Kicking my own a$z

Since my schedule was off for the week, I went to the gym this morning for my mile run (9:46).

This was followed immediately by two and a half hours of lawn mowning, limb trimming, and limb bundling. And I'm not even done bundling. I had to get showered and pick up the girls. I've got seven bundles and at least five more to make. When I say I was trimming limbs, that actually includes the cutting down of several small trees (~ 3 inches thick, as tall as 15 feet) that were along a fenceline and had been deemed future menaces in the making. If I ever own property in the vicinity of a mimosa again, you (yes, you) have my permission to shoot me.

Once I got the girls, we had to proceed immediately to a birthday party. It was a skate party, and I brought my rollerblades. So, after two hours of skating, and the fact that I had already been on my feet all day and ran a mile, I'm certain that if my feet could act autonomously, they'd want to kick me.
