It had been my intention to work tomorrow and get some extra time in. Yesterday and today I was given the opportunity to leave early and I took it. Saturday Keziah and I have our first in-person SCA event in over a year because of the pandemic. Since extra work is an option, I decided to be awake for the event and not tired from working the day before. Tomorrow is payday and it appears the money is in the bank. Yay! Other things I am happy for today:
- Special thanks to Reader --K who suggested spreading the crushed pepper to help discourage the woodchucks/groundhogs. I don't know if it has worked yet, but I feel good having taken this action.
- To test the pepper, I planted two more of the zinnia plants. They are getting very root bound so need to be planted somewhere. If they survive the night, I might plant a few more tomorrow.

| And so the ground is sprinkled with red pepper confetti. |
- It has only been since last weekend, but it feels much longer, since I sat down with the family for dinner. Zed cooked up some salmon and it came out perfectly! Every once in a while it is okay not to sleep, right?

Thanks for reading, stay safe.
I just realized/remembered that the photo accompanying my profile here is our resident groundhog from a few years back and the irony of giving groundhog deterrence advice while displaying a photo of said groundhog happily foraging in my yard is making me giggle. 😁
