this is the shirt i wore last week while i was pulling weeds in a neighbor’s yard. it took me an hour and a half. i made $15.

i like yard work. i have a pick, a pitchfork, an overactive imagination, and dumpsters from waste management. they sell yard debris to full circle compost in reno.

the weeds behind his house are enormous. the dumpsters are 28"x28"x46". i filled up two dumpsters.

isn’t this fascinating?

in an hour and a half i made as much money as i do in a month on medium. i burned more calories and i got some vitamin D from the hot, summer sun.

before i went to my other job (as a housekeeper) where i make $20-$65 an hour depending on the account, i read Carlo Zeno’s post:

$1 for “toodles”. i guess everyone was happy i’m leaving (for a month or longer.)
