40 cu. ft. of dirt moved into two garden beds today. So far. There's still about one cubic yard of dirt left on the driveway to move, but it'll have to wait until the third and final bed is made.

Getting to the point of complete knackeredness.

Hopefully Geoff will be done making the last bed before nightfall and will transport a few loads himself. Not optimistic on that front. He'll finish it today, but too late to do anything about it.


Despite the ache in my feet, back and hamstrings, it feels good to be working again.


This is one hell of a weekend project, though, for two sickos like us.

HOLY CRAP. You are crazy. I was up being social and went out to eat with cousins yesterday and nearly died. (Slept for 13 hours!)

Congrats, good luck and no death!

Yes, I am crazy. I do wonder if I'll be able to move at all tomorrow morning. And what I'll do if I can't.

In my defense, I was working extra hard because I thought that it was supposed to rain tomorrow. Turns out it's not, but...

(being social will wipe me out way faster and harder than work will, though. Don't know the mechanics of it, but it does.)

Now I need to go sleep for 13 hours. Or at least 9. ;-)

Take ibuprofen not only does it help with already sore muscles because of its nature it will help prevent them as well. Of course I think I'm a bit late on this advice so *crosses fingers* good luck then!

Well, my super-hot shower last night seemed to do the trick. I'm a bit sore, but nowhere near as sore as I should be. :-) (I think my ten hour nap last night also helped.)

I'm actually trying to stay away from ibuprofen and tylenol as they both put a fair bit of pressure on the liver and stomach, both of which I'm trying to be really, extra, superdooper nice to. I take them when it's necessary, but not before.

Oh right I knew that. I attempt to kill my liver/kidneys on a regular basis so I forget that other people aren't as violent. XD
