The Procedural Deviations Abatement Team scored again in the munchies department. We got leftovers from the big mucky-mucks meeting: crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms, and flaky spinach puffs. At least this week I wasn't too stuffed to do my full workout afterwards.
Progress on the Big M creeps forward. ( Read more... )
Other than that, I've been pretty brain-dead today. As predicted, I wrestled with insomnia last night, although the talk-radio technique meant that I got right back to sleep each time I woke up. It's still not as good as a real night's sleep.
The ceremonial First Lawn Mowing of Spring happened after all. My neighbor across the street asked to borrow my mower and insisted on doing my front lawn as well in exchange. So while he was mowing, I finished cutting the suckers off the laurel tree, got half the fig suckers cut, and nearly finished weeding the north fence bed. I've pretty much finished all the pruning that's going to get done. Most of the roses are done and all the berries. The plum is clipped. I really should have gotten to the apple and almonds as well, but they'll have to wait for another year. Some of the laurel suckers were very tall and straight, so I've ended up with half a dozen 8-foot poles that I'm saving for as-yet-unknown projects. Next I move on to getting all the allegedly cleared beds weeded and analyzed for replacement plants. Then I work on putting in some more sections of brick pathway. I will do more yard work this year than last. I will.
