Ever feel lonely when you dont have any PM's waiting for you?

[Rozzie]

Whew ladies! I'm going to be ready to REST later this afternoon.

So far in the last two hours I have:

Drained the mucky water from the pool, refilled it with a bit of fresh water (needs a hundred or so gallons), installed a pond deicer to keep the drain from freezing (we hope), blew out the water lines & put in pool antifreeze.
Pulled all the stuff from the front 1/2 of the shed -- my son apparently thought that when I sent stuff out there it meant HEAVE it in anywhere he could. It's now properly put away so that we can get to the firewood in the BACK half of the shed. I guess he'd planned on taking all the crap out of the front every time he was sent after wood. UGH.
Enough firewood for 3 or 4 evenings worth of fires has been hauled in.
Sorted out lumber for a project & hauled it up to the house. Not sure I have enough.
Gathered stray yard items to put away for winter...
Winterized the lawn mower
TRIED to winterize the tiller, but couldn't get it to start. Pulled it up under the patio to deal with later.

Oh, and the lovely teenager showed up when I was almost done with all that. 90 minutes before he had drug himself out of bed & was eating a bowl of cereal. Told him that as SOON as he finished that bowl of cereal I needed his help. Apparently it took 90 minutes to eat...I was about to go in & tell him he'd better have come down with a nasty case of amoebic dysentery or something to be delayed that long. I'm still pretty unhappy about it.

Still on the list:
Fix the plastic poolside shed (where chemicals get stored). The dang thing has popped apart. Not sure how to fix it yet...hopefully it won't be hard
clean off the patio & tidy what remains there
Add a bit more water to the pool then drain the hose & put it away
drain the water taps outside & winterize those
MAYBE drain the garage bathroom. I can probably get by with a couple more weeks for that. (I will hold off as long as I can safely. I'll watch the weather.)
Haul brush pile aside to use as kindling after it dries

Then, if any energy remains, dig in garden a bit...I have quail bedding & rabbit litter that needs to be dug into the ground so that my bins are empty.

Rozzie stop it your making me sick--LOL

Chickenschick is it Raymonds turn right now ??? hehe Im off to sneak up on my derserters

 

[Rozzie]

ROFL Don't let me make you sick. I think I got 10 hours work done in 6 hours and my back is telling me so.

We got the rest of the bird litter & rabbit litter PLUS some of the compost dug in.

This is about the very last chance we had to do it til spring, since the ice crystals were going down a couple of inches (had to break through the frozen top crust, ROFL). That lets me start out winter with empty litter bins.

Took the little plastic shed apart, washed / scrubbed the parts & put them in the workshop for the winter. I may not put it back where it was anyway. I kind of like it without anything there. Gives me space for plants & a chair. (The shed was here when we moved in.)

Patio is emptied, swept, and only the things that should be there are back.

Enough firewood for a day or two...

The big entry rugs have been beaten out...and are now laid out to keep winter mud out of the garage...or attempt to.

Had to find homes for all the junk that was in that shed (ew!)

I'm beat. Going to eat & have a coffee then soak in a hot bath...

Well yea, then I let him take me to town

and we made it back

JK he did really well. He is super nervous on the HW but perfect in town. He has to let go of the wheel and reach over the top of the wheel to use his blinker. He has learned now to use his knee to steady the wheel so it isn't such a jerky process

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ... dug into the shed and pulled out two of my ?? boxes of Christmas decorations. DH and DD13 are at the movies.. if I wait for him to find them, it'll be next Christmas.. LOL

We are finishing up our last leftovers today. Had the last of the lasagna earlier & we are finishing off the cheesecake as I type. (Well, there is ONE tiny piece left but it'll hardly be a taste...)

MY BABIES ARE HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!!!

DH ARRIVED TONIGHT FROM HUNTING CAMP ASKING ABOUT OUR BABIES. I told him no luck since he last checked in:-( So 9pm we drive to the Spot and he gets a long pole while I hid on the other side of dock with the net. He spooks them and 1 darted right at me. I snagged him tight in my left arm while crouching in a squated position-standing on two beams! He startles the other one at me and bam netted him too-We load them in the car one snuggled in my left arm as I drove stick shift to the house -Dh snuggled the other one while giving him the "what for lecture" and telling them that they made mommy and daddy very worried and to never do that again to us! We arrive two minutes later to the garage and there was Muffin waiting for them running in one spot so happy. We put them down in their run and all 3 ducks ran circles around eachother in such happiness to be reunited-then one of them jumped into the heated water bowl and that was that! thank you everyone for the well wishes and my babies safe return
