My aching back....

Crünchy ToastSince spring has finally decided to show up here at Castle Evil, I was able to do some yard work yesterday. So I raked the yard to get rid of the dead grass, hindered only by the rake breaking and a trip to the hardware store to replace it. The job got better after that since I had a more appropriate rake for the task. So after four and a half hours (I have a big lawn) I was finally done and spent the rest of the evening doing laundry and aching. I'm still aching today, though not nearly as much as last night or as was expecting. I need to get more exercise....

New Toy!

Crünchy ToastIn January my trusty Dell notebook died. Specifically, the power connector to the mother board stopped working so that I had no way to plug the computer in or recharge the battery. This, of course, rendered the machine unusable. So I have been reduced to sneaking blog entries on my computer at work during down times or on my desktop at home. Well no more! As of yesterday I'm the proud owner of a new MacBook.

Long, long weekend.

Crünchy ToastIt's time for an I had toast, it was crunchy post. I, like most others had a long weekend this past weekend. Though really my weekend started two days earlier than other. First, I had teachers' convention on Thursday and Friday. Though technically work, it doesn't really seem like it while you're trolling the trade show and sitting through sessions. Most of the sessions were OK, but a couple were quite good.
