I Sleep All Night, And I Work All Day

Here's what I did this week:

• worked
• ate lots of snacks
• worked more
• watched loads and loads of Monty Python programming on IFC, which is why I keep singing the Lumberjack Song
• slept very well

And this weekend is mostly spent in the backyard, with brief excursions online to blog, pay bills, and tend my virtual farms in Farmtown and Farmville. I did my gardening math homework, made a shopping list and went to the farm and feed store, where I bought such lovely items as

• worm poop
• blood meal
• bone meal 
• Sustane organic fertilizer
• diatomaceous earth (took me a minute to type that correctly)
• humate soil conditioner, to loosen the brick factory clay that is my backyard
• and six huge bags of compost

Came back home with all these goodies, and set my seedlings out into the wonderful October sunshine. Reseeded the dead spots in the lawn, broke down the summer veggies' raised bed, and picked a bucket of apples. Left to do today and tomorrow: set up a new raised bed with all the freshly purchased goodies, transplant the seedlings from the seed tray into their own pots, and add compost and fertilizer to the strips of dirt in front of the house, all the while thoroughly ruining what's left of my manicure.

Oh, it was already getting skanky. I just finished the ruining of it that had already been underway; it was great fun. (I love digging in the dirt with my bare hands. Gloves are for girls.)

Oh wait ...
