorable dicks. I’m tired and mad I’m alone. I need a cheese stick and my THC.
 
Well, positive things about working exclusively outdoors. I got the chance to watch summer turn to fall, this afternoon. In the midwest, it can happen quite spectacularly. You can see it coming from miles and miles away. Watching fall, expand and fight with the sunner air. Hot, sticky oppressive. You can see them collide and thrash around each other, advancing slowly, inch by inch, until it looms on the horizon. Suddenly, its on top of you, you can feel the dance of summer and fall, swirling around, hot mixed with cold, dry mixed with wet. Then, like someone switched off the light, the summer gets sucked out, and you feel the fall. . Its pretty crazy. It comes in after hours of watching and hoping it will be sooner than it is. Just as quickly as it came, its gone. No more sticky, no more wet heavy air. Just the early fall breeze. Relief.
 
got my overalls patched up ready for this week with its promised cooler temps. can. not. wait. So much to do outdoors and right now my back is bitching but if it means painkillers, I'm down with it.
 
damned cat woke me up so often and so loudly from about 5 am, it's done a number on my head. In the end, I gave up about 7.30 to see where the fire was or to see if H had fallen or something... no, Digit just wanted his breakfast. Fucker!

still, it got me outdoors earlier and on such a pleasantly cool morning. Got a ton of mowing done plus some desperately needed weeding of the potted plants area. Supposed to be like it all week so yay!
