puppy and plant wrangler

Subject line is my new title, self-bestowed. I was tired of waiting around for the garden center (Pemberton Farms, come visit me. Buy plants/pots/dirt/whatever. I'll give you a 20% discount, woo.) to give me more hours, so I am helping our dogwalker with his hoards of slavering pups. Confusing: both of my bosses are named Mark.
In the Welsh tradition, that would make them Mark the Dog and Mark the Plant. Not that I am going to follow the Welsh tradition.

Today I went on the dog-walking rounds with Mark the Dog from 10 to 2, and then had a sandwich and dashed over to the garden center, where I worked until 6.

Tomorrow I work at the garden center 9-5. I'm bringing sunscreen. Who knows, I may even break out the shorts! Forecast is for a highs in low 70s.

Tomorrow night I awa to Ithaca with my Dad for an apartment hunting extravaganza. I'm suspicious of the studio including all utilities and parking for $470 (is it god-awful dirty and bad smelling? Is it haunted? Is it next to a gas station?), but I have to see it at that price. Then I can compare it with the $875 including everything one-bed apartment.

I am a dork. I plan to make an apartment-comparison spreadsheet. We're seeing a lot of them and it will be hard to keep them straight.
