Jul. 30th, 2006 06:00 pmthat would be my achy joints. spent 6 hours today doing yard and housework, and WOW do i hurt. got a lot done, dad and the bro came over and we basically ripped up anything smaller than a bush. dad trimmed some of the bushes and tree limbs, i raked all the branches and leaves from the yard, the bro dug up the stone "staircase" (more like a rickety accident waiting to happen) at the side of the house, as well as the awful landscaping at the back of the house. and... lo and behold! i have a small brick patio next to my deck! you'd never know it before because it was overgrown with weeds (did these people EVER lift a finger to take care of this house?)... but i pulled all those suckers out, and there you go. hung up most of my decoratey stuff inside, as well... i'll take pix tonight once i clean a little bit.
i laid low yesterday, since i was coming down off the whole illness thing. i went for a couple of hours of spa time with
swingdoc (i could really use that massage NOW), then we went back to her place for a big awesome salad and lo-carb ice cream. i stayed in last night, because i knew how much i was going to have to exert myself today and didn't want to push my health... which is a bummer, because i really would have liked to see
jeremym's trapeeze performance in baltimore, or hung out with
boutell during his 24-hour blogathon (check out his LJ... he wrote 48 sonnets in 24 hours, and they're awesome).
so, that was my exciting weekend. photos to come later tonight...
