Wish list

I want a trowel with a grip that doesn't become slick when it gets muddy, so that I'm not having to rinse off both it and my hand every few minutes to keep it from trying to twist out of my hand like a live thing.

I want a trowel where I can push down on it like sinking a shovel, without straining my hand because I'm gripping it at right angles to the force I'm applying.

I want a shovel with a narrow, 18" long blade, so that I can dig trenches without "losing" the top portion of the shovel below ground level, where my foot can't push down to sink it further. It's really hard to dig an 8" trench deeper than 1' with a trenching shovel.

Oh, and I want a pony.

I guess that explains a few things.

Remember all those detox reactions I was having over the last year and a half, while my weight fluctuated because of exercise/not eating/stress?

Huh.

The classrooms aren't cleaned with it, so I didn't expect the computer labs to be any different.

...



On the bright side, maybe now I won't keep getting random "detox reactions" anymore.
