Mower getting serviced, new blades & a power wash tomorrow. I got lucky ... just contacted the guy tonight, coming tomorrow. His schedule is usually slammed - must have had a cancellation.

Been a weird day - spilled a very large container of laundry detergent on the floor. ALL of it was out of the bottle & it was at least half full. Of course, it seeped under two throw rugs that were close by. I also stepped in it before I realized what had happened. It was a real rodeo to get it cleaned up - I don’t recommend spilling laundry detergent, especially not in any quantity.

A few other “incidents” occurred during the day and the chicken tractor “discussion” I tried to have didn’t go well either.

So ... decided to put on hold the 3 plumbing projects I had lined up ... I can only imagine what might have happened if I’d tried to do some plumbing. A vision of water geysers comes to mind.

I believe the saying is “a better day is only a day away” ... looking forward to seeing the mower guy tomorrow ... tomorrow! h/t Little Orphan Annie.

LOL! Score on the mower guy! I gotta get my ‘mower guy’ on it, too! She desperately needs an oil change, sharpened blades and some fresh gas after a winter in the barn.

Laundry soap is the worst!

I once dumped a FULL bag of dog kibble - was still finding that ‘under & in stuff’ a year later!

Another good one is dropping an egg. Have done that between the stove and the countertop, as well as into the door cracks of my freezer drawer when I had a bottom, slide out freezer.

Yeah. Making messes is SO much fun to clean up - even when you make them yourself. NOT!
