Boy, I am pooped today.
Day started out horribly. I had been meaning to mow the lawn, which had gotten really high, very fast due to all the rain + sun. Went and got gas for the mower, made sure the tank was topped off, got on and went to start it...and it wouldn't start. Sounded like the battery was dying.
Now the mower was in an odd place in the garage...I tried dragging it out (it's a riding mower). I moved it a little bit. Called some old neighbors, who said if I ever needed help, to call them. I've never jumped a mower before, so wasn't sure what to do. Anyway, they called some of my other neighbors, and a couple of the men came over and pulled out the mower, hooked it up, and jumped it for me. That did the trick and it started.
Then one of the men proceeded to cut my lawn for me, which I thought was very nice of him, especially since he'd been in the process of mowing his own lawn when he came over to help me.
Then I had some errands out on the town, had to pick up the box springs for my new mattress for the guest room. Got that home, and drug it in by myself and got it and the mattress on the guest bed.
Got through with that, and was just settling down and my dog started barking ferociously at the door. I hear a knock.
Some of my OTHER neighbors had come over to help secure the big gate on my fence that is faulty and would come open every time it stormed and the wind blew a bit. I was soooo grateful, since I couldn't budge the gate myself.
It just made me so grateful to those neighbors. And the one couple who fixed the gate, when they found out I was going to have a baby, said to come over and take my pick of their baby stuff since they weren't going to need it any longer (they'd had their last kid).
Somewhere in-between all that, I managed to get my kitchen semi-clean, and swept and mopped the floors. Spring Fever. It's on me (and I think everyone else, too).
Oh yeah, and thank goodness for nice neighbors!
So now I'm pooped. It's been a busy day. Tomorrow will be much quieter, since it's supposed to rain.
