Whew, that was a long week, but a good one. It started off incredibly productive, which is good, because by the end of it almost everybody in the house was feeling under the weather. Despite that we managed to get a bunch of things done that have been hanging around on my to-do list for months.

C and I managed to put some furniture together including our new table. With five at the table we just needed more space, and now we have the option of putting in extra leaves if we have company. Yay!

In addition to all of our regular house upkeep tasks, having extra help meant that we could get to some areas that I just run out of time for. I will need to do some intensive reorganization of a few areas before I am really happy with the common areas, but significant progress was made!

I also had time to sit and do some mending, which was awesome as my mending bag is also known as the place where things go to die. I actually like mending (though not hemming), it just always seems to be a lower priority then everything else on the list so it never gets done. [livejournal.com profile] cintyber now has 3 pieces of clothing back in circulation, but I am hopeful on getting a few more items out soon especially if I break out the sewing machine and manage a trip to Windsor Button soon.

C and I also did a bunch of gardening, which was very exciting. Marigolds were planted around the edge of the raised bed. The boxwood-like bushes were moved into a short hedge, which I hope to start training into shape this summer. All the rest of the offending shrubbery that the house seller put in the front yard was taken out, and some of it replanted elsewhere. Hopefully we will get the azaleas to [livejournal.com profile] dancer and [livejournal.com profile] tk7602 next week, but in the mean time we have them in temporary pots. Also almost all of the plants we bought last weekend were put in the ground, and we have started developing a game plan for what to plant elsewhere (more on that in the future).
