Well, no, not really, but it does feel good to rake the lawn and see it go from the faded brown to a much more visible green. Winter came right on the heels of fall, which meant a lot of the leaves weren't raked up then. Four months later, the snow's finally gone, but the leaves are all rotted and ugly looking. It's a sad sad situation. (grin)
After we cleaned up most of the front yard (and filled up our trashcan with a full week until the next pickup), my little brother and I started on the garage.
To understand the garage, you need to realize two facts:
1. In 1999 we moved to pittsburgh. we never really unpacked.
2. In 2001 we moved back to salt lake. The boxes that were never unpacked got mixed with a bunch of boxes from each of our rooms. These boxes were thrown more or less randomly into the garage, and it's taken 3 years for us to get even a part of those boxes sorted out.
This is partially cause we're lazy, but mostly it's because we had no room. Our ex-roommate took up a lot of space. That's one of the reasons we threw him out. (the others being: he never paid rent, he didn't have a job, he was a condescending prick, he was sexist, he talked too much, he ate our food, and- perhaps worst of all- he stank up our bathroom). Once he was gone, we actually had space to put things in the house.
So anyways, after good progress was made on the garage, David (my little brother) took a saw and began to trim the tree in our backyard. That's three major projects accomplished today. Which means, though I didn't work on either of my novels or do anything with the webpage, that this was a very very productive day. I can now sleep happy.
That's all really. I probably should recap my 3 days of horror at work (sat-mon), but I won't.
tata everyone
