BACKYARD WORK HAS STARTED/KIM SICK AGAIN

I'll start off with Kim. Danny said this morning when Kim got home from work last night she wasn't feeling well, nascea, not hungry, so she just slept. She went to work this morning and ended up being sent home. She said she couldn't hold anything down and was freezing cold, oh know the flu. I told her to take some asperin and go to bed and get rest and drink water. Dave ended up taking Kim to the doctor's because she had a fever and the doctor wanted to see her. 101.8 fever is what he was worried about so he told her to take asperin, get rest and drink plenty of water, I think that's what I told her too. He did give her a prescription for anti-neausea medicine, which I couldn't do. The doctor said no work tomorrow, she has Thursday thru Sunday off then next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday is the last work days then it's disability time.
Enough about Kim. :)

Sunday we started on the backyard, digging trenches, so we can put new sprinklers in.
When Kim and Danny got back from church Danny changed clothes and started in helping us. It ended with Danny and I digging and Dave putting the sprinklers together, so he was working in the patio and we were out in the sun. Later in the afternoon Dave started putting the sprinklers in the ground and Danny and I were by the patio. As we are digging, keep in mind, we keep running into the old white sprinklers that are already in the ground. There was this one old sprinkler pipe that was in our way so Danny ask Dave if we are going to use any of the old stuff, and Dave said "no". So Danny went and got the sprinkler cutters from Dave to get this pipe out of our way. Danny is having a hard time cutting it, but there was "NO WAY IT WAS GOING TO BEAT HIM" so after a little while Danny won and cut right thru that thing. The next thing I know Danny is cussing, which he never does, even the "F" word was used. He had just cut thru the cable for the computers and TV, when Brighthouse was out about 3 weeks ago, when the gardener cut thru the cable, when they fixed the cable they put part of the wiring thru a sprinkler line, so that's why we thought it was an old sprinkler line. I looked in the house and luckily Kim was a sleep, so she didn't know the TV wasn't working. We called Dave over to see if he could fix it, which he said he would try but he had to drive back to the coach to get the cable splicers, or something like that. Do you know he made it back from the coach and fixed the cable before Kim ever woke up, boy that was close. Danny asked me not to mention this is the blog, but you know me, miss big mouth.
Kim and Danny went out Sunday night and purchased a Wii, they liked ours so much, plus Danny was afraid we would get to good at it and he can't stand losing.

Monday we went back early to Kim's for more trench digging, I think every part of my body is sore. We worked until 3pm then that was it. Although I did make it to the gym on Monday night to workout on the treadmill.

Tuesday we arrived early again, all trenches finished now, a lot of the sprinklers put in or measured out so us lucky people can go again early tomorrow and finish the sprinklers. You would die laughing if you could hear us turning over in bed at night, the screams of every part of the body hurting.
