When I woke up this morning, my back was stiff. I think I need to get more exercise. Sitting at a desk all day is probably not the healthiest thing a person can do, but it sure beats raking asphalt.
I had a dream about some sort of road-trip that involved myself, a bunch of coworkers in some imaginary office building that I've never worked in before, and endless debates over luggage and sleeping arrangements. I remember thinking, "I don't give a crap who I have to sleep next to- I just want to get to sleep." When I finally crashed out on the floor of the ninetieth hotel room of the dream, I woke up and remembered that I had left the hose on last night.
A few weeks ago, I hit a sprinkler while mowing the lawn. It wasn't my fault, really- it just popped up and started sprinkling while I was mowing. We turned the sprinkler system off, but that quickly resulted in a brown lawn, as none of my roommates saw fit to water it. Every time I unroll the hose to practice some flood irrigation, my roommates always shut it off. They say it wastes water if there isn't a sprinkler attachment on the hose, but they've never worked construction. Furthermore, they never paid attention to how long the sprinklers actually ran when they were working.
So I unrolled the hose last night, after they were all asleep. When I woke up, I glanced out my bedroom window, expecting to see the street flooded by my idiocy. Fortunately, the lawn was incredibly thirsty, and not a drop of water made it past the sidewalk. Yeah. I win.
