That which does not kill us makes our yard look purdy.

Current time: 9:30am

Goal: Mow entire lawn in one day

Potential roadblocks: Death, mosquitos, death by mosquitos

Stakeholders: Dog and children that can't find their way through the long grass anymore

Deadline: Today

Buying the house on the hill was a bad, bad plan considering I am way to cheap to hire someone to come out and mow the lawn. $60 a week...methinksnot.

Next week is hell week for me as I have a very large client project coming to a close. Time will be limited so I've decided that my usual routine of mowing the front lawn one week and back lawn the next is going to be ditched for a full lawn mowing all in one day. Next weekend I plan to relax and I am thinking about taking a rather impromptu vacation.

So the lawn must be done today.

Wish me luck.
