Well, that was unexpected

whiski_sourMimzie dropped by today with the Hobbit. She left her here for a couple hours while she went out and dicked around or something. So, I got to play with Hobbit (or Teagie-Sean as Mummy calls her *grumbles*) for awhile. I'm not exactly sure what my Funshine Carebear was doing, but it was highly amusing to her.
Anyway, Mimzie came back, stole one of my shirts, talked a bit, and left.
Dad's been working on shelves for my room. He also informed me that probably sometime in the next month or so, if the weather is nice enough, we'll be doing a roofing project for my grandparents. I'm gonna start taking bets now on which one of us breaks something first.
Roofing is a dying tradition in my family. Most everyone's too lazy or too old to do it anymore. Roofing, laying carpet, laying brick, destroying buildings, adding on to buildings, hanging drywall, clearing lots, hauling dead dogs, working on cars...that's my blood, man. We don't pay people to do shit for us if we don't have to. Back in the day when Papa and Uncle Benny were younger and Uncle Junior was alive, the three of them could tackle any job you'd like and have it done for you in no time.
Now, I don't think there's maybe two or three of Dad's cousins that'd do it. It's either beneath them or they were never taught to do it or they're too lazy to do it.
So, I suppose it's up to me to keep up the tradition.
*shakes head* At the very least I'll get a good story out of it. And, I'll be able to patch roofs for all my friends.
Of course those are all heavily dependant on the fact that I don't die falling off the roof to begin with.
