spring cleaning

We got to bed late last night, then I woke up this morning and sliced my finger open on a can of cat food.

I felt exhausted all day - I think our recent travels around the country last week and around Nova Scotia this past weekend have belatedly caught up with me. Then Mark told me that he'd brewed decaf coffee instead of real stuff, and that was what I drank this morning.

That didn't help.

So I've felt a bit unproductive all day.

BUT... we did a little bit of work on the inside of the house, so that's something. Also, late last week I started some major yard cleaning - I got an entire garbage bag full of litter from the treed part of our property. That's good, except that I only made it through about a quarter of the trees. By my estimate, that means there are three more entire garbage bags worth of chip bags, styrofoam cups, grocery bags, and candy wrappers rotting out in my yard right now. The density of the trash in my woods is absolutely amazing. I would have gone out again to get more but lately we've had snow, rain, freezing rain, and generally cold miserable weather.

Tomorrow it's supposed to be back to spring again, which means that maybe, just maybe, our new windows will be put in. If it stays warm, I can also get the rest of the litter out of the woods and start digging out our vegetable garden.

I feel too tired to really think about that in detail right now though, so I'm off to bed.
