The thrill of accomplishment

I'm exhausted! The weather was so nice today that I had to get some outside chores done before it gets cold. I finished painting the dog house. My motivation there was I didn't want 1/2 a can of paint sitting around all winter going bad. And, yes, the dog house does look better.

Then I decided to haul all my canned goods under the house. I ran out of daylight so they are not organized under there, but at least they are out of the house and the hard part is done.

I got thinking that if we still had our old house, today would have been the day that I climb on the roof and winterize my roof. I would also be winterizing my deck about now too. NO, I didn't miss doing those chores this year.

My motivation to get some stuff done was that I get to have lunch with my friends tomorrow. And we all know the rule; you have to get your chores done before you can play. I am stiff and sore and tired but won't feel one ache when I am enjoying lunch tomorrow.
