Well, MORE proof, actually. But it is the topper.
My 68 year old landlady with congestive heart failure is outside mowing the "lawn" with her gas-powered mower. The grass that is growing in front of the house I rent but is not really my front yard (although I call it that), it's more access to the rest of the property on the other side of this house. Her younger brother usually comes on Sundays to do yard work, but he's been really iffy for the last three months. So SHE is mowing it.
The issue is not that I don't have a lawn mower nor that it's the land-lady's responsibility to maintain the property except for my back yard, the issue is that I am still in my robe, at my computer. I took care of filling feeders and checking waterers some time ago, but came back inside to plop my butt in front of the computer and watch TV. See, I CAN multi-task, sitting on my butt.
I am eleven years younger than my land-lady. She puts me to shame regularly, although I do drag her three HUGE trash containers to the curb and back again each week for garbage pick-up. Sometimes I remember to drag mine out there, too, but it's a whole lot further to drag 'em, so maybe every other week I get my trash picked up.
What a slug. Oh well, I do pay rent... she said, hoping that counts for something.
