More work in the garden….and just work
Posted in Hearth and Home, THE Zines on April 10th, 2009
I’m beginning to think most of my life is work — 24/7. Good thing it’s fun. Today, I entered books into the database. Packed stuff for reviewers to be mailed out later. Then answered email. Forwarded nice comments to some of the reviewers. Did the Wii for 33 minutes and read.
I finished 39 Clues: Book 3 by Peter Lerangis for a May review in SFRevu. Also finished The Haunting of Derek Stone: Bayou Dogs by Tony Abbott (May review in SFRevu) and The Trail of the Wild Rose: An English Garden Mystery by Anthony Eglin (May review-Gumshoe Review). Just started The Language of Bees by Laurie King (May review in Gumshoe Review).
I cleaned up the house a bit (I hate house cleaning and want a wife to do it for me). I made a small dent in the paper blizzard on my office table (I’m currently working in the dining room).
For fun and because it has to be done, I went out and raked the yard. I managed to rake up three enormous piles. When hubby got home he moved the piles onto a tarp and took them out into the woods and dumped the leaves to compost. The problem is it still looks like I didn’t do anything much at all. However, we’re gaining on it. I’ve still got a lot of clearing to do before planting time comes around.
Today, I feel like I’m gaining on it a bit.
