Saturday Morning, Sunday Morning, Its Just a Blur

I worked on the greenhouse Saturday afternoon, and we finished assembling the whole thing, other than the door. I had to modify the roof vent, but I am used to that. Anything we buy, I find that there are better ways to assembly the thing, and usually the hardware is the cheapest and most malleable junk the manufacturer could find. This was no exception. Eventually, we finished the greenhouse, but the tomatoes and flowers in pots are still under plastic in a makeshift greenhouse made of two ladders and electrical conduit. We will probably move the plants to the greenhouse in the next couple of days. I still need to put river rock on the floor of the greenhouse, but we will use the greenhouse in the meantime and add the gravel in spring, if the weather trends toward wintry weather soon.

Saturday night, we planned to watch Evan Almighty. Dave and Josh spent the weekend, so that Dave could look at housing situations in the area where he will be living when he gets trained and situated in his service area. To be accurate, the rest of us abandoned Dave, who watched Evan Almighty, while Heather and I planned to go to bed. I had just closed my eyes, literally, and the telephone rang. There was a primary jackpot in North Dakota at 12:15 a.m. So I got out of bed and hit the road. I didn’t get to the casino until 4:30 a.m. and didn’t get back home until 11:00 a.m. I slept about 45 minutes today, and didn’t sleep at all last night. It was a big jackpot for this area, just a few thousand under $3 million dollars, not a bad haul. I was pretty tired when I left the house, and when I got home, I figured I would sleep so well, after about 30 hours without sleep. I woke up Saturday morning, and here I am, still awake, and the Sunday sun is setting.
