I'm finding out just how out of shape I am these days. I've begun walking in the AM, before breakfast and am on day 4 I think it is..... Doing OK with that, other than I can feel my shins are a tad cranky...and my feet and legs are ready for bed just as soon as dinner is over!

But, in my enthusiasm about the house painting venture here........I jumped right into Shed Painting today, and now my arms and shoulders hurt too!

While waiting for the high noon sunshine to cool off a bit, so I could paint without passing out..... I decided I had just enough time to mow the lawns.... And, even tho it is a riding mower.........that makes me pooped too! (don't laugh, it can be some work since there is no power steering) I've got probably an acre to mow these days, but absolutely none of it is a flat, normal lawn like event. In, around, through, edges and more edges....there is no just sitting and vegging out with this yard.

Beginning to ramble on..... Very tired, but a good tired. I took some tylenol for my sore self, and stood under a hot shower for a looonngg time.......& I'm hoping a nights sleep makes me a brand new woman (albeit a brand new OLD woman) by tomorrow morning. I'm going to tackle the last 2 sides of the shed, and I'm going to rig up a drag affair behind my tractor mower and see if I can get the gravel spread out any better than it got done from the truck... (it is sort of like a series of speed bumps out back)

Doing these kinds of jobs myself, certainly eliminates the need for a health club membership. Cheaper too, just as long as I don't fall off the ladder or something while I'm painting! Definately a no spender here today!
