1. Hope your wife feels better soon!

On my to-do list is to find a landscaper to do some cleanup and try to get the grass looking nicer, probably put some seed down. One reason we bought this house is the small, easy-care lawn, but it’s still a PITA at times.

2. That's quite the list!

I’m sure she’ll appreciate all the work you’ve done when she gets home.

3. You ought to see my main list.

I'm just hoping that reincarnation is real so I can get it all done.

The list I have here is what I hope to get done in the next two weeks. Plus I'm babysitting and doing the routine household chores in addition.

6. Yikes!!! You're going to be very busy.

I admire your discipline. I caught a horrible case of the lazies a week ago and just can’t seem to shake it.

4. But what are you going to do tomorrow?

5. Proclaim it good and rest.

7. worked a few hours at the neighbors over the weekend so didn't get much done

Babysat my youngest grandchild yesterday so didn't get much done that day either.

Today is being productive.

Eating some boiled eggs for a lunch and then I'll get started on another task.

8. Clearing the brush today kicked my ass but the job is done.

I got the raised beds cleaned up and started on the raised rows. Also made progress on the future asparagus row.

9. Snow on the ground and the temps in the high 20's

Kind of put kibosh on what I can do outside. I did make much progress on the plumbing job for the neighbor on Friday. Spent much of Saturday babysitting but found the time during the day to go to the family farm and come up with a plan on how to get the piano out of the house.

Today I'll probably do routine housework (laundry, dishes, dusting, clean toilets, vacuum and such) and sharpen the kitchen knives.
