We had the septic tank pumped the other day.
Twice.
They found the tank, drained it, were convinced that it must be leaking because nothing was floating in it, had hubs flush, and nothing happened.
So then they got two more guys in, started poking around with sticks, and found the *new* (40 years old and never pumped) tank! Then they drained *that* one. Then they fixed the pipe that they broke. Then they went home and left a whole lot of dirt in piles.
During the course of this it was also discovered that the bathroom tie-in to the greywater system was broken and draining directly into the basement. What fun!
So today we cut down an 8"diameter sumac tree. I spread some dirt around to level out a path for the riding mower, and proceeded to put in a strawberry bed where the old tank is.
It will probably collapse some day leaving us with a sinkhole, but I will look upon it as increased surface area for planting more strawberries.
I also put a ring of rocks around the buried access to the current tank, so we can find it more easily in another 5 years when it's time to drain it again. (No, not 40 years.)
I have herbs to put in, and tomatoes (the ones I grew from seed have succumbed to slugs and diverse elements), and some yellow bell peppers.
I'm just waiting for the thunderstorms to clear out.
We also stopped for ice cream. 24 flavors of soft-serve! (One at a time) They mix it in a little vat and then put it in a cup with a plunger and it smooshes out like it came out of one of the big machines. I had apricot. Son had strawberry (did I mention strawberries are his absolute favorite thing in the whole wide world?)
Then there's tomorrow! Yay for weekends!
And my roses are in bloom.

Bump!
Blurgh! I hate Mondays. Although got a couple more free periods now that the degree students have finished.
How was everyone's weekends?
Mine was depressing. Marked 40 assignments and only had 2 pass. I know genetics is hard but come on!

I've given up on the job hunt temporarily. I keep failing at the psychometric testing.
Basically, there's nothing wrong with my skill set. It's my personality that's at fault.

Howdy howdy all!
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
For those in Haven, sorry about my rather random departure on Friday night. Little one woke up and by the time I was back around, it had timed out and I did not fell like looking for my password again so that I could log back in.
I hope to pop in again real soon. Miss you guys!

Herumph!
weekend following Friday night, work things dying, lost phone (now recovered and all my fault as usual) and followed by crap day at work.
Good to hear that the ninja kitty is ok.
*goes and hides in the corner and hopes that Emma forgives me!*
