Hey noodle what did you do today?

Well I woke up at 9:40 'cause dad and I were supposed to go pick up Phil and go to his coworker's place for some construction-grade insulation panels, but when I woke up I saw I missed a call from dad. Turns out the coworker and his whole family was stricken with the flu, so we decided to waylay that journey.

I went back to sleep and rested until about 11ish. When I woke up I had a plate of spaghet, then used the bathroom. During this time mum was cleaning dad's truck, and when I finished she and I went down to the area we store the logs and piled the loose bricks/rocks onto a pallet. Many of the bricks were things I'd gotten from LBL because I wanted to try metal working and wanted them to build the basis of a forge, but now they're just kinda lying around. When we finished I had to go bathroom again (I am starting to suspect I have IBS) which gave dad a chance to change the fuel pump in the Polaris.

When I finished I grabbed a glass of water and mum and I drove up to the houseboat. The fire had burnt itself into smoldering embers, which we periodically threw scrap wood on. However most of what we did was replant some cedar trees from the back of the property to the front, since the night before we realized the storage facility causes severe echoes. Dad would use the tractor to dig up one of the trees, then I'd lift it from the bucket and put it in the back of the Polaris. When we had 5 of them mum and I drove over to the road, and while dad dug holes, I'd put one of the trees in the hole and we'd cover it with dirt. After the 5 were planted we went back home to take some of the supplies and to get the pruners, then returned. Dad cut some of the branches and I threw them on the fire, and he also cut a smol sapling that was growing near the base of one of those cedars...And you know, throwing that in the fire really put me in a sad mood. I watched that smol tree catch on fire, and I realized that sometimes the underdog doesn't win...That the big and strong come out on top, and that there's nothing fair. Mum and dad chatted with a guy who they knew from 20 years back (He visited Southern Komfort on a smol trip to reminisce, and dad filled him in on what had happened since), and after he left we headed back to the house.

When we got there I put the shovels/rake away and went inside. After goobing off online for a bit I grabbed a shower, then nodded off a bit. I woke up around 6:30 and went upstairs, and mum and dad were getting ready to head to Carol's for a night of cards. I was invited to stay upstairs while they left, which was fortunate since I needed some dinner. I brought my computer upstairs and made a 4-cheese pizza. I ate half of it, then ate 3 of those icing cookies and then had some of those spicy Grippo chips. I spent some time doodling and chatting with frands and goobing off online and playing KoL, then around 11:30 mum and dad came back home while I was using the bathroom. When I got out mum stumbled inside and had trouble getting over the dog-gate into her room, letting me know it was best to steer clear of her since she was drunk af.

Instead I headed downstairs, where I spent a bit of time goobing off and chatting with frands and watching a docu about Jesus's tomb and doing a bit of typing. I even did a bit of editing and wound up finishing the second edit of 'Our Family's Cabin'! Yey! One more! I wound up heading to bed around 3:30.

I hope everyone has a cedar-replanting day! <333
