When did raking get so hard?

.

Okay, yeah, spring plush green to pull through.  Right, and twigs.  Some down since last fall, trampled or otherwise shoved into dirt, clay, such.  Well, and new twigs and branches.  None all that big, just many.  I tried both rakes.  The solid fork-like one isn't very good.  It may just have too small of a tine spread.  The other, the independent spring action one is okay.  Not the best but better than tiny eraser-head rake.  I need a bigger hard-tine rake.  Though that might be even more difficult to use.  Bleh.  Then again, I am still in recovery.  A good time for light work, even if, I suppose, it seems like hard work.

I did get the items upstairs.  I haven't cleaned any other windows.  I did grab a bight to eat.  I won't be working on either of the other two rooms, regarding window treatments.  Each room, most likely, will be a job all on it's own.  The living room has to be... emptied, rearranged, and cleaned even before I can move the short couch to get in behind it and work on things.  Oh, I could just clamber over.  I'm simply not going to do so.  Besides, I really do want that stuff sorted.  And cleaning is a plus, sort of like vegetables.  Bleh, but... there you go.  As well, the bedroom will be a task all it's own.  All good.  Whatever damn broke, and is giving me hydro-juice, I'll take it, use it for as long as I can, and... figure things out from there.  If I get enough going, when it gets too hot down here I may find out where to go to hide and cool off.  That being a learning and living lesson.

It sure is nice having clean front windows.  It looks like there is tape on them, inside and out, several places, that was never rightly removed.  I may, when just resting but needing to do so without sitting, grab a blade of some sort and scrape those.  It looks like regular tape.  But some of that is a pain to remove.  I am sure something like dw40 might help, along with the blade.  But then I'd have to wash the spot again.  We'll see.

Just an half hour, maybe forty five minutes, of raking pretty much shot it for me.  Bleh.  Then again, what I need to do in the living room?  I can do much of that while seated.  Sorting things into and out of boxes.  The heaviest work is organization, if that is usually worse than physical work.  Still... it might be doable, some of it, as I go through the evening.  But first, I will grab a razor right now, and work the taped splotches.  Doing well, actually.  I'll just keep at it.  There may come a time when I can do these things without it being excessive toil?  I sure hope so.  Later.
