I really needed this weekend.

bloodsong1Went to Glen Aubrey, checked out the property. I'm a leetle concerned about the power lines running through the back third of the 2.8 acres, as south is perpendicular to the lines and the road. There's an excavation company just down the street, I will have to ask them about feasibility of using a back hoe on that land before I decide.
I emailed Biotech trying to get more detailed information on cost breakdown. I got a very pleasant email back asking me to invest time in speaking to Mr. Reynolds, the founder, CEO & chief architect. Yeah, see, no. I don't have $250/hour just lying around to talk to him. I respect him, his company and his mission, but I can't afford the whole enchilada, so why can't you give me rough figures without $125 or $250 up front? I emailed what data I could back and asked if their standard Global model will fit those parameters. I don't expect much back except a repeat of money for time. Spare me the "I told you so's". They're not necessary and I WILL remove them!
By the time Cuteness and I got home, I was cramping and queasy, so I called it a day. SLB and Cuteness went to the lake house. I stayed home, went to bed early, got up late and enjoyed a somewhat luxurious day. I took a bath, I did all the laundry, I cleaned the litter box, I played Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility (which looks exactly like Animal Parade but the quest to Save the Harvest Goddess is slower and everything is named after food and you don't get stamina power-ups so you can seriously wear yourself out in four hours and if you're too poor to buy food, you have to go to bed.), I harvested lemon sorrel from the front flower bed and made a tea that tastes like weak lemonade with a hint of vegetable green flavor, and I worked outside for about half an hour moving dirt around by the bucket load and digging up more slabs of rock. SLB & Cuteness came home as I was taking a break, so I tidied up the yard waste I had dug out and went inside for a cooling shower. We spent the evening playing the Pirate D&D game and Cuteness was well entertained with my laptop and an exercise ball in the spare room.
I am still hot and tired. I'm trying not to think about Wedding in six days with some success. I'm going to drink the rest of the sorrel lemonade and go to bed.
