So I woke up at 4:45 a.m. for some insane reason and couldn’t get back to sleep. Since no one is awake at that time of the morning–not my kids, not my neighbors, not anyone I know in Austin–I tried watching some T.V. to pass the time. You’d think that with eleventy billion channels there’d be something worth watching on T.V. at a quarter to five in the morning, but there isn’t (I’d actually go so far as to say there’s nothing worth watching at any other time either, but that’s just bellicose). I tried to watch Secretary again but couldn’t do that either. So I decided to tackle yet another project (don’t worry, I’m still working on the credenza; it’s about half finished), which was to finish up the fence/gate for my backyard . It’s a project I’ve let languish for almost six months. I poured the footings and set the posts back in January. But I stopped there and have had nothing but gateless posts sticking up out of the ground ever since. So now it’s mostly done. I’ve still got a few minor adjustments to make to it, but at least it serves its purpose now.
