Good to hear from you, Andrea! You'll have a lifetime supply of sweaters at this rate!

Kat, how many people and how many hours was that job going to take? Isn't there a high school kid on the block you can hire to come in and tackle it? It might take him longer, and you want to be sure the job is safe, but have him work with you and see what happens.

That said, I have to mow the weeds again and begin cutting out some of the shrubs I've decided I don't want to leave where they are. Lantana comes up every year in a spot that is a little crowded now the vitex is getting big, so I'll trim out two of the three plants. And I'll start digging a bed and toss the sod into the compost (minus any dirt I can shake off).

Four days off. My abbreviated spring break. Let's see what I can get done in that time.

First, to research the problems with my washer and fridge. . .
