Clotheslines were pretty great. My drying rack in the tub is my substitute such as it is...

I too don't like too much in a day. Some people here seem to be trying to recreate work time with bookings all day, every day. No thanks!

Fun that your law school friend is coming. I bet she will love it there.

Manual labor day! My hands and feet are cramping! Drinking some electrolytes.

I planted my pot plants and replaced the irrigation doohickeys in them so they get more water. Then I used my new stirrup hoe to go after the second round of weeds in all the beds. Next up was cleaning up all the gardening stuff in the backyard in preparation for my new furniture tomorrow and using the blower to get all the dust, dog hair, leaves, and rocks off the patio. I put two new patio umbrellas together. And then I cleaned the bird poop off a deep window ledge and the rock wall in the outdoor kitchen. Birds like to sleep on one of the rocks at the top that has a little ledge. It's gross. So I scrubbed and rinsed and scrubbed and rinsed (and washed the patio table that's headed to the roof deck while I was at it). I got some bird spikes from Amazon that I need to stick up there when it dries. And now I sit and cramp... I'm so hoping I can pay the delivery guys to take my heavy old stuff upstairs. Otherwise, I guess I can put it all off to the side and ask the landscape guys if they would like the extra work. No chance I can do it.

Tomorrow will be busy - the window shade guy is coming, I need to tidy before then and before the RH guys also bring my new family room table with the outdoor stuff late afternoon. And I have an open HOA board meeting (cramping fingers and toes crossed "she" doesn't show up to make trouble). Then I shall crash!

Take care and hope you all had a good day!

You aren't kidding about manual labor! You got a lot done. Lot of work to get a home to the point where you can relax and enjoy it ****il the next project).
