it feels like Friday

[da]

Yesterday, I finished my last project for Kinesiology.

Today, I packed my office and stripped the deck.

The former, with boxes. The latter, with a pressure-washer loaned by the_infamous_j's dad. Our house now has a nude deck.

I will admit, after spending three and a half hours removing mildew and stain from wood with a mere stream of water, that the evening was partly spent wondering, "what would the pressure-washer do to that? And that?" Due to time constraints, I never tried the other nozzle, the one the_infamous_j says will make holes in stuff.

But I still have it here in the garage. So there may need to be an experiment.

Tomorrow, I move my stuff over to my new office in CS, borrow a projector from pnijjar, mail taxes, and hopefully buy stain/sealer.

Yay, we're saved!

The number of times I've heard "that's a potential project for The New Guy" in the last term, you won't be able to retire until you're 95.

Right now I find that very funny.

Not even the "laugh so you don't cry" kind of funny.

Yet.

It's fun here! You'll never cry.

When E. and I repainted the garage, we first borrowed a pressure washer to clean off the flaky paint and a little mildew. We had so much fun, we ended up pressure washing the outside of the entire house. We even hogged the task for ourselves by warning all the neighborhood kids who wanted to help that the pressure washer was a dangerous tool, only for grown-ups. Those things are fun.

Yeah, they are.

Better still: if you decide to paint, say, your new shed- just start whooping it up and the kids will be *there* for you.
