I'm currently pretty busy with finals, birthdays and working. I'll have to do more once life slows down a smidge.
On the upside, I'm wearing new socks. biggrin

New socks? Nice.
I don't usually study for anything at all, so I'm only putting in an hour or so a day for finals, total. But I am in the middle of my Eagle Service Project right now, so I'll be busy. I spent seven hours last night moving over four tons of gravel multiple times with the help of just two people, and that was just to get the majority of what we need on site. Today and Monday I need to actually oversee and assist getting the work itself done.

Ow. You had an extra 'w'.
I am most of the way done the project now, worked from eight AM until nine PM, and then had a tire blow on a trailer hauling excess pea gravel blow out on the side of a highway on the way back...
I finish it Monday, hopefully, but at any rate I'll be glad to never see that extra 1 and a half tons of pea gravel we didn't use again.

I hope it's over for you soon then. So is the gravel the size of a pea or something? xd

Roughly, but it's orange-ish. About 180 bags of it.
And then our bags of concrete, sand, and mulch luckily all are of lesser amount. We've filled in the old pond, and we've layed a cement path across to dry. Tomorrow we have to lay down soil and mulch on the rest of it, plant flowers, and then clean everything up.

I can't help but think it won't be very visually appealing.

It certainly sounds bad, but you won't even see anything but the soil, flowers, and sidewalk when we're done. I'm hoping it turns out alright.

I'm hoping you'd still be able to see the pool

No, we're filling it in. It's something like 14 feet long and 5 wide, 3 deep, I'm not sure how that translates to metric, but it was just an old fish pond. Only their liner broke and they couldn't manage keeping the water clean and flowing so it's been dried up for a long time now.

That would be roughly 4.5 meters long, 1.5 wide, and 1 deep.
In actuallity that is 4.26 meters long, got the width right, and .9 meters deep.

Can we deliver the baby? And I was wondering, if there's no vamps where aes and morgan come from- what about werewolves?

I must note to self that should I ever have the pleasure of meeting either Morgan or Pale to induce some form of pain upon them.
