Ben Gay... I know you well...

Accidentally did three hours at the M-K house today. I heard the 12 o'clock whistle and thought "Oops!" I was ankle deep in poison ivy and only filled two garbage bags, but managed to clean out a lot. The boy scouts were there recently - and in the paper for it - cleaning out garbage from the grounds. They removed the swing set - good - but I found lots of garbage still there. Not impressed with their work and I have high standards. Hmph...

I untangled a big bush from a plethora of strangling vines and cut the stems of some vines strangling the trees there. Also unearthed some more nice plants in a small plot near the house. Not getting any thanks or recognition for this yet and on top of that, the organization I volunteer for is ticking me off for always relying on the same people all the time - me, hubby, etc. - and the aldermen are still delaying adopting my rewrite of the litter codes. Getting annoyed but still going...

My back kills right now but I can't put ben-gay on it b/c we are going to a fundraiser buffet at an historic Episcopal church in town. Our friends are members and even though we don't go there, they support good causes. We are walking there - ouch - but once we get home, I think it's ben-gay bath for moi!

Might close the pool tomorrow... if Millie ever gets off my lap!
