Tan lines

I’ve spent the last couple of days house sitting for some friends. It’s a sweet gig: cable TV, stocked fridge, cuddle puppy. What I wasn’t expecting during this house sitting job, however, was the prospect of doing actual work. I didn’t know that my friends had built a home with the intent of building a jungle in Georgia. Every day I have to water a couple dozen houseplants. Then I get to water the entire back yard which has conveniently been transformed into a garden oasis. And next week, I get to mow the lawn... seriously? I guess I shouldn’t complain. I could be paying rent or living on someone’s couch. And in the pass three days I’ve gotten more sun than I have in years. Now I just need to find out how to word “can watch a dog and take care of plants good” in a way that will bulk up my resume.
