Menage à Trois Bingo

I just called in sick to work, since Jen is unable to come and hang out waiting for the door installer. I'm perfectly well, but heck, it's a nice day, I never do that, and someone has to be here. All excellent reasons to stay home. And now I shall go make myself some lovely raisiny oatmeal for breakfast.

I feel really good about myself right now. My hands and back ache and I've got dozens of small scrapes on my hands, but I feel good. I'm tired in that "excess of manual labor" sort of way. I spent most of the day outside, cutting down part of the jungle that was once my vegetable garden but became a mass of young trees, and pulling weeds out of my flowerbeds. I decided to leave some trees behind in the garden; I'm going to put in a pond, some shade-loving flowers, and a bench, and have a shady little meditation spot.

Tomorrow I'll rake up the mess and then plant some flowers in the bare spaces in the flowerbed, in hopes that they'll take over and force out the weeds. The pond project will have to wait for my next free weekend.

And the doors are all done. They look terrific. They even close and lock properly! .
