I'm going to head out. Skywise will be home in about 45 minutes and I know he's going to want to collapse. I know I'm ready to! Everything between my neck and my hips aches, especially the small of my back and my shoulders. Black locust wood is heavy! So I'm going to take more aspirin and get ready for bed.
Maybe next week will be "normal." *cue hysterical laughing...*

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Still working on tree removal.
No sign of the raccoon.

A quiet and peaceful night. Just the way I like it! The weather forecast for the next week has only a 20% chance of rain each day so we "should" have a chance to dry out! Of course the temps are going to be in the low 90s so I'm not going to be outside much! I don't take heat well and I tolerate humidity even less. Yeah, I know! I picked a lousy state to be born in with a dislike of those two climate elements but I can't think of a place in the U.S. where it isn't hot, humid and/or cold as hell in the wintertime!  So I'm just gonna have to deal until fall rolls around!  Thank the Gods for A/C!

Skywise is home, I am beat and I'm out of here!
I've spent the evening planning my dance training.
Skywise -- and any other man I dance for! -- is gonna appreciate my efforts!

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon!
I'm up finally. Skywise has the early shift today -- thank the Gods! -- so I will be able to get to bed at a decent time tonight. I've no problem with the concept of "night shift" but it's a real pain when you have to get up before noon the next day!  Now I need to shift mental gears so the "before he leaves stuff" is done in the next hour and a a half....

I'm working my way through a mountain of laundry that has piled up over the last week! Between the storms every night and the ground being completely saturated, I've put off doing laundry as long as I could. Since the laundry mountain now rivals Everest, I gotta tackle it. *sigh* Oh well, once it's cut down to size, keeping up won't be hard.
I hope...

I'm finished with the laundry for tonight.
I went out and moved some wood that Skywise didn't get to before he left. I had to come in before I finished. I got too hot. Moonie treated me with a huge bowl of ice cream which cooled down my insides. I have one long log left to move. I'll get it moved tomorrow. I'll have time before Skywise gets to that part of the yard. Yes, he's cutting the grass tomorrow....

It's still 90 out but I went and moved that last log. I wrestled it onto the wheelbarrow and got it from the Guest House back yard to the west side of our house. I'm not sure how I'm going to set it up in the kitty yard but the furpersons will love it.
NOW, I hope that next week, I can be a "girl" and not a manual laborer! I am SO not in shape for what I've been doing the last couple of days! At least with the knee braces, I was able to do more than I would have be able to do without them. But, I'd rather be belly dancing....

Tonight's storm missed us, pretty much. Some noise and a bit of rain and that's all. Skywise is home and I'm going to head out. I still have laundry to put away. *sigh* And I hurt like hell but I suppose that is why the Gods made aspirin.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.
It rained like hell last night so Skywise's plan to cut the grass today is scrapped. The wheelbarrow is about half full of rain water so I don't think that the grass is going to dry out any time soon.
We're getting ready to head out to do our Saturday "stuff." See ya later.

We're back and I'm mostly caught up! I was kicking myself because I forgot to put on my knee braces before we left. Fortunately, I've been wearing them enough that I was able to navigate Greenwood without them. Now if we'd gone to the Children's Museum or anyplace else that involved a lot of walking, I might have had some trouble but we didn't so I didn't.
I found a copy of Arcana Mundi at Half Priced Books today. I've been looking for it for ages! Amazon has it, of course, but it has been rather pricey. This one was $7.98 plus tax and in pretty good shape.  It's a first printing, 1985. It's a rather scholarly tome that I'll have to take my time with. It will probably be used for reference more than anything, I suspect.
Smiley There is a donut calling my name. I must answer! Smiley Later!

I was telling Skywise my plans for exercise and dance a while ago. He seemed to approve. I'm going to need to pick his brain on the problem of the "movable" mirror wall I want to build. I have enough mirror tiles for a 4 x 6 foot "mirror". I just need to figure out how to construct it so I can use it like I want to. Smiley 
This will take some thought....

It's peaceful, quiet and dinner is over.
This is a good thing.
Methinks that, despite my earlier indulgences today, a small dish of ice cream with a bit of topping is in order.  Monday and the new exercise program will come soon enough and it has been a Smiley of a week, in case anyone asks....

Afternoon.
I slept like a log and Skywise let me sleep late. He's out cutting the grass -- which he'd planned to do last weekend but we ended up watching it rain instead -- and I'm getting myself organized. The girls are catching up on their "ZZZZZZs" too. It's been a rough week on all of us.
I need to get myself organized so I can get back to Book 3. Last week was a complete wash as far as productivity was concerned. *sigh* Damn "real life!"
Later.

I am slowly making some headway. 
I've been crushing soda cans so I can bag them up for recycling. How four people can generate so many empty soda cans is beyond me! I'm getting the steel cans and the glass ready to go too. We don't have much to recycle in the way of plastic since we don't drink a lot a bottled water. We keep it around though, especially in the Guest House. I'm taking a short break before I fill up another bag. I want to get caught up with it so we can hit the recycling bin sometime this week.
Later.

We went to town after Skywise finished the grass and grabbed a very late lunch and hit Wal-Mart for catfood and light bulbs.  The local Wal-Mart is closing out its fabric department and they had a little black chiffon left. I got all that they had left. Not enough to make a skirt but I'll find a use for 2 yards somewhere along the line.
Now I'm going to cool off and then get back to work.
Later.

Dinner is cooking.
I have MOST of the cans -- steel and soda -- under control.
The weather is mostly quiet and I'm YaHooing with Nike. All is good.

I'm gonna head out while the heading out is good. My bed and a book are calling my name and I want to read a little before I sleep if the War Queen will let me.

Morning.
There is rain in the offing.  The northern half of the state is covered with red, yellow and green. This is getting old. It seems to be sliding to the east at the moment but the day is young. Yeah. Not happy. At least the grass is cut...
I need tea.
Later.

I'm heading out. There is some weather to the north. Don't know if it will be heading this way or not but I'd like to get a little sleep tonight regardless.

It has not been a good morning. All hell broke loose at around 4 am and continued until about a couple of hours ago. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much or well. The girls are catching up on their sleep now and Skywise is up at the Guest House. There will be a nap in my future, he has the super late shift tonight and I won't make it otherwise. Right now, though, I'm hungry so tea and a little something to eat is in order.
Later.

We went into town around noon to get bread and milk of which we were out! While at Wal-Mart, I availed myself of their fabric sale. All fabric is half off. They are trying to get rid of as much as possible since they are closing their fabric section. I got some (more) red satin and some green satin. I hadn't planned on making a green and gold bra and belt but I guess now I'll have to some up with some ideas. At least I have already planned to make a green skirt and veil combo to go with the already planned metallic gold bra and belt.  That will give me another costume.  Time enough for the designing and the making now that I have the fabric at 50% off!
