Getting there, but bushed!

Today was the day that would be reminiscent of what the goats have coming (as opposed to what the sheep can expect! LOL!).

When I got to the house, I dug out the flatbed, which is a chore in itself. I built my garage as a "drive-through" so I could keep the flatbed trailer in the back yard. Getting it out to use it entails moving the boat out of the garage and dropping that trailer out on the street, then backing through the garage and hooking up to the flatbed, moving it out and dropping it on the street, hooking back up to the boat trailer and backing it back into the garage, and then hooking up the flatbed and backing it back into the driveway. Now, all by itself, that's usually about a half an hours worth! Anyway, when I got done with that, I mowed the yard front and back, and then ran the weedeater all over the yard. Mind you, it's already about 250 degrees in the shade, so THAT got me sweating a bit! After I cooled off a bit, I finished the trim work in the bathroom, caulked and primed all of it. I'll do the finish coat tomorrow. When I got done with that, I cleaned up the mess in the living room (it's where I'd been doing all of my sawing and mitering) and started loading stuff onto the flatbed. I simply loaded all of the tools I'd been using into a box and put that in the truck. Then I broke down the sleigh bed in the back bedroom and loaded the matresses and bed pieces onto the trailer. Next came the armoir. Now, my armoir is large - it can be used as a TV cabinet or as a clothes closet. It almost killed me to move it, but I got it done without dieing! Then I loaded up my dresser, which is also very large and heavy. Oh, I also loaded my sawhorses, the dining room table (with the 4 chairs that go with it), and a box full of bathroom stuff. Now, I've unloaded all of that at my new abode and I'm once again cooling off. Tomorrow is another day - I think I'll move something HEAVY tomorrow! LOL!
