Fun and Active Weekend but So Tired!

catsittingstillI am dragging this morning. For several reasons involving caffeine abuse, gardening, and good company.
To unpack that a little: I went to visit Alice and Marie and Beth again, and to help fund my trip, Alice hired me to help her with some yardwork in a couple of yards.
So I got to try a rototiller for the first time, which was less scary and more easy than I thought it would be, but its handle is a bit on the low side. And I cut back some brush (the south is really jungle-like, you know?) and severely discouraged some bush/tree crosses and planted tomatoes and peppers and cucumbers and squash.
I might rent a rototiller if I want a truck garden this year. Or I might just knock together a raised bed and put dead leaves and grass clippings in it until it is full :-)
Marie gave me a workbench for Martin, which did fit in the car (whew). Alice gave me a jigsaw we found while cleaning out the shed; I will see if it works and if it does I will pass it on to Martin if he wants it.
I recorded a proof-of-concept ringtone while we were fooling around Friday night. I want to change it a little and re-record it in a quieter place and then I'll try putting up a ringtone and see if people like it enough to spend fifty cents on it.
And on the way back I listened to Quetico (over and over--my iPod is stuck on "repeat one" and I can't figure out how to change that: the icon that I tapped to change it before isn't visible anymore--so to change songs I have to do it manually) and I came up with an arrangement for it that I think is kind of interesting. I need to sit down and work with that a bit.
I kept waking up last night because of all the caffeine I consumed yesterday to stay awake for the drive. Fortunately I kept being able to go back to sleep. So I'm kind of tired--and stiff--this morning but not too bad.
And I seriously need to get to work on the canoe.
