God, I am SO TIRED.
We spent pretty much the entire weekend digging out the old fence posts between our house and our neighbor's. In the process we accidentally cut their cable line and they had to have someone from Comcast come out and fix it. ^^;;; at least it was cable and not the electric line or gas line, though....
Anyway, we took out eight fence posts, and it was SERIOUSLY difficult work. You have to dig a hole around the concrete plug of each post, and most of them went down nearly three feet. My wrists and forearms hurt so much last night I could barely fall asleep!! But, we at least have all the posts out on that side. This coming weekend we've got to take out the half-fence along the back of our house, and we are crossing our fingers that the posts of that one are not set nearly so deep. Here's hoping, anyway... Who knew putting in a fence was such hard work? We haven't even started putting the new one up yet!!
Anyway, we also did some house cleaning yesterday and then I spent pretty much every other available moment flopped on the couch with tylenol and margaritas trying to pretend my muscles didn't hurt. :P
Today was our new clerk's first day at work, so I spent all day today driving her around to all the different county buildings to get her set up with her badge, ID, fingerprinting, etc. I'm sure she's probably as tired as I am since I know I overloaded her with information -- I feel like today has been one looong public speech, and my voice is tired from doing so much talking! Also my desk has disappeared under the mountain of work that I have been unable to keep up with. Can't wait for the new clerk to really be able to dig in and help get this stuff caught up.
I could have stayed at work til 8 like I did all last week but just didn't have it in me tonight, so I've come home to an empty house since Shasta isn't back from her appointments yet. I may just grab a little food and flop into bed....
