I slept till 9 am today

It was a treat, and I really needed to catch up. I got a lot of work done, like walked the grand dogs, pulled ivy off the house wall, cleaned out 2 beds, and the garden, got the last of the pumpkins disposed of, put yard things away and filled the bird feeders. Taking a short break and hitting the kitchen. I wish I could have this kind of energy more often.

Tomorrow, I am getting the water heater replaced, plus 2 other small jobs. Exciting to get them off the list!

Happy Monday

Because I don't get enough sleep. Two good nights in a row, and I am in the groove!

I usually try to manage the ivy in the spring, but didn't get the weather this year. It was really rooted into the bricks. I like using a small clipper and a paint scraper. None of the other chores hard to get done. I'm hoping the ivy will stay on the ground for awhile. Maybe I can skip next spring.

Well, that would be true if we were on Reykjavik time, but here in Illinois. .

But that's because I was up at 3:30am and went back to bed around 6. And I cleared about a foot of snow off one of my cars and cleared a path for the UPS driver to deliver a package.

After that I haven't done a damn thing except eat and watch stuff online.

Good a Monday as any.

Shoveling snow is hard work. I have a short walk and nice neighbors. You sound like the nice neighbor

Because of the package! It was dry snow so I was able to just sweep the porch and steps but the walk to the driveway had a 2' drift so I had to do something about it.

And the package arrived so I am without obligation or expectation until late tomorrow morning.
