Sunday, August 23

5:34 a.m. - I got a lot done yesterday.  I did start with getting some time in the hot tub, which felt great, and then I finished my book - Demon Copperhead.  It was a book that was tough for me to read, and I suppose I felt better that there was a happy ending, but I know all too well that there aren't all happy endings with addictions.  I then worked on washing the house.  I had a bit of delay when my extendable brush broke, so I went to Edgington Hardware to replace it.  While I was out and about, I just took my rake and the loppers to the school to get that work done.  I trimmed the trees over the outside tables, and I worked on getting more mulch around the playground where it is needed.  That was a lot of work with the old rake, so my body is feeling it today.  Then it was back home and finished the house washing project, which eventually got done.  After that, I worked on the yard - mowed the yard with the rider and with the trim mower.  With all that done, we grilled some steaks for supper and waited for Kollyns to arrive.  Oh - I did also spends a little time in the morning on a walk with Sophie.  

Today...I'd really like to work on weeds - pulling weeds, spraying weeds, clipping weeds.  The problem is that I'm really tired.  We'll see how today goes.
