Why hello there, pain-free knees!

I'm doing much better this morning! My hips are still a little achy, but my knees feel pretty good and I don't have that all over pain that I did yesterday. Thank goodness!

I'm hoping I continue to feel well because if I do, and the weather isn't too horribly hot this weekend I have plans to work on my yard. It is, in my opinion, the nastiest yard on the block. At least as far as yards that can be seen from the street go.

When we bought the place back in 2001 it was in horrible disrepair. I'm pretty sure the guy who owned it before us was batshit crazy. He'd torn down walls and then built half walls in a few of the rooms. He used some sort of nasty thick foam glue to put up sheets of styrofoam and the garage and yard were absolutely full of junk. Big junk, little trashy things like empty laundry soap bottles and cardboard boxes. I wish I could say that we've since taken care of anything and I have just upkeep to do, but that's not the case. There's still all sorts of junk that was left behind, only now there's our junk that needs to be gotten rid of as well. We had two trees fall a couple of years ago and though I cut them up and stacked them, they're an eyesore and I want to get rid of them.

Anyway, enough rambling. I mainly want to get a few bags of trash bagged up and try to kind of make a few piles for future disposal. I've thought about renting one of those large dumpsters, but they're really expensive! Since that's not really an option at the moment I told my husband that I'm going to start throwing away at least two bags of garbage from the yard every week until it's gone. It'll take awhile, but at least it's proactive instead of letting it just sit there!

I hope everyone has a nice weekend. I'd like to catch some of you in chat one of these days but I keep missing everyone!
