The everglade may have won a few battles but I won the war. Rar. It took getting a degree in weed wacker mechanics and much study on fixing it once it had been downed by the everglade, but now I am Queen of the Weed Wacker and thus queen of the everglade.
Conquering nature generally isnt my forte, in fact I think humans enjoy doing so a lil too much, but in this case it needed to be done and I learned about another power tool which is always sexay.
In other news Im pretty sure that Tamlin has fleas. I was rubbing his tummy last night while we were watching tv and noticed a bug jumping around on him. After further inspection other signs of fleas appeared. Yulk. It was *not* fun trying to sleep after that little epiphany and I in fact stayed up researching what exactly to do about it. Kitten gets a 5 month treatment of stuff that is left on his skin which kills the adult and eggs of fleas and our house gets a fogging in which all living things must be removed from the premises for 3hrs. Joy. See apparently 90% of fleas are in fact in the house, not on your pet. Ughhhh, must resist urge to scrub myself and my house down with bleach. Anyway, I have purchased appropriate products and am considering the best time to use them.
Other random household decorating and straightening has been occurring slowly and I found a trimmer for grass and bushes on sale so now can sculpt, trim and in general edward-scissor-hands our bushes to my content. Some have gotten quite unruly so theyre time is coming as well. Then perhaps I'll feel up to getting and planting some berry bushes.
