I had pretty good intentions of going to class this morning, but after weighing my options I decided to skip Psych. I just had a test in there, and my lab was going to start late anyways, so I figured I could use a skip. I got up around 8 and lounged around for a bit, took Lucy for a walk, and then headed to school. Lab got out way early, so I decided not to go to lecture. Seeing as how my skips before the last test didn't really affect my grade on the test any, I feel pretty comfortable skipping Micro.
Leaving early also gave me the opportunity to stop at a Feed and Seed store on Laurens Rd. I found out my friend Jay from community group works there, and Kristi and I needed another flat of pansies. We planted some around our mailbox yesterday, but wanted some more to plant around our maple tree. Jay was there and we talked for a few minutes. He showed me the pansies and I picked some out...and then he told me I didn't have to pay for them. That was really kind I thought. We are planning to eat lunch next week, so hopefully I can buy him lunch in return.
When I got home Lucy was even more excited than usual to see me. I had put a wooden gate up and left her out in the Sun Room. For some reason if she is home alone and not in her crate it seems like she gets really nervous. Actually...funny story, yesterday we left her in the Sun Room with the gate up, and I guess she knocked it over 'cause when we got home it was laying on the floor. We think it must have fallen on her because when we got home she was hiding behind her crate shaking uncontrollably. She would not come out for anything until we took the gate and put it in the closet. It was pretty hilarious. Anyways, it's probably good that she's nervous, because it prevents her from chewing on anything.
I took Lucy on another walk when I got home, because I wanted to do yard work and didn't want her bored inside the house while I did. I sprayed some more grass in the back yard. We decided to extend the future mulch bed all the way to the patio, so I wanted to kill the grass where the mulch will go. After that I mowed the lawn. It was so nice not to get bitten by fire ants this time...in case you didn't know, I have been wreaking havoc on fire ant mounds in my yard the past few weeks.
By the time I was done it was almost time for Kristi to get home, so I went inside and took a shower. When she did get home we took Lucy to Petsmart and got her a stake and a cable so that we can have her in the front yard when we do yard work. It's not that she would run away, she just doesn't understand that getting hit by a car is bad, and it's a pain to constantly have to make sure she isn't in the road. We also went to Lowes to get some fertilizer for the pansies and rose bushes I transplanted. This weekend is going to be extreme landscape makover, so I will take some pictures when we are done. Things are already looking better and we haven't done the big parts yet.
After Lowes we stopped at Little Caesar's and got some pizza. I am starting to get really tired of pizza, but I am trying to stick to the plan of using the leftovers for lunches and dinners at work for the rest of the week. I can't think of any cheaper way to do things.
Since dinner I've just been watching tv and playing some of my instruments. I tried to clip Lucy's toenails, but she completely freaked out again. I think anyone else would have given up on this dog a long time ago. If she were ever to go the pound as a stray they would put her to sleep because she is so aggressive. She doesn't ever break my skin, but tonight she definitely was so mad she was snapping at my hands. I am going to try again sometime, but tonight was obviously not the right night. Last time I clipped them she seemed uncomfortable, but was pretty good. I don't know if I cut one too short and she doesn't like it now, or if she just started not liking it.
Tomorrow will be a pretty busy day. I have an advising appointment at 11, and then I'm eating lunch with Trenton Stokes, a high school teacher of mine who now works at Southside with me. After that I work for the rest of the day. I wonder what kind of tie Joe will wear to work tomorrow?
