Wednesday...
I am here at work. Things are going pretty well. My leg does throb a bit. But that is to be expected. I have been putting a lengthy list of stuff I need to get caught back up on. At least with a list I can do what I can whenever I have the energy. Though I was in the back yard yesterday throwing old bread over the fence, and I noticed that it has become an overgrown Jungle... Complete with bugs, weeds and assorted animals that aren't supposed to be there.
I have decided to handle it this weekend. So at lunch, I went to Home Depot with Michelle and bought bug spray along with weed/ground cover Killer. The dogs will be at the groomer so I should be able to hook this bug spray thing up to the hose and do some pest control around the trees, shrubs, patio, and house. After that, I will put the ground cover stuff into a sprayer and hit the patio, walkway, fence line and garden edges. Then I should be done for the day. Though sometime during the weekend the backyard HAS to be mowed. Now if I can't get Lyon to get out there and do it, I will have to. I don't want that, but It will get done. The bugs are getting soooooo bad back there. I don't want them coming into the house. I'm afraid the grass is getting so tall back there, chiggers and fleas are not far behind. And with help from the Dogs...They will become an inside problem.
I would love the luxury of taking it easy, but that is not really an option. I will do what I can, at the pace I can tolerate. I wish it wasn't that way, but...The stress of not getting this stuff done is worse than the actual labor of doing the chores.
The key is multi tasking. Run a load of laundry while I'm mowing the yard and the dogs are being washed. Get the wireless network up and running again, while I spray the back yard. Take a nap while the dishwasher is running.
See it seems like I'm doing a lot, but not really.
