Send in the Calvary!

Reinforcements have arrived. After being marooned without entertainment for 3-4 weeks, my new co-worker started this week. It’s been too busy to tell if she’ll be interesting during the dry season but she showed hope with a story about wild gypsies that bamboozled her senses, stunned her arm with intoxicating pressure points and then took her wallet. She’s got extremely large shoes to fill, but I have been assured by many that she’s got the large, highly-bunioned feet necessary for the job. Only time will tell.

She made an obscure reference to reading my blog and it was tough to tell if that was a one-time perusal (in hopes of impressing me with knowledge of my life) or if it signifies the first stage of early-onset dementia. Either way: she’s refrained from commenting… it was her birthday today (for which she hung 2 different posters all around our floor)… she sleeps in late when claiming she “needs to go to the bank until 1pm”… and her books will all get wet the first time I water the plants. I am physically incapable of pouring water directly from a crevasse into a pot. Just ask Mayor Eric.

A trick; IF you fill an old used plastic water bottle, cap it with your finger until you've placed it upsidedown into the dirt of a vase-leaving it there, water will slowly seep out of it with time and you will have to water less and not spill. I would warn Big Foot before attempting this tho, just in case you fail.

Mayor Eric is currently out by the coop busting up concrete then tossing it into a giant dumpster - a very mayoral thing to do.
