Wednesday:

-- try real real hard to remember that the farrier is coming to trim the horses this afternoon. SO FAR, SO GOOD

-- stop waffling about whether to tackle painting the textured ceiling this week -- either conclusively decide not to, or go to paint store and get necessary stuff and figure out what taping to do and how ceiling fan detaches. DONE -- got paint, will use it first thing tomorrow morning, eep

-- paint underside of dog agility boards, and put in backyard. DONE

-- plant the rest of the beans, darnit!!!!!

1. Sign language class with Aeryn - done, we never miss that
2. Grocery shopping - done
3. Weed the garden - half done
4. A load each of laundry and dishes - done
Well it feels good to basically cross a bunch of stuff off a to-do list, even if I was going easy on myself today :)

Here's tomorrow:
1. finish weeding
2. build trellis' for beans and peas before they are growing across the yard
3. harvest rhubarb and process into jam and sauce, I'm hoping for 24 pints of each but won't finish those all tomorrow... that depends on the rhubarb.
4. help Aeryn practise walking, try drawing, sing some songs, give her a bath, dance around the living room, read a book, and have her try a new food.

Oh, wow, I do, how did you know? Thank you for reminding me! :lol:

(usually I don't have to remember -- my husband comes home a couple hours early to watch the kids while I'm out in the barn, so that sort of automatically reminds me -- but with him not coming home at the moment ahem, I gotta not space out and do something dumb like take the kids to the park after school :p)

I'm taking a break. I've been really working hard. Today, I started getting all the old, compacted manure out of the stalls. I had already gotten all the loose stuff out, that was easy! This is hard. I couldn't work at it as long as I wanted to since RU is away, and I had to feed her horses, but I got about 1/2 of Stormy's stall done. And, it's the hardest half. The rest, I did partially last year, so hopefully, I'll get it all finished by Friday afternoon when I'm ready to leave.

-Sort out the laundry and get it in the machine DONE
-Go for a walk (or, alternatively, go to the garden plots) Sorta done. I went for a walk, but didn't make it to the garden.
-Fold washing DONE
-Make a second sour dough loaf and leave to rise Change of plan. I'm leaving the starter sponge to develop flavor for a few days, and I'll bake the loaf for lunch on Sunday.
-Hope the sun comes out My hoping seems to have succeeded, but not very well. The sun is weak and watery, and usually overpowered by clouds.

-Wash the cover of the kitchen fan (if possible)

-Wash that darn crockpot again (I see you there, mocking me...)

-Clean around the sink
