“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 743 (Tuesday) – holes and glasses

Mysterious yard holes.
The March winds have been howling. The windows were rattling, and when I let Winston outside the 57 times he wanted to go out, it was a bit blustery. One of those times, I walked into the back yard with him and noticed that the holes that had appeared in the fall have multiplied. Whatever is making them has been very busy and the yard looks perforated. 

This morning, the topmost level of the three-tiered corner fence cap was laying in the yard, and now half the front post caps are on the injured list. It wasn’t as battered as the cap that was ripped off by the trash bin, and it also wasn’t laying in the yard yesterday morning. I’m not 100% convinced it was the wind that knocked it off. My primary suspects are the neighborhoodlums who hang their sweatshirts on the fence while playing basketball in the street and they aren't very good, so the ball crashes into the fence, cars, and even the house. But there is no proof, just my perpetual annoyance.

More new glasses!
The pace at work has been frenetic. It feels like there are ten times more projects in process now than ever before and I can feel my edges fraying. And thanks to my new glasses that were ordered last week and arrived today, I can see those same edges fraying.

The fun part of the new glasses is, the champagne color (listed in the product description as light brown) changes in the sun to a purplish gray (listed as gray in the product details). This could be fun and confusing. For other people, not me. I’ll be behind the frames and won’t even see the magic happen. This means that until the novelty wears off, I’ll likely be standing with glasses in hand, moving them in and out of sun and shade, watching for something to happen.
