Busy, busy day.

Work was relatively quiet. Got in a few payments that were WAY past due and that was great. I got one rental while I was there and later when I got home, we ran an errand, came home and got dinner in the crock pot and the phone rang. It was someone wanting to rent and although we had been closed for a few hours at that point, I ran back to work and rented a unit to them. I didn't mind. For one they probably wouldn't have gotten anyone else to answer the phone and secondly that brings me down to only having 3 left. WOOOT!

After that I came home and started working on my yard. I began working on the side walks out front. Clearing all the grass out of the cracks and cleaning them up and hadn't gotten very far with it was time to grab a bit to eat. While doing that my brother and his wife and daughter came over to visit and drop off some shirts they wanted embroidered. Well after visiting for a little bit, I excused myself because I had a ton of stuff I wanted to get done or as much of it as possible. My brother and his wife come outside and start helping me. Pretty soon Joe (my brother) runs home and gets his power washer and leaf blower and before too long, my yard looked like a professional crew had come in and worked over the yard. It was fantastic. They worked just as hard if not harder than me. I ended up getting the sidewalks all cleared, blown off and then power washed. The flower beds were completely weeded and are prepped for bulbs and flowers. Then Joey rakes everything up and we put away all the tools etc and go in for a nice glass of ice tea. In the meantime, Dan is in the backyard building me a new fence and gate for the front of my garden area that is just gorgeous. He wouldn't let me pay him back for the supplies either. 80 bucks just to build that 10 foot section with gate. Everything is coming together very nicely.

NOT bad at all and I felt like I'd eaten like a pig but really I didn't do bad at all. Super busy day as far as exercise. I am so sore right now and so tired, I could just drop. I hope that when I get up in the morning my hands and my arm won't hurt near as much as it does right now. I am thinking that the heating pad on my shoulder tonight while I'm sleeping....might not be a bad idea if I want it to be lose enough to work some more tmw. I have a ton more things I'd really like to accomplish tmw.

I am going to start using my pedometer at work and make myself get in my 10,000 steps or darn close to it each day. It's a little tough when it's raining out but most days it will be fine. If I keep up like I am doing right now...Monday should be a good weigh day. :)
