Life with Boogie & Squeaks

I got home from the mechanic & ate a lunch of Squeaks' leftover banh mi, spicy waffle fries & leftover iced french press coffee. Then I crashed hard for 2 hours. I woke up but didn't get out of bed for another hour. I was exhausted deep in my soul. I feel like it happens every other week at this job.

Anyway! I vacuumed the car & got a carwash, then got a few groceries. I decided to swing by a garden place on the way home to see if I could find any good clearance plants. I got 2 plants but they were not in the clearance section. But I haven't bought any plants this year, so I treated myself, in celebration of finally getting my brakes fixed. I will not lie -- I almost cried a few times when I felt what a normal brake feels like. It's making me tear up now, actually. What a huge weight off my shoulders. I can drive over 40 mph -- which means I can use the highway safely again! (Even though I probably won't much anyway.)

After planting my new plants, I watered everything really well. Before going in, I organized more plant pots & got rid of some things. Then I put everything that needs to go to the dump outside of the garage. I put a bunch of pruning/weeding piles in the compost bin & planted perennial flower seeds that were all over the place in jars. Then I watered the back really well, too.

This is why I decided to gamble on this shop. They're good, local people that used to all work together at different chain shops. Then they decided to open their own together. Isn't that cool?
