Just Call Me Manuel

For a person that doesn't tan well, I sure have been working a lot like a so-called "undocumented migrant worker". The last 2 days I have worked my buttocks off doing landscaping work.

Yesterday was spent working at my sister's house. Which is fine, as I need to earn my keep. I carried about 400 lbs of dirt to the back yard to fill in the craters that the dogs have dug. Apparently, they really, really want to become Chinese, because they are digging like they're on a mission. I also raked an obscene amount of leaves/composted leaves from the backyard. My sister, the slave-driver that she is, wouldn't let me take a break, even for water. Beoooooooch. Just kidding Kewa. I also vacuumed the house, and other assorted odd jobs.

Today, I unloaded 2 pick-up truckloads of dirt into my parents backyard. Let me just say, that it is not exactly easy work. I also managed to plant a very large number of plants. I'm freaking exhausted. I called my agent, to see if she had anywork for me tomorrow, and "No" was the answer. So, I'll be working my buttocks off again tomorrow in my parents backyard, unloading another 2-3 truckloads of dirt, and planting another 100 or so plants. Fun times.

Keep on keepin' on.
