What a day today. So busy and full of things to do.

My husband decided he wanted to go for a walk today to go get special glue I needed to build the ramp. Spur of the moment, I decided that I should go with him as he wouldn't know what to get. He wanted to take empties back to the beer store as well, so we walked down and found some more. I thought we were going to go straight home after doing this, but we wandered off on a pathway, finding more empties, and just kept going. I haven't figured how long we walked, but we were out for about 3 hours, that includes getting lost so close to home. I'm so used to driving everywhere that I forgot what it was like to walk through nature. We found a lot of empties through the path areas, I'm glad we did, as we have built up some more for the next run to the store. After coming home, I decided it was time to cut the board for the ramp, I had said that I'd be doing that this weekend, so I did. Not including breaks, it took about half an hour to saw through a 5/8" MDF board with a drywall saw. No one had a power saw that I could borrow today, so I had to do this manually. It was interesting to say the least, but definitely a good workout. My roommate cut the carpet and glued it on to the board, screwed in one end of it so it would adhere properly while the glue dries. Now I'm waiting for the glue to set so I can get this into use on the stairs for the dog. I still have to figure out how to keep it from slipping without having to stand on it while waiting for the dog to use it, but I'll figure that one out at some point. Unless I'm at work, I don't get such a good workout like I did today, but this one was definitely worth it.
