I am not feeling well today. My throat hurts and I’m drowsy from the over medication I did to myself. Normally my allergies aren’t that bad, but yesterday I hurt myself.
Yesterday, I finally got the parts to fix my lawn mower (I ran over a brick that my neighbor’s dog pushed under the fence trying to get into my yard (she has a crush on Buddy)), and a battery charger (my lawn mower had been broken so long that I thought the battery might have died (it had)). Once the mower was repaired, I decided to cut as much of the lawn as possible before the sun set. I figured I would be able to get most of the yard. Boy was I wrong. What I didn’t take into account was that I hadn’t cut the grass (weeds) in a few weeks. My lawn was high. To give you an example of how high; when my dogs would lie down in the grass, I would lose them.
It took me all the time just to get the front cut (and I still need to cut it again to get it lower). Because it was high the grass (weeds) had a lot of pollen. So, by the time I stopped mowing I had a sore throat, watery eyes, breathing trouble and the general feeling of blah. And, because I’m not a doctor I don’t always medicate myself well. I took to much allergy medicine (with beer), and now I a little bit out of it.
Allergies suck.

Yes, allergies do suck. Luckily I am not plagued with them, but 13 yr old is.
Running over a brick is bad, but not as bad as shredding the newspaper. It is so much easier to pick up beforehand.
I disagree. If you run over a newspaper you can spend an hour picking it up and $1.50 for a new paper.
If you run over a brick you spend over $70 on parts and 3 hours getting the parts and fixing the lawn mower. And, your lawn mower won't be broken for weeks, so your grass won't be knee high.
OK, you got me.
