Plans for Wednesday

It's unusual for me to have two days off in a row, but since I've got them, I hope to get more accomplished than usual.

I'd like very much to get my back porch in good order so that maybe I can have people over for a get-together from time to time. My house is very small, so folks would have to go out on the porches at least some of the time. Getting the back porch, which is large, cleaned up and arranged so that it's inviting is a major goal of mine.

With the high heat and humidity we've had lately, I figure I'm sweating off the pounds as good as any phentermine pills could do. Naturally, I'm careful to stay hydrated and to go back inside to cool off before I overheat. Still, there's a lot of sweat work involved with working outdoors this time of year. The payoff is that my home will be welcoming and inviting both inside and out.

Now to get a lawnmower! I really want one of those old-fashioned push mowers that operates manually instead of using gas. They are quieter and don't require any fossil fuels or electricity to operate. No carbon emissions, either. My yard isn't very large, so I think it would work out just fine.
