Coffee brewed, am trying to wake up. I started reading a book at bedtime and it turned out to be really interesting. It was somewhere past 1am when I put down the book and turned off the light.

I cannot move the big piece of carpeting that smothered the garden area, it's just too heavy and unwieldy. I should have had it removed when the area was cleared, but I wanted to reuse it. Oh well. Frank the tree guy recommended his assistant for the job, and Chris he said he'd come by at 10.

@Weldman, yeah that happens here, too. Things look slack & bam, jobs pop up. 🥴 Quit working is my only way to stop that🤣 My bank acct doesn't like that idea.

Sun is out. Nice, after a few days of little to none. Upper 60s again, that's all 👍 having morning brew. Checked on new kids a little after midnight, all good. Both were nursing. I'll go hold them and snuggle them in a little while, some imprinting.

Haven't decided which list to work on today. Slept well & I'm allowing a gentle wake up now.☺️ I deserve it.

Technically I will be just there to babysit the shop for "just in case" emergency of anything breaking. Already broken stuff there, but it isn't an emergency.
So I'm going to bill them for the time to drive there, then work on building my service bed..

Back on February 28th they posted my job looking to replace me with cheaper labor and hoping to keep me on call for when SHTF (schit hits the fan) or 2 to 3 days a week cause I raised my rates and I'm too expensive. Yeah that ain't happening now, you get what you pay. It's no longer posted.
Cheap labor isn't skilled, skilled labor isn't cheap.

This place puts that Bob Segar song (Against the wind) to more meaningfulness with winds ranging from 20 to 80 mph from March til April and October till Nov/Dec. Twenty miles north of the city is a wind farm expanding to be largest wind farm in the state.
Woke up to snow on the ground, but don't worry it will be 80°F come Thursday.
