Slept in again and laid there basking in the beauty of not HAVING to get up yet. It is SO great to not be at work (in case I forget to marvel about that later). Absolutely gorgeous day!
Threw all the curtains in the wash (hello spring cleaning). Dog blankets are next (I hate the smell of dog). Sanded the drywall mud on the funky hall ceiling patch. Applied more mud to the bathroom fan patch since it had dried and still had some gaps. Made coffee. Spackled holes in the hall.
I need to scoop and mow the lawn (was hoping to hire some help to free up my time - but the help is busy).
Dug out a couple spirea bushes for my mom. Delivered them to her. Heard about her recent trip to see my brothers and nephew in New Orleans. Picked up my dad’s post hole digger. Thanked my lucky stars I only have three chickens, not twenty (significantly smellier, if you can believe that). Headed to Lowes because I wasn’t smart enough to get the concrete for the posts while there yesterday. Still need to work out a trailer / truck situation for transporting fence panels tomorrow. And get that permit (forgot to bring the stuff today).
Mowed the front yard. It is very dry all the sudden. I need to thread soaker hoses in the garden. But first I should really finish planting the garden.
Recharge drill battery. Put locks on the chicken coop in anticipation of visitors tomorrow who may be tempted to set them free. Decide I really need to put hooks in so I can hang the feeders. Maybe if they are off the ground the chickens will stop crapping in their water. Why did I not get chain while I was at Lowes (twice)?
While mowing the backyard, Suzie starts barking at some roaming black dog in the front. Oh look, Maggie got out (the front door doesn’t always latch so I assume she let herself out). Get Maggie back (luckily she doesn’t take off any more, although she likes to exert her dominance by not coming immediately and first stopping to pee on the neighbor’s tree. Nice Maggie). Finished mowing yard.
Friend came over and completely derailed my productivity. Instead we made a good dinner and relaxed. See that people? Relaxed. I can do it, when I have no other choice.
