The World According to Gio

I just accidentally drowned the phone in the pool while I was talking to my Dad and trying to do some pool maintenance at the same time.

I apologize for single-handledly making your flist move today in advance, but I have a couple of very important announcements:

• Lacking adequate supervision today, I am using power tools¹
  
• Where did I find power tools, you ask? Well, for my 5-year anniversary at the job, I ordered them as my token of appreciation. I was going to get the BBQ smoker, but then I put on 20 closet doors with a regular screwdriver and had to keep on calling cutenyeboi to come to my rescue with drill bits, so I caved and got a very nice, ladylike kit.
  
• I'm tentatively claiming the evening of July 3rd for the housewarming/pool party--mark your calendars, more details soon
  
• Various neuroses are manifesting. For instance, I made us eat all the nice portion-sized leftover meals from the deep freeze before we moved, and I now have to cook like a crazy woman because there are no food stores in the house and my psyche can't cope with this state of affairs.
  
• Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb! Rhubarb season has started! There will be rhubarb & peach crumble at some point this evening

Now off to put some art on the walls!


¹Usually someone takes tools away before I can do damage to myself. In fact, since the incident in which I lost about 50% of the use of my right hand², people get nervous when I pick up a utility knife. And we shall not talk about how I almost stabbed myself in the throat with a Phillips screwdriver about two weeks ago...
²It's fine, I'm left-handed, and I did learn how to type about 60 words/minute using one hand. It's like a circus act. People come from all over the place to see it.
