The difficulties of yard work......

[wonderful__mess]

So it all started when my mom asked if I could help her outside with a few things around the house. Because I am filthy and am craving a shower, I will keep this short and to the point. I have three massive blisters that split a few minutes ago, leaking blister juice down my hands. I am sunburnt, dehydrated, I almost fell off of a rickety ladder

Today I was priming a canvas outside because the paint dries faster that way and a huge gust of wind came and blew about 7 wormy grub type bugs from the sky (I don't know where else they could have come from) onto my canvas, where they writhed until they were covered completely in black paint. It was gross. I found another bunch of worms in some canvas I had taken outside. I also had a blanket out there that I sometimes sleep with in bed so I had to air that out and won't be using it for a long time as the thought of worms in my bed terrifies me beyond all belief.

Never, never ever, attempt any yard work without a good pair of work gloves. Gloves kick ass.

'Course, that doesn't help much with the insect armada or the flashbang plugged into your lightsocket, but it does keep your hands pretty. You know, I hear you can hire people to do your yardwork for you, in this crazy modern age of ours. Not a bad idea if your yard is booby trapped.
