I don’t know how many hours I spent in the yard today–I kept finishing what I was doing and coming inside, only to go back out again for more…I planted the rose from yesterday, and planted a few more things from the nursery (oh yes and went to the nursery), and pulled a bunch of weeds everywhere, and dug up some things in the back bed that I’ve decided are weeds rather than volunteers, but oh there are so many more of those, and I pruned a bunch of things too, and barely even got into the front yard–but the front yard is taking pretty good care of itself–oh and I watered some, because finally it is nice and warm! which means everything is drying out….
Anyway, on and on like that.
Also I cleaned the aquarium filter, which isn’t hard, particularly, but it is a bit stressful, because if you don’t pay attention and do it right, you may suddenly find yourself with 20 gallons of water where they don’t belong, as you unplug hoses and whatnot…also there’s electricity involved. But, the fish are much happier now, or at least they would be happier if they understood, which of course they don’t–all they know is that I spent all kinds of time fiddling with their environment without actually feeding them, which is confusing indeed to their little fish brains.
And then I wrote about 2,500 words on Nightcraft Mother–again I wasn’t aiming for word count particularly, but rather there are only two more dreadful things that need to happen before I’m through adding stuff to the front part here, and I got to one of them, and the next one is on its way; so that was hard work too, though satisfying.
And before all that I woke up early and went into the office for the Tuesday sales meeting, and no wonder I’m tired!
