the last laugh

Working from home has its ups and downs. Okay, really a lot more ups than downs.

Having a spouse who also works from home can present challenges. Or it can be amusing. Today it's amusing. Bill was out this morning and came home at noon. He is presently sitting in his office, laughing at whatever he's listening to. It's amusing to me, because (since I have no idea what it is he's listening to) it is out of context and is happening in random small bursts.

Then there's the lawn mowing, weed-wacking, leaf blowing (what leaves?) neighbors. The house behind us had the lawn service out again. I'm sure it's more convenient to them to use riding lawn mowers, but really? I hope they charge a lot for all the gas they waste riding around a postage stamp sized lot (say that five times fast). The small lot is only an attribute for those of us who have grass. The person behind us feeds the birds. Therefore it is dirt and random seeds, no grass. I'm pretty sure I could go out there and cut it faster with a pair of scissors.

Oh well, to each their own. And don't forget to love your neighbor, however they choose to care for their lawn.
