Last weekend I bought 2 tonnes of rocks and 3 cubic metres of mulch and had it dumped on my driveway. I wanted to repave the side walkway and the under the house garden walk. I had rocks and mulch delivered at 2pm and by 6pm the driveway was clear for Rob to return home from work and drive through. I used our neighbours wheelbarrow and made hundreds of little trips all over the yard to complete it in time. It looks great now. I was so totally buggered though, that when Rocci wanted me to tuck him in bed, I denied him a kiss goodnight as I couldn't bend over anymore. I was expecting to wake up the next morning with stiffness and aches but nothing, so I did the painting instead. I thought maybe I would get delayed soreness, but the next day, nothing.......I weeded instead. (2 car loads of full). The soreness still didn't arrive. Thinking that perhaps I really was a wonder woman attempting daring feats of strength... my week continued in the same way.....until today. After picking up Robbie from school I once again donned the finery that is yard work wear and began to do attempt twighlight mowing. Alas, half way through the steep hill mowing, I nearly passed out, aching muscles, headache, shaking, and dizziness. I suppose I should just take a break now. My Wonder Woman powers seem to need a recharge.
