Ron cleaned and inspected ALL the gutters at Dixon, and did some anchoring as well.
I mowed the front, to get rid of leaves more than for any other reason.
Picked the remaining Swiss chard and lettuce from the garden. Nice to have fresh vegetables at the end of December. I immolated some otherwise very good chicken sausages for supper.
Was able to pay the property taxes for Dixon from our earnings. Ron is off to work today. We have a plan to rinse recyclables at the bakery, using the Oakland recycling bin and a single-use honey container.
Great weather yesterday but I was in a horrible mood nonetheless, snapped at Ron a couple of times. Was in a lot of pain from sitting too much at Thanksgiving: 6 hours and my back and hands were killing me. I would have been much better off if I’d been permitted to wash the dishes and soak my poor hands in hot water for an hour or so. I’ve always hated that pseudo-martyrly, snotty, patronizing phrase “Just sit down and enjoy yourself.” Next year, I’ll honor my instincts and do things differently. Today, I’m feeling much better.
