The Trench

I slept a full eight hours, but struggled to get out of bed this morning. I went through my pre-work routine in a hunched over stupor. I've grown accustomed to sleeping so little, my body can't make out what to do with a healthy dose of rest. I wonder how it would respond to another eight hours of shuteye tonight.

I took this photo Saturday afternoon. Since I was actually home during daylight hours, it seemed like a good time to do some yard work. The goal was simple: get water to the backyard, which meant connecting two existing pipes. One end was a feeder pipe near the front fence. The other end was a pipe running beneath the recently installed patio. Armed with a borrowed pickaxe, I diligently dug between the fixed points and put down some pipe. As you can see, the trench turned out nice and straight, for the most part. Eventually, the patio will wrap around this side of the house and end at the air conditioner.
