What's the plan when your new patio is too hot to use without any shade? Seems kinda backwards to trade living trees for a concrete slab that cooks in the sun. Real smart way to get more outside time.

That bit about a "reliable spot" making things less stressful is so true. I read something about how just knowing your workspace is sorted cuts down on a ton of background worry. It frees up mental space to actually focus on the task.

Tell me what exactly happened during this routine betrayal. Was it a back spasm while picking up a pen, or did your ankle buckle on a flat floor? My shoulder once popped out while I was putting on a jacket, which felt overly dramatic. What specific part called it quits?
