Oh boy. Had a couple of friends coming for the weekend. Cleaned like a fiend all day Thursday and Friday. Had my regular work out on Friday morning. They arrived on Friday evening. The gal and I were planning on making hypertufa planters for my front porch. We needed 8 feet of them so it was going to be hard work. We worked really really hard for about 6 hours, then we all took a long walk around the downtown area. Then we went to the Italian place. I had eggplant parmigiana and it was damn good. I didn't regret it all.

More hypertufa this morning (we mixed 94 lbs of Portland cement with vermiculite, peat, topsoil, and perlite by hand). More hard work. More walking. Mexican food for lunch.

I have a feeling the hard work and walks will NOT offset the food. I'm feeling bloated and extremely sore and tired. If I've lost any, I'll be real surprised.
