Aerial, Backyard, Easter, Good Friday, Weekend, Work Week, Yardwork

Hello everyone!!  I hope everyone had a great weekend and is looking forward to going back to work.  Me?  I had a great weekend but I am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.  I guess most of are not.

My wife is off all week next week for spring break.  I’d like to take off with her but I’m trying to save my time just in case I have to go back to the hospital.  If I have time I’ll take two weeks either in June or July to go on vacation with my family.  I could save my time and just get paid for it when I retire but my kids would be able to get out of school in August when I do retire.

This weekend was spent in my backyard doing some pruning.  I’ve let my backyard go for several years because simply I haven’t felt like doing any type of yard work.  So now I’m paying for it.  Shrubs have grown into trees so I’m back there with an electric chainsaw cutting everything down and dragging it to the street.  The chainsaw is only good for about two hours and as luck would have it, that’s about how long I can last without taking some sort of a break.  I got a lot done this weekend but I’ve still got a lot more to do.  Here’s an aerial view of my backyard.  Too bad I don’t have a before picture so you can see what I’ve done.

There’s an area just to the right and behind the white truck that I’ve cleaned out and to the right and behind the large bush directly behind the deck. I’ve cut down the large bush after this picture was taken.  The brush people will not be happy with me when they come and pick up the pile.  It’s enormous.

I hope everyone has a great week ahead.  I’m only working four days.  I’m off Good Friday.  All my kids are coming home so I’m planning on doing something with them on Saturday.  Sunday we’re spending it with my wife’s parents.  Lovely. (Insert sarcasm here)

My meds never came this weekend.  I guess a call to my oncologist will be in order for tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s Monday.  It was inevitable but I’m really not prepared for it to arrive so soon. It’s going to take me working eight weeks straight without taking off, excluding weekends, to make up for one week of vacation.  Doesn’t seem quite fair does it?  The way I look at it, the time I spent with my kids will be well worth the time that I’m going to have to work to recoup my time.

My vacation is officially over with and I’m already looking forward to next year when we will be going on my daughter’s senior trip.  It’s in the works and now that this years vacation is over with we can start getting serious with the planning.

On another note; I was able to ride a little over 25 miles this morning.  I was able to control my eating somewhat and hopefully I’ll be able to continue into next week.

“Life Goes On!”
