While I waited for 5:00 to roll around, I thought about all the things I'd rather be doing. Working on one of my crafts projects, repotting a couple of plants, harvesting hot peppers...
We left the office shortly after 5:00 and went straight to the house. I came inside, got out the plastic buckets I wanted to spray paint and a couple of cans of paint, and then returned to the driveway where I laid out squares of newspaper and then went to work. After I had the buckets painted, I decided that since I had to kill at least 15 minutes while the paint dried, I might as well harvest some compost and repot my flowers. To my surprise, I completely emptied the compost bin before I ran out of energy -- and still had enough left to do the repotting.
It was 7:30 by the time I finished my work and put away my tools and closer to 8:30 by the time I took a shower, started a load of laundry, and made myself some dinner. See why I'm so happy to be here on the couch?
