Wow, Accomplished So Much Today
I was up at the crack of dawn. Man, I'm tired. Had to get up early to get my wife and daughter to school by 7 am, then I had a routine physical at 8am. I was the first appointment of the day, but oddly enough, didn't get seen until about 820. No wonder doctors are always so late. Then I drove to Lincoln to the Sid Dillon dealership to exchange my punctured tire. That was an easy process, and they immediately honored the road hazard tire warranty. I stopped by my sister's work to pick up a computer monitor (one that I actually bought from her 6 months ago, but just have never been able to connect at the right time or place to get it), then drove back to Omaha. I got the tires rotated on my wife's car, got a haircut, did some shopping for a new grill and new trees in the backyard, and then mounted my new tire and put the spare back in it's hidey hole. I then mowed the yard, and created another 8 bags of mulched thatch. The bags were very dense, at least twice as dense as the unmulched thath from yesterday. I then rearranged the junk in the garage so the garage door could be installed tomorrow, and also used the blower to blow out the dust in the garage and also blew off the driveway and sidewalks. Then, yes there's more, after dinner, I headed out and ran 5.3 miles, at my best pace to date, doing 9:05 miles. Wow. Since the night was still and young and I was very sore, I headed to the gym to sit in the whirlpool for awhile. Phew. It was a long day, but the yard looks awesome, I'm so pleased. It really looks great, I can only imagine how good it's going to look this summer. I still want to get some fertilizer down before the rain comes later this week, but that should be an easy job, perhaps tomorrow evening or Friday evening after work. I wish all days were this productive. Ha.
