Not Too Sore

I'll just say Jim and I KICKED ASS yesterday!  We started around 10:30. First we drove the pick-up you see at left into our neighbors backyard and where they had a HUGE amount of wood stacked.  We filled the truck to the brim, drove it to our yard, dumped all the wood and split. Our first load had us working until noon.  We stopped, had lunch and then started again.  We filled the truck again, split and were finished by about 1:45.  From there, Jim took the truck back, I started stacking and by the time Jim returned, I had most of the wood put away.  We were completely finished (yard raked up and trashcans filled with debris) by 3:30.  Amazing! In the picture below, the last two sections are what we did yesterday.  We had wood leftover from last year and that's what fills the first two sections.  By the way, aren't the racks that Jim built nice?

Oh, and bonus - I'm only a little sore. And really it's the good kind of sore...like when you do a new workout that works different muscles.  Hopefully I won't get worse as the day goes by. Anyway,  I did all the splitting and throwing while Jim took on the log-splitting controllers.  It works out best that way because Jim has a hard time sitting as low as you have to in order to split. I'm very proud of how much we accomplished in such a short time.

Today's plans:  I need to clean downstairs (I cleaned upstairs yesterday) but that shouldn't take long.  I also want to do some rearranging with my exercise room (my 2nd guest bedroom upstairs).  I plan on disassembling my Aeropilates machine to make room for eventually putting another bed in there. Now that Eva is in a big girl bed, I need to prepare for her someday coming again to stay.  I'll move things around so that I'll still have my treadmill in there but I need to make sure my girl has somewhere to sleep! I'll shop around for a bed soon...maybe a nice daybed or something that can act as a couch too...we'll see.

While all that is happening, Jim is going to clean up the side yard and then it will be football time, I'm sure.  Hopefully that won't disappoint me but the Ravens have been on fire lately and we're still dealing with a lot of injured players.  UGH! 

Dinner tonight:  Broccoli Cheese Soup.  Looks deeeelicious! 

K - happy Sunday Funday!  Time for mimosas and breakfast.  Later!
