Short post today...you'll be grateful! LOL!

I've been pretty energetic lately but yesterday was a struggle and today I am really tired.  Not much to show but then painting is like a slow boat to China.  I think I'm done with the door frame....it was just a re-coat.  I could use a new storm door as it is black that is fading and bare metal in parts but it's functional and they are expensive...for me anyway.
 This is the side of the shed I had already painted 3 coats on but it could use another.  When you stand at a distance you can't tell but close up you can.  We'll see how far I get this Fall before it's too cold to paint outside..
This is the first coat on the other side....pretty awful isn't it? LOL!  I'm tuckered out today so we'll see if I get any painting done at all. 
YESTERDAY I:
emptied and relined all the garbages
took the garbage out to the street and back
painted (hopefully) the last coat on the front door frame except for the sill...almost forgot
picked, hung, and washed a load of laundry
cleaned up the house and kitchen (dishes, dishwasher, sink and counters etc.)
painted the shed
cleaned the litter box
blogged and read some
searched for fabric for Amanda's birthday purse and ended up sending a photo of the one she liked to The Fat Quarter Shop to see if they could find the fabric or something similar.  They have great customer service!
knitted some on Christmas present and finished one section of it
no crocheting just read and went to bed

Happy Trails!

    1. Well, it caught up to me yesterday and I ended up taking a 2 hour nap and didn't feel very perky at all. So, needless to say I had nothing to blog about today! LOL!

  2. Listen to your body and rest when necessary. You won't get anything done if you wear yourself out. :)

  3. I second Tammy, sounds like you need a few hours with your feet up. Gosh you've been busy! Painting outside here would be hard work too as it's raining all the time, it's been a pretty wet summer and when it comes to Autumn it will rain soms more....that's Wales for you!

    1. Hi Faith! How are you? It's the first time here it hasn't rained or been in 90's with in sufferable humidity so I am tried to "make hay while the sun shines" so to speak as the heat is coming back next week. Rain would be a nice excuse but then I would have to mow again...Ha! Ha! I'll be glad when Fall is here...summer is not my favorite anymore. I'll have to stop by and see what you've been up to!

  6. You sure get a lot done! I need to start keeping a list of what I do. Since my surgery, it seems like I don't get anything done. Kick back. Read a book and rest for a day or two and you'll be up going again.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. We have only have a small number of days when it's not too hot or isn't raining so that's why I push myself but I did crash yesterday but slowly but surely I will get things done outside so I can enjoy the Fall and Winter....my favs!

  7. Well, no wonder you are tuckered out. My goodness, lady. You do more in a single day that I can accomplish in a week. Rest up for a couple of days and take it easy. Then you'll be at it again.
    Hugs,
    Sharon
