just as i wrote earlier, i raked and bagged the remaining leaves on our lawn. i didn't realize there was still that much because i filled all 10 bags, and still had to use one regular trash bag for some leaves i gathered at the back of the house. i started just after 1:30pm and stopped at 4:20, and had about 2 10-minute breaks. one was when i crossed over to our neighbors, who were also bagging their leaves, to wish them a happy thanksgiving. next was when R came home from school. we had a small talk before he went into the house.
i didn't realize how tired and thirsty i was until i got inside the house. my backside was hurting. my arms were hurting; can barely lift them. my back was hurting. my shoulders were hurting my legs(knees) were hurting. i'm almost incapacitated once again... i also had 2 papercuts from the bags... one was between my thumb and point finger, and the other was under the nail of my middle finger... ouch!!!
when i went in, there was a message from hubby so i called. said he might come home earlier than usual... called back 10-15 minutes later to confirm he'll come home early. i told him i'm too tired and hurting to prepare anything for dinner and clean up afterwards. i suggested mcdonald's so off we went to mcd's after i picked him up...
i watched kid nation and criminal minds before i took a shower, which made me feel so much better, the shower, that is... tonight's episode of criminal minds was one of the best i've watched so far... love, love, love that show... i was really sad when mandy patinkin left the show. i thought he was a good fit and his character was different, but i'm starting to warm up to joe mantegna...
i'm so tired and sleepy... i'm off... g'night, people...
