Well, got a lot of little things done today. I would've gotten some of the bigger jobs done, but I was waiting for my brother to come down and finally - around five - he called and said he'd decided to wait until the weekend.

Hmm.

So anyway, tomorrow I'll rake out the remainder of the leaves from the hedge, cut down the now frozen off flower beds, pick up the remaining summer things from the yard and give the yard a final mowing. Oh, and I have to run out and get a pickup load of straw for the rose gardens. And put the fencing around said gardens to hold the straw.

Then I've got two small trees left to cut down and cut up. And stack.

And finish washing the windows and putting plastic over them.

And probably a hundred other things that I'll think of as I'm doing the rest.

This year, I wanted the yard to be completely cleaned up before the snow comes - and I may be getting a bit obsessive about it.

Maybe a lot obsessive.

Like running out and picking up any stray leaves by hand type obsessive.

Maybe it's a good thing NaNo is coming up. :p

You should see my To Do list for Friday. Everything I'd normally have done on a weekend, plus some extras! I want to concentrate on the writing all weekend! :D

Yeah, NaNo will cure you of the picking up leaves thing. You'll look up and think "why is it so dark? Oh there's a huge drift of leaves blocking the window!" :D

Okay, you two have made me feel rather relieved I'm not doing NaNo... I just would not have enough time. I think I managed it in 2006 because I had the excuse that I was preggers and so needed to put my feet up whilst my son napped :D and the house work could wait.

I'm stressed enough as it is at the moment... I really don't think I would have been a winner this year :o(

And I'm not doing that again either!!!!!!

Either pregnant, or rich enough to have someone to clean your home... look after your kids...
