TTK Ciar's Journal: Eating fruit

This journal entry was originally titled "Getting bought and eating fruit" because I wanted to talk a little about Discovery Mining (the small datamining company which has employed me these past few months) getting purchased by Interwoven. But I kept writing paragraphs and deleting them, keeping in mind the scary documents they made me sign which, paraphrased, read "don't you say nuthin' about nuthin'". I'll just vaguely mention that it seems to be a good thing, and people are generally happy about it, and I'm not getting rich from the transaction. My responsibilities and compensation have remained about the same. Now, onward to something which I can say something about: The House!

Cobalt and I just got back from doing some yardwork on the new property, hacking off dead tree limbs and resalting the water softener and putting together some furniture, that sort of thing. It wasn't all work, however. We also wandered around the property, looking at things and grazing on random things we found growing on trees and bushes. We found plums ready to be picked and eaten, and some apples, and more blackberry berries than you can shake a stick at. I commented to her that if the world ended we could just hide there and eat berries for the rest of our lives. There's really more fruit there than the two of us can possibly eat. I think my co-workers will be getting more than just free eggs! There was also a pear tree, but none of its pears were even close to ripe.

The contractor has been doing really good work. We have a totally redone electrical system now, and new raised redwood decks in the front and back, and various other things the house was sorely needing. We were discussing today how much of the painting we wanted him to do, and how much we would do ourselves. We purchased about eight gallons of paint at Kelly Moore (of various colors) and unloaded them when we were there to work on the grounds. I have many, many pictures of the place, but haven't gotten them online because I haven't had the time to write captions for them. I like to do that, but maybe getting them up is more important than captioning them. I'll update here when they're up.

This has been a rather boring journal entry. It is boring because I am extremely tired, but wanted to get something into my journal, but most of the interesting things in my life right now I cannot talk about. Perhaps the next entry will be more interesting.
