This week has been short and long at the same time. I had Good Friday off, and since the kids had school I took full advantage and worked extensively around the house while Beth rested. I got 8 feet of retaining wall in and level...seems the trick is to get the base level, and after that it's easy. Hard work though. I also saved (spent) big money for some lawn stuff, and got the front yard raked and fertilized. While I was at it, I also raked up a lot of moss in the backyard and re-seeded. I've got the straw on and the sprinkler running a lot. Saturday Beth and I had a date night, but as lousy as Beth's been feeling lately we didn't really do much. We went out to dinner (Beth couldn't eat much or anything), got the Easter basket stuff for the kids, got a haircut for me...and that was about all she could take. Early night. Today is Easter, of course, so Beth was at church early, but otherwise about all we could do is take it easy.
