Bob The Builder.

This week the construction has all been at our end of the street and in front of our house so I got a close-up of all the action and lots of good photos. They continue to dig trenches and lay pipes for the water and sewage. Buddy also hasn't had any more bleeding for the past few days and seems back to his usual happy self; eating well, tail wagging, etc. (he just has diarrhrea) and when he does eventually die it will be the worst day of my life and the other half of me will no longer walk this life by my side and there will no longer be anything left in my life worth living for anymore.

Here one scoop is passing dirt over to the shovel into another one, to be used to fill up a hole once the pipes have been laid.The 23 YR old also made a video spanning her life in a week and she was really sick every day during it; nauseated, barfing, really tired and having to nap and the first thing that came to my mind is she's prego! Those are classic pregnancy symptoms and I remember them well, so I wonder if she is or if she just had a virus? She got antibiotics though so if she is prego that could harm the baby, and if she is that would also be my first grandchild,too( which makes me feel really old!) but I just hope she wouldn't kill it, though, and that's actually one thing that would cause me to dis-own my kids: if they killed their own baby( or killed any baby or child) or if they were a pedophile or if they killed a sibling. There are just some things that are so unforgivable.

Here they are putting down big cement cylinder pipes, I assume for sewage? Yesterday my abdomenal pain was also soooo bad it felt like I was actually being stabbed in my lower back/right kidney area and also bad pain in my lower abdomen on the right side, deep inside, so my guess would be either kidney or appendix, and I'm excited to go to the CNE this month and being back in Toronto I feel like I can be Me again; I come out of my "shell", I "transform" ,blossom,and feel 'free" and like the Old Me,how I used to be when I was younger, before life broke me.I feel like a whole new person.

Digging up our driveway and maybe if we're lucky they'll dig up the entire thing and we'll get a brand-new one? Today they're moved on after being in front of our house all week and now they're digging their trench next-door.

Deeper digging and when they get waaay down the men also dig by hand( despite the machines) and axes too which I found surprising, given all the modern machinery and I figured out as well the guys wearing the white hard hats are the bosses and the others wearing the blue ones are the workers.

Laying down more pipes, and it makes me wonder too with the recent increased wildfires, earthquakes, droughts, floods, etc. if they might be modern-day plagues that God is sending upon mankind to punish us for disobedience and sin, or perhaps also signs we're living in the Last Days with increased and unusual natural disasters and extreme weather? Climate change and Global warming, my ass!

Check this out! Look at the cool-looking holes this machine made when it went over  the filled-in holes! The work crew remind me of kids at the beach or playing in a sandbox; spending all day digging holes and then filling them back up again, over and over again.

After the deep trench has been filled now then they flattened it and they also used this thing that resembled a jackhammer only it had a flat square at the bottom. it was loud and shook and vibrated and sounded like a helicopter.

All of the machines are working together and watching the work is like an episode of Bob The Builder. The other day I also got fries from McDonald's  and they forgot to put salt on them, so they were gross! Some idiot killed my fries! Why do I always end up with all the rejects all the time? I swear, I have the worst "luck" ever! They also said on the news this shithole has a shortage of hospital epidural catheters( used for pain relief in labour and for surgery below the waist) and Tylenol over the counter too, just like a half-assed Third-World country!

The trench originally went almost all the way around our house so if you added water we'd have a moat! They also replaced the fire hydrant we used to have right in front of our house( with a sticker with the 19 YR old's name on it she put there years ago; she'll have to put a new one on the new hydrant when she visits next week, I guess, ha, ha) and now moved it to the side of the house.

I'm not bothered at all by the loud construction noise as I had 11 kids and the kids were much louder and the construction noise is nothing  compared to what I'm used to, and I like how the machines can swivel back and forth,too,and think it's just so cool and some have treads like tanks(like the one here) as well and they rumble and squeak as they go by and it vibrates and shakes the entire veranda floor and most people don't get this close to a construction site normally but I get a front row seat every day.

Putting in cement pipes.I'm wearing my fave. lounging at-home clothes,too(I refer to as my Crappy Clothes): a black T-shirt that used to say Florida on the front but it all wore off from usage and washing and has a rip on the left sleeve, and a pair of grey cotton shorts that actually used to be a pair of old discarded Boxer shorts one of the boys tossed out. It's the most comfortbale thing!

The 24YR old was also supposed to go skydiving but it got cancelled(thank God!) due to weather, and the oldest has gone a few times and it scares the shit out of me and that's why I'm glad that I don't know half of the things the kids do now as adults, or at least not until after they've already done them, so I know they're safe.

I think working the excavator looks like it would be the most fun job, and it reminds me of a big old dinosaur,too, with the long neck and by the way it moves.It's the excavaraptor!
