Then I went to do some cleaning and needed to change the vacuum cleaner bag and discovered that the hose that connects the bag to the vacuum had a big crack in it. (I took this picture to e-mail to Brian.)
Then I went outside to pick up a paper from the driveway and noticed that our lawn wasn't looking so great. (It really needs to be mowed, but rainy weather the last couple of weekends has prevented that.) I saw that most of the grass in the front looks like this:
A little research on-line led to the conclusion that this is most likely "Gray Leaf Spot," a common disease in St. Augustine grass, but it doesn't look like there is an easy treatment for "everyday" homeowners. (I need to try to research this more -- if anyone has dealt with this before, help!)
I printed a couple of things I found on Gray Leaf Spot disease, but can't read them because our printer toner is gone. What will be next?? :-)
I realize that these are relatively minor problems and most are easily fixed, so I shouldn't be complaining. I feel bad when I "dump" all these problems on Brian. He's got so much else to worry about right now (work, real estate, plus my computer that just had the power supply go out, etc.). I try to do what I can to help, like researching stuff, but some things I just need his help with. I'm lucky to be married to a man of so many talents!
[Update]
Well, here's the next thing already... Did a load of laundry that included some fairly new jean capris that have been washed several times already. Turns out I shoudln't have washed them with some of my lighter colors (it was a smaller load today, so I threw all the colors together). Courtney's pink PJs now have a nice blue tint to them. (sigh...)
Today is certainly not turning out to be a very productive day (at least not as productive as I hoped).
