Days 10, 11, & 12

Tuesday - Went to work from 4:30-8 and loaded and unloaded a couple carts filled with books, lifting them above the waist onto the conveyor belt, then sorted like a crazy person onto the shelves. Thanks to trying to get my paper written for 650, I didn't get to the actual workout, but I'm still claiming a workout with all the lifting. 

Wednesday - Spent the afternoon finishing the paper, then went to work from 5-8 and sorted some more. Thanks to stress, instead of working out, I came home and had popcorn and wine for dinner, then fell into bed. I'm claiming this as an off day, and I'll work out on Saturday instead.

Thursday - Thank God for days off. I didn't attempt my usual workout, instead I decided to tackle the yard before it got too hot. In the area next to the driveway, the old owner planted copious amounts of ferns, which I detest, so I spent the better part of the morning digging up those stupid plants, along with many thistles, and transplanted some of the tulips that were trying to grow among the ferns. Below are the before and after shots for those that care.

Then mom called and informed me she was home from work, so I could come dig up and transplant the bleeding heart bush from her yard to ours. There's also some coleus waiting for me, but it's going where the ferns currently are, and since I'm too worn out to finish today (and I ran out of space in the garbage can), I'll have to go get it another time, as I don't want it to sit in a pot and die while waiting for planting. I do, however, need to go clean up my mess. There's also bowling later tonight, so not only did I get a workout in gardening, I'll be getting a workout then, too.
