unixronin: Pissed-off avatar (Pissed off)

Yesterday, in addition to usual stuff around the house, I took my new (and newly sharpened) mattock out into the front yard and dug up the azalea root system from hell that I broke my WW2 entrenching tool on last weekend.  Then, a bit later, I put boots on, took the Fiskars Brush Hook of Doom that [livejournal.com profile] perspicuity gave me, and chopped out the extensive patch of rhododendron that [livejournal.com profile] cymrullewes had decided Had To Go from the top of the driveway.  (The roots still need digging out.  Man, that stuff is pernicious.  ...No offense, Pernicious.)  Then later on again, I got a third coat of polyurethane stain/finish onto the main deck rail.

Productive, sure.  But today my left foot hurts so much I can hardly walk.

This gets so frustrating.  The knowledge that I’ll be mostly chairbound the next day is just one more obstacle in the way of getting so many things done.

Still, most of today has been pouring rain, so at least the ground where the rhododendron was should be nice and soft when I go back out on the weekend to start digging the roots up.
