Shaping up

[livingdeb]

Today I learned that thirty minutes of scrubbing the floor counts as exercise. I know this because of how I feel the next day.

The house is really starting to shape up, too. I've been enjoying the clean kitchen with all working appliances by cooking in it (and cleaning up afterwards). I've been enjoying the clean dining room by playing big sprawling solitaire games on the table.

Robin continued his garage overhaul. And mowed the front yard. Heroic.

I worked in the yard for about an hour. Part of the yard looks nice. The sidewalk part! Actually, lots of nice things are blooming in the front yard. Most of these drought-tolerant plants are nevertheless lovers of rain and they are celebrating like crazy the rain of the last couple of weeks.

This evening we relaxed in front of an old favorite movie, "The Zero Effect." It's about a person who's amazingly good at his job (private investigation) and a mess in his personal life. It's silly and great fun.

I'm looking forward to seeing your house after all of the work you're putting in. Is it possible there's a party in your future? (A rhetorical question--I already know the answer.) That's about the only thing that gets me to do yard work.

The house still does not look good, unless you have tunnel vision aimed in the appropriate directions. But it is good enough to allow people into again.
