zolaThe promised warm front came through, it went from about 39 degrees and sleeting to 52 in a matter of about 30 minutes.
Still busy with work, but that's a good thing, if this keeps up perhaps I can re-start my emergency fund. I like to have some cash on hand for things like an unexpected vet bill or what have you, and it got drained dry due to Binky's final illness and then having to wait weeks to get paid on a job.
Ben went and volunteered over at the Asylum yesterday, nothing exciting but the lawn needed to be picked up because we've had wind and lost quite a few small branches. I've started up using the exercise bike again in the hopes of avoiding miserably sore muscles when I start the heavier yard work in a month. It's the difference between minor, easily ignored pain and several days of hobbling around, so it's well worth doing.
The bike is especially useful because it uses the same muscles I need to hike up and down the super-steep hillside. We do intend to cut some steps into that hill, but we need to finish rerouting the water runoff before we can do that, and that involves standing on said super-steep hill and trying to shovel at the same time.
We need to get a new pickaxe handle, ours broke last year. We taped it up, and while it's just fine to do minor things like chipping a bit of dirt out of the hill, it's really no good for anything more stressful.
And on that exciting note, I will end this post. :)
