It's been another uber productive day(s)...

It started out with a phone call. One of those few mornings when the baby let me sleep past 6:50, the phone rang me out of a complete snooze. After breakfast at Dad's, we...

• took a trip to the bank
• fed the baby and put him to bed
• grabbed the chainsaw
• dug up a few bushes
• cut down/pulled down a few trees in the front yard
• swept leaves off the back porch
• filed and oiled the chainsaw
• cut down a few more trees
• which got stuck like a see-saw in the fork of another tree
• so we had to rope it and pull it back and forth to get it down
• which the neighbor thought was hilarious
• but he came to help anyway
• played lookout for Dad while he illegally shot the mistletoe out of the maple tree
• (he's inside the city limits now, so shooting, which was commonplace before, is taboo)
• arranged and transplanted the bushes into the front porch plant beds
• moved all the mums to the steps
• watered each one
• woke the baby up and fed him
• jumped into the van to run by work
• came back to finish working
• coiled the water hose
• picked up all the trash in the back yard
• which there was a lot of
• cleaned the trash off the back porch
• put all 6 trash cans (32-55 gal) at the back porch step
• chipped the ice from the chest freezer walls
• put up christmas tree lights
• typed a blog while eating Oreos
• which were bought by my best friend forever
• played with a baby that has found a 'spin wildly in place' gear

Which followed a day where I

• mowed/mulched the leaves in the front yard
• dishes
• laundry
• picked up the trash the dog left all over the kitchen as retribution for not letting her go on a ride in the van
• worked for money for a few hours cleaning tools out of a garage
• nursed the old man back to health
• used the telephone to straighten out all those nagging things that have been piling up
• played with a baby that has learned to give a zerbie
