I just paid my gardener

And he should be working on my front and back yards right about now while my dog is in the house whining and smacking his paws against the closed patio door in an attempt to run outside and greet the hired help.

My front yard better look decent when I get home from work. Otherwise, I would be pretty pissed off after shelling out $700 yesterday for my gardener to start working today. I'm already feeling the tight squeeze in my wallet. Being poor and indebt is no fun.

But the sooner the work is completed, the better.
