time to get to work, distract myself. you know?
I have this patio, it's really private, it's 17' x 20' surrounded by a 6.5 foot brick wall. last year I got flagstone and dug up half of it and made a flagstone patio. but those brick walls are fucking ugly, and they heat up, so I was going to buy some trellises to cover them and get some cool plants to grow on that wall. I already have a jasmine plant that really needs to go into the ground that would be perfect. so today Mom and I drive up to Lowes to buy the trellises. all they had were either really cheap shit that wouldn't last the summer, or really expensive small ones. the one I liked was 2'x4' and cost $23. I have 25' of wall to cover... no way I'm going to buy enough trellis, I sure as shit can't afford it. so I bought cedar fencing boards 5/8" x 6" x 6' at $1.59 a board, and decided to cut them into half inch strips. only problem, I don't have a table saw. so this is the solution I came up with. took my work bench and a circular saw, clamped the saw upside down in the bench, and used clamps to make a fence with one of the boards... works like a fucking charm! see

I'm hanging in there, man. I've forced myself off of the ibuprofen, plus I've been off prednisone for about a month now and haven't had any alcohol in that time, either. I'm trying to give my liver a break, and it was getting so that the ibuprofen was less effective as I'd built up a resistance. I've had a hard time maintaining my level of physical activity with the increased pain and joint inflammation, but that just means I have to dig a little deeper, work a little harder. Wah, yadda yadda.
