So tired. Exhausted. This is ridiculous. Felt like I was going to burst into tears all day. Wanted to go fencing, no chance at all I was going to make it out there and not snap at people (granted, I've been told that me cranky is like anyone else having a normal day, but let's not push things...), and was going to be useless with a sword anyway.

Good weekend at work, kept busy, sold lotsa plants and stuff. Worked all day Saturday (11 hours), all day Sunday (10 hours), and all day Monday (only 8 hours, thank goodness) So glad we closed up a few hours early yesterday; I wouldn't have made it till 6:30 (those doing the math will see that I've got nearly 30 hours in already, and I still have three days left in the work week. AAAAAHHH). Need... sleep... can't go to bed yet... is only 8:45... Have to get dishes washed... blaaaaaaahhhh.

Up early again today (slept through the alarm...) to get J to the orthopedist (was on time, but barely) and get the pins pulled out of his thumb. Icky. But over quickly. The tinfoil fingernail is now gone as well, and it looks like the actual nail has started to come back! Yay! His cast has now been turned into a splint, so he's allowed to (gently) move his hand. Two more weeks with the splint, and things should be healed and he can start doing things normally (like driving. His car.) again...

I can finally get some sleep tomorrow morning, don't have to go anywhere or do anything till 11:00 when I get into work... same Thursday. Thursday night my brother is coming up to visit, and then we're headed to Bangor on Friday (possibly by way of Boothbay, maybe hit that on Saturday, to see the new Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. I really, really need to make it up there this year... Am bringing the Camera of Awesomeness.) to deliver a shiny new computer to a friend of mine. Not getting up any earlier than necessary, let me tell you...

yay healing

professional question...
What are my options for rugged screening bushes by the road that will get 6' tall or more ?

making me think about work already... ;)

Looking for evergreens, I assume? If you have deer, your options are somewhat more limited, as Arborvitae are right out... but that's a good one. Other options include Privet (ugh...), Yews (another that's not good if you have deer), Hemlock are excellent, deer resistant, and native. A bit spendy if you get the big ones to start with, though. Mountain Laurel is beautiful, takes a bit to get to 6' tall, though. Same with Rhodies.

Lilac, Forsythia, Rose of Sharon are some deciduous options; they all bloom, but drop their leaves in the winter time... not sure if you care about that.
