Next time my lawn needs mowed, would one of you volunteer?

I have one of the worst lawns to mow! It's big, it's uneven, and, most fun of all, it's almost all sloped. Oh, and pushing the lawnmower is like pushing the big fin-tailed Caddie my mom used to have! I just did a little over half of it, and I just cannot do any more right now, unless I want to kill myself trying. So I'm praying to the Rain Gods that they hold off dumping too much rain until after I can finish it tomorrow.

Now I'm going to go have a nice cold :beer: (of water).

5. Sure, thanks!

Actually, Mr. SG usually does the mowing, especially the first one of the year, but he is still recovering from surgery, and hasn't even been able to make it through a whole day of work yet (and he has a desk job), so for him to even attempt it is out of the question.

One thing I will say though -- it's a hell of an intense workout! :hi:

9. Your poor hubby

I hope he's better soon.

Yeah, mine keeps trying to sell me on the exercise benefits, too.

12. He and I both hope he gets better

It's driving him crazy, not to be able to do much. And he was feeling guilty, but I told him he had absolutely no reason to feel that way. The doc said he lost a significant amount of blood during surgery, so that explains the continuing weakness and lack of energy over 2 weeks after.

Thanks for the nice thought.
