Spring Sprung

Today was the first day that spring felt like it pretty much took off finally. My neighbourhood came alive like an anthill that someone pissed on, absolutely crawling with furious activity. I slept in to 8am to offset staying up until high noon the previous night.

Quick tangent, an enhancement to the online gaming/video chat experiences of the previous post is watching a movie with friends while on a video call. Five of us got together and watched the 1990 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on YouTube. It is a mostly visual film that we’d all seen so we just enjoyed laughing at the old style, hair and overall plot. It was time well spent.

Back to the tale at hand, I started late but came out of the gate strong. Showered, started laundry and recorded a chapter of Sand Dune Pony before breakfast. Then I cooked a pan of white cheddar perogies to perfection. I ate them on a freshly scrubbed and washed patio table outside to enjoy the fresh morning. I dipped them lightly in some Kraft Bacon Ranch dressing to deepen the flavour on my handy side plate. Delightful. And I gained some leftovers out of the effort.

It was so nice outside that I donned shorts and cleaned up the property. I stopped short of cutting the grass like everyone else did, my lawn is hurting currently. I need to clean up the weeds and also apply some fertilizer. I aired out my house by opening all the windows and doors for four hours, leaving everything smelling fresh. I closed it all up as everyone started cutting grass so I didn’t have that overpowering stench permeating my abode. I was able to get all the rugs vacuumed up, removing old wintery dusts, etc. I also washed all the bedding in the home to continue on the freshness/renewal theme. Something really got into me today and drove me to get after it, I had about five hours of high productivity before settling back to enjoy the fruits of my labours.
