Officially a good day.

.

I took my time about getting the salt in from the Xterra. I did take an hour or two to cool down. And then I got to work. One pile is all I could do for the day though. The pile was 8 by 5 by 3 1/2 feet at the peak. That pile was as much rock as dirt, littler rocks about the size of my fist or smaller. As I was finishing, I brought out a garden rake and that allowed me to get most of it up, including all but the tiniest of rocks. Actually, there are fewer rocks left in that area then what there are in the other areas. I put it right back where it had been taken from. Inspections can be such a huge waste, sometimes. One pile of "dirt" down. I still have one more pile of similar size. As well, I have a half dozen smaller boulders to move to the front lawn. I think I will make a front parking lane with them. There are holes in some of them which where created to be planters. That may end up being exactly what I use them for. The lawn is being watered, as well. The crops were watered right after that last post. I even remembered to fertilize the tomatoes, if a day late.

I do need a shower, in spite of knowing I will take one again tomorrow before leaving home. I just hate crawling into bed grungy. Further, I should not worry so much, since I will be changing sheets tomorrow. Whatever, a shower will feel great, will cool me down, and settle my mind about such things. I ought to cook something though I am not sure what. I need to make rice. I have beans. No meat is out, however. Then again, I already had meat earlier. Still, I think I will make the rice and just put that up, making plain cereal instead. Yes, that sounds like the way of it.

My goal is to get up early and call the chiropractor tomorrow. I am almost certain the appointment is at 14:00, but I need to check. If so, I will get to weed whipping. I do not want to start that before 9:00 or 10:00. It will still be cool enough and it will be less likely to be a bother to my neighbors. If I still have time, after a shower from that and with time remaining, I will begin checking on my bills. I have been trying to get them on automatic pay, but sometimes that takes a while, sometimes it does not always go through, and I wish not to be too late on too many things. After the appointment, I want to stop at Wal-Mart again, for smaller water sprayers, for the kitteh. She has to learn. Sprinkling with the fingers simply has lost the magic kitteh annoyance factor anyway. Hmmm, super soaker? Oh, that is a thought. *evil grins* After that, I will see if I have anything left. If I did not wake and get going fast enough to weed whip, I will do that. If I did, I might start on that other pile of dirt or the big rocks.

I will get things done this week. I think I can get everything, yardwise, on my list. If I remember, I will have to call the Mr. of the couple I now have dealings and try to set up a Saturday workday. A ladder would help me get some final painting finished and a chainsaw with that would allow me to try to figure out the tree trimming situation. This might end up being my best solo week ever since I have been disabled. And you know what, it will not stop there, I think.

Though from now on, I am planning to have swimming in the schedule, set up my weights and include them in my schedule, and set up my reloading kit and begin tinkering with it. I need to create layers of work, play, exercise, and business. I actually think this is coming around fairly well. Who knows, the next time my mother visits, she may not have to pull punches. Then again, she will have to sit with me and get both of us on the same page rather than merely leading the party as well. Oh, no, that was not a problem this time, at all. I simply did not know, so I asked her to be the brain of the thing, and this she did well. Next time, if I keep this up, I will be a bit more on the ball and will be able to be a part of the planning. I actually think, for the most part, she will like that.

Ah, I did a few extras today as well. I found a drop cloth for my piano, so it does not simply sit and collect dust. As well, I am doing laundry. I might get a load or three through, though I do not wish to push that. I will not stay up for laundry. Hmm, moving the sprinkler around will coincide nicely with the laundry if I do it on the hour marks. One last thing, I did not get the kitty litter cleaned out this morning. I have two large boxes, each enough for 3 cats if I wished to push it, so I probably do not need to do them daily. Still, it is much better if I do. And I need to sweep up. Sam is neat, but Stinkerbell has no clue, yet. Then again, she is almost doing gymnastics just to get in the boxes. It is funny about the kitten, she has eaten more, in the two weeks she has been here, than Sam has eaten sum total the whole time I have been feeding her. No problem, she needs a lot of food to grow and burns off calories like a chimp. I was surprised about it is all.

Well, I am off to figure out the water, laundry, make a little food, and watch a movie. Actually, you know what? Popcorn. I think I will simply make some popcorn. I will pull some meats out of the freezer though, too. Yes, that is the ticket.

Good night. Oh, hey, if you could add some prayers for Jean tonight, along with me and others, I would appreciate it. She is in a tough spot and is sorting things out. Help her as you may.
