ScottsGT Posted March 27 Posted March 27 At least for us down south. Springs here and the wife feels that she needs to generate another “to-do” list to keep me busy. Of course pollen is in full bloom and everything is a haze looking through it. Wearing a mask this time of the year is one thing the covid days taught me. Me: Find project, figure it out in my head, run to Slow’s, Home Depression or local hardware store. Grab what I need and get home to knock out project. Or even faster, sit down in the evening and order online and knock out that project when it arrives. Wife: “Oh, I want to put pavers down where the grandkids sandbox is at. I want to go with you to Home Depot. She looks at pavers, trying to find the cheapest way of getting it done and she’s guesstimating on sq ft of the area. Has no idea she’s looking at a $1000 project until I do the math for her. This alone took about an hour trying to convince her she actually needed two pallets of pavers. We leave with her brain cooking that one for a few days. ”Oh, swing into the grocery store. I need a few things.” ”Oh, let’s grab lunch since we’re out.” “I bought flowers for the neighbor that just has surgery. Let’s take them to her.” So a “quick” trip to grab something I ordered started when we left home just after 9am and ended when we got home after 3 pm. 🤪. And she wonders why I “never get anything done.” Something told me to make the run to Home Depot on Tuesday while she was at work. Oh, and here’s the good part. HD told me my order was two boxes. It was a 12’ X 10’ awning system. Got home and box #2 was someone else’s order. Now this afternoon I have to drive the 25 miles back to HD and return someone’s closet door system. 1 7
