I'm doing this now because tomorrow is Dave's birthday and there will be no time for blogging. Also, I am so tired right now that I thought we might get some interesting responses from my brain.

So, what could possibly have been so exhausting in my life? Well, as you may recall from the last entry, I was just going to do a little transplanting and call it good. Maybe plant some seeds too. Uh huh. Here's what the rest of my day looked like after I posted that last bit.

Posted blog entry
Started loads in washer & dryer, folded laundry
Bought potting soil, mulch, tomato teepees & bird/cat netting for garden @ Moscow Building Supply
Transplanted eggplant, romaine & swiss chard, also avocado tree into new pots
Planted pumpkins, carrots, radishes & snow peas after raking out beds (& adding organic matter for mounds in the case of the pumpkins)
Watered everybody
Set up walls o water around pumpkins & other plants
Mulched garage bed & new patio bed
Went to store w/Dave & got new tevas & wasp killer, also groceries
Stapled netting to raised bed
Trimmed, weeded & mulched raised bed border
Cleaned off porch a bit, put my things away, mostly, rinsed out cooler, in preparation for tomorrow
Called people re: dinner tomorrow
Killed wasps
Cleaned out ice cube bin & composted stuff
Cleaned kitchen sinks & counter
Picked up living room
And then I was done. As in finished off, not as in finished.

Forgive the misspellings & oddnesses. That's cut and pasted directly from my list of today's accomplishments. I started doing that a couple of years ago, writing down everything I've done in a day, when I realized that I did more than I gave myself credit for. It's a great way to keep track of my workload & activity level, and ups my morale far better than just crossing things off a to do list.

But I'm babbling.

I'm lying on the couch with a glass of pinot grigio next to me and my feet way up in the air. I was on them all day. Combine that with the heat and you get swollen ankles, which I noticed in the shower just now. Not pretty. So rather than just climb into bed, I'm going to give the retained fluid an opportunity to go away. And then I'll go to bed.
