Russ Must Be Management

There was no rest at our house for Labor Day. Russ and I went to Home Depot three times this weekend. I was there mostly to pick things out for Russ to work on. It started with my noticing that mulch was on a giant sale of five bags for $10. We started with ten. When I say we, that means I picked the number and Russ did all the rest.  
Once Russ put down the ten bags he was not satisfied that he had covered the area he wanted. Back to Home Depot for ten more bags. While we were there he got new USB outlets for my sewing room and some feet to attach to wood blocks he was fabricating to make my cutting desk standing height. He was doing quite a good job to trick out that room.

While I cooked all day he was spreading the next ten bags, changing sockets, making risers and he also did two loads of laundry, usually my job. Russ interrupted my chicken production to have me come out and advise the mulch placement. It all looked great to me, but he was still not satisfied, so back to Home Depot for five more bags. Here is the thing about mulch, you can never have too much. Maybe that is why mulch is just much with an “l” in the middle.
It was well after five when Russ finally finished the many jobs he had worked on today. It was good timing because that was when I was finishing up the great clean up from a day of cooking. So much for “Labor Day.” I guess if you are management you never can take a day off. I must say I am one lucky woman that I married such a handy guy.
