• The day after I accidentally gave away the scooter. 
• The day the slacker landscaper didn’t show up, so I had to mow and weed wack a front and backyard by myself
• The day I bought a new fabulous amazing weed wacker after spending 2 hours using a faulty tool

• The day I bought a weed wacker and the first thing I wacked was the back of my leg (Be careful out there folks)

• The day I didn’t wear thick enough gloves to weed wack a jungle
• The day — did I mention this already? — I weed wacked A LOT

• The day I weed wacked a backyard after paying two men to haul away a ton of nonsense, only to find a pile of new nonsense under the weeds — including, I kid you not, an actual sink. So when I say I found everything including the kitchen sink? Well. Don’t call me exaggeratory.

• The day I refused to give up. Landscaper doesn’t show? Fine. Weed wacker doesn’t work? FINE. GET OUT OF MY WAY MESSY YARD.
• The day I learned how completely cathartic weed wacking is.
