fully domesticated...almost

i just mowed the lawn! both of them!!

the day the movers came to bring us our stuff was a hectic one. at one point, i was in the kitchen unpacking a dishes box when this random man appears in my garage doorway (the one entering my house, not just the garage door). it scared the crap out of me, so i yelled for dave. dave met the guy quickly in the hallway, turns out he was the gardener. well, he didn't wait for an invitation, and i'm sure due to the frightened sound that came out of my mouth, lucca decided to nip the guy. got him on the calf. dave wrangled lucca and took him upstairs to lock him up while i took the guy out back. he pulled up his pant leg at one point - there was a purple circle about the size of a quarter on his leg. zero broken skin. zero blood whatsoever. dave came back out, offered to send the guy to the ER but he declined. asshole.

needless to say, this guy's mowing guys came to our house once. they've not been back. they've not billed us. so either that one mow was free, or we're due to be served with legal paperwork anytime now. which would be assinine. the dude essentially trespassed onto our property, came in without invitation and was very, alarmingly forward. for all i knew he was the grim reaper. minus the cape and fancy hat.

so today i mowed!! both lawns. then swept the driveway and walkway. then sprayed the weeds with weed killer. and then proceeded to burn 3 fingers on the mower. eh well. almost made it out unscathed...
