UEA Weekend

It is UEA weekend and instead of taking off and playing, I decided to get a bunch of stuff done to lessen the stress in my life.  Heather and Brittany (bless their little hearts) came and helped me put away my patio furniture before the "real" snow flies.  We took a lot of "my junk" from my storage shed and put it out for the trash pickup, knowing that most of it would get "picked up" by others instead.  We put out a gas BBQ grill, a lawnmower, a bunch of exercise equipment, a basketball standard, a table frame, bean bags, cardboard storage boxes, a bunch of rebar and metal pipes, RR ties, sawhorses used for cutting wood, wooden pallet, and scraps of wood.  People were coming by and taking it before we finished at dark.  By noon today, most everything but the broken wood and cardboard was gone.  One man's trash is another man's treasure!  Anyway, the tramp is down and put away and all the furniture stashed away.  I'm running some errands today, cleaning the house, working on school stuff (way too many hours spent on this), doing laundry, etc.  I also slept in today - what a nice change that was.  I am getting stuff done and it is helping to relieve the load on my shoulders.  I've spent too much time today on my blog, so I've got to get busy with other things, at least until dark :-)
