yes. ^that.

not a heap....

let the dogs out (grudgingly, they hate the rain)

went to the gym

came home and dug out my recipe books

went to the store for groceries

started dinner

got another workout in

folded some laundry and washed another load to dry....

That's about it....quiet day....

Got up EARLY on a day off, went to help a friend do some heavy labor on his newly purchased rehab home.

spent 1 hour trimming back a WAY overgrown red-leaf barberry bush.

bled from said barberry

dug a 5 foot by 8 foot by 2 foot drainage ditch, hauled the dirt away

hauled gravel to fill it back in, filled in and leveled.

Placed paving stones over the gravel

mowed

dug up an overgrown flower bed

all that and I managed NOT to be the guy that stepped on the rusted nail


Home now and freshly showered, looking forward to the supper my roomie is cooking!


Tomorrow? pj's ... all day long! :D

I made a much requested lemon maregue (sp) pie...it is good.

what I accomplished today ... will most likely make me BEG for pain relief tomorrow .
to say I overdid it is an understatement ...
but the chickens are happy with their new home made from recycled swing sets, repurposed 10x10x6 dog cage panels, 1 repurposed dog cage gate...recycled heavy duty steal wire warehouse rack dividers (say that 5 times fast) to make sure chickies can't squeeze thru spaces in cage panels, recycled sheets of aluminum siding for shade and weather protection on the side, recycled smaller panels of aluminum window awnings for the roof, YARDS AND YARDS of recycled "hot wire " used to wire everything together and make sure no coyotes can get in ...and no chickies can get out....2 reused 1"x6"x10' boards to "slap hammer " the bottom of the chicken wire to...and several feet of regular chicken wire to fill in little gaps on the end caps...this all made an engineering NIGHTMARE, UGLY chicken hutch...
but all 12 babies are very happy

Today...

I unpacked two more boxes for my bedroom, cleaned the living room and unpacked one more living room box.

Made breakfast and dinner and did laundry.

Tomorrow, back to work. :seeingstars:

no.matter how much my back hurts, I'm very happy with today's accomplishments...
worked on more garden projects
built a SOLID greenhouse frame from 2 more recycled swing sets ..finished attaching top and two sides. very tickled I can plant my Topsy Turvy tomatoes tomorrow

I'm tired...

Thus far....

I got up at the ass crack of dawn

Helped Teddy make his lunch for work

Stripped the bed

Folded clothes

Did laundry

Had breakfast

Got the poodle ready for the groomer

Get myself ready for a day with my mom

Achieved my first "girl" crush :)


More to do when I get home...but for getting off to an awful start, this day is not so bad after all....even in bad times, if the company is good...it makes it all well worth it... <3

I'm too pooped to post a list, but I'm very happy with my weekend accomplishments...
and the fact my home-made, handy-dandy, Do-It-Myself chicken hutch stood through the nasty thunderstorm and all 12 chickies are safe and mostly dry (if they'd been smart enough to move over to the middle nesting box, they'd be completely dry...but nooooo, they had to huddle all in the corner box next to the fence...there's so many of them stuffed in that one box, that little heads and butts are sticking out over the front edge :cluck: :cluck: )

now I'm kicked back, listening to the rain, delighting in all the extra space I made in my room today after sorting and rearranging things...and WooBear is happy that I finished assembling his favorite crate.
