It was unbelievably hot out today, and I didn't get to some of the outdoor tasks I wanted to tackle. Sadly it's going to snow again in two days, so it looks like outdoor chores are going to be on hold for a while.
23. ✅ Cut down my neighbor's dead tree limb that overhangs the fence.
It took longer for me to get permission from my neighbor to do this than it actually took to do it. Ladder: check. Bow saw: check. No more getting poked in the forehead every time I walk around to the side of the house: check.
63. ✅ Reassemble the backseat.
I hadn't had a truly gross task yet. I was due. Last week my daughter got sick and threw up all over the backseat of my car. I mean all over. Two carseats, a booster seat, floor mats, a cargo net, seat cover, and the backs of the front seats. (And not to mention, all of the stuff I had in the back seat, like books, jackets, and other miscellaneous backseat junk.) It was all covered. That day I spent about 3 hours removing all of the junk, the carseats and booster, and the seat cover. Then I had to carefully take the upholstery off of the carseats themselves. I'll spare you the details, but then came the disgusting task of...cleaning up: scrubbing everything left in the car, running the carseat bits through the wash, cleaning out every little nook and cranny with toothpicks and Q-tips, etc. I'd been putting it off because it is a huge annoyance, but I finally put everything back together and back in the car today. It didn't take as long as it usually does--probably because I've done this so many times. But now the car is all put back together so the kids can ride along again.
