Spring break to-do:
-Blood work for doc office -Oil change in Jeremy's truck -Trim bushes in the back yard -Clean up leaves and rake clippings -Re-roof the back patio -Sweep and vacuum patio -Go to school and unload/run kiln and work on mural -Do Canvas training for Crowder -Finish book for book club -Order new garden shed -Haul off recycling -Prep items for garage sale Oy. How is it that last year's spring break involved a trip to Jamaica and this year I have a pile of to-do list which involves work and chores a mile long. How does everyone else have so much time to get everything done and take a week off for travel at this time of year? My husband has 5 days in a row off this week and he is using it to re-roof the patio. A task which is physically taxing and just plain hard work. While he is on the roof, I am spending time cleaning up the landscaping and organizing things in the backyard to make it more comfortable. Until our new garden shed arrives in 5 weeks, we have stuff piled up on the porch, waiting to be put away. Unfortunately, there are lots of things that only Jeremy can do---like re-wire and put up lighting, pick up heavy stuff, move bigger tools and rocks. I'm reduced to tasks which are simple and don't require heavy lifting. Yesterday, I worked with the hedge trimmer, cleaning up the bushes in the backyard and it rattled the tennis elbow in my right arm so badly that I almost could not hold a pen to write last night. I know I will be glad to have the chores done later, but I wish we were spending at least a little bit of his next 3 days off doing something fun together, and getting out of the house. Hopefully I can talk him into it.
