Sluggish start to my day

I got up this morning, and I couldn't get started.  Nothing was wrong, I just seemed draggy. So I didn't do anything other than a couple loads of laundry.

Then about noon, I decided to finish packing away the summer clothes. It was almost all done, but I had a few items that I gathered after most of it was done. I got that done, then went through my shoes and pulled out a bunch to give to the thrift shop. While I was doing that, I also went through the closet again and pulled out another dozen items to donate, as well. And finally, I went through my coat closet and pulled out a half dozen coast, sweaters and jackets to donate.

With the tubs packed, I moved them under the house in the storage area and put the two of donations in the truck. While I was there at the truck, I looked at my garden and it was pretty dry. I decided to water it. It is still not terribly cold, and in fact, the temperature was in the mid 60s, so I thought it would be a good idea.

After that was done, I drained the hoses. I haven't put them away yet, in case I use them again before a serious temperature drop, but I do drain them so the water doesn't freeze in them. Then I noticed that one of my small run-off ditches near the well house had flattened out and was allowing the water to run across the driveway and causing a rut in it. I got a hoe and a spade and cleaned it out and made it deeper to contain the run-off. It didn't take very long, but I worked up a good sweat, nonetheless. I hope it is deep enough to last the winter. I don't want to have to try to do it again when the ground is frozen! Then I filled a couple buckets and brought them to the house to water my houseplants.

Since the living room floor was clear again, I vacuumed the whole house and straighten a little. I still have more to do in that area, but it looks a lot better. I unloaded the dishwasher,  and washed several more loads of clothes.

I wish I didn't get such a slow start to the day.
