What I Should Be Doing

I really ought to be cleaning up around the house right now. We've got it listed, and there's even a sign in the front yard. We didn't get that far last time.

I got up late this morning (as usual), and I basically got a slow start. Most of the house is mostly clean. Mostly. The outside of the place, though? shudder

I've never liked doing the outside work. I don't have the patience for gardening. Mowing the lawn gives me allergy problems. Snow blowing--fuggedabowdit. And yet, today we need to finish raking up the leaves in the yard and add them to the burn pile. (Oo, a conflagration!) We need to pick up all the bark left behind after splitting our winter's wood and add that to the burn pile as well. A dog-doo patrol is probably in order.

Matt is at work until 3:30 today, and I think I may boycott anything more until he gets here. I believe in equal opportunities for men and women, don't you?
