I've been busy busy busy...yesterday, I raked the whole lawn and
cleaned out flower beds around the house. I raked from 9:00a.m. until
3:30p.m. I got it done. 11 bags of leaves later! My hands are all
puffed up and I can hardly open and close them. My back and arms and
hands hurt so bad today, I can hardly move. I'm going to crack open
my bottle of Alleve right now!

You must have a big yard and *lots* of trees.


I loved raking yesterday. It was hard work, but, it was probably our
last warm weather day of the year. Temps were up in the mid-60's.
Simply a gorgeous fall day. I didn't want to miss any of it by being
in the house. I didn't miss a thing. Fresh air all day long. Good
hard work! I slept better last night than I have in a long time.
Physical work makes for good sleep!

Physical work is great, but I'm getting kind of old and decrepit. I
bought 60 new daffodil bulbs this year. Not gonna do *that* again.
Phew. My dirt is crap - heavy clay. I had to dig a whole bunch of
that out to mix it with purchased soil and peat moss. None of that
worked out very well. I need a mixing machine to throw it all in to
break up the clay and mix it with the good stuff. After working on
digging out a large patch (I have old bulbs all over the bed so can't
use a rototiller) I finally had to turn the job over to my GMF. Now,
this isn't the best idea in the world because lots of the old
daffodils are coming up. GMF is a farmer so has absolutely no respect
for individual plants (he deals in millions of cotton plants so
stepping on some means nothing). So, I have to carefully monitor him.

Anyways...no smoking for me. The only breaks I got yesterday were
coffee breaks! Nice not to have to stop and smoke!

I dunno. That was always such a good excuse. ;o)


Here are my stats:

Two months, two weeks, six days, 23 hours, 15 minutes and 21 seconds.
1639 cigarettes not smoked, saving $491.81. Life saved: 5 days, 16
hours, 35 minutes.

Excellent meter!

To all of the new smokers out there. It gets so much easier. It gets
better :) I'm living proof!

Off and running!
