On Tuesday I wasn’t moving too fast. I got the post up, the kitchen cleaned up, and spent all too much time trying to fill out the Medicaid application. It’s not so much the filling out, as the collecting and copying of all the supporting paper. I got it about half done.

My helper friend arrived at 9:30AM and I sent him on errands. My #1 intern was moving even slower than I was and never arrived until 10:45AM. We finally made it out to the Big garden at 11AM and set to work mulching.

We moved the pile of mulch first and spread the rakings. There was enough to finish the garlic row. Then we brought in the last 5 bales from the driveway and this is only as far as they went.

We got cleaned up, got photos, and went inside. It was 12:30PM. I called the mulch hay guy and asked for 40 more bales. After my #1 intern left I just sat and rested until the hay guy came at 4PM.

We got the 20 bales unloaded and a couple had the strings break. He will be back with the other 20 on Thursday afternoon.

I was in bed at 8PM.

On Wednesday I have to clean up the kitchen, and get prepped for the window guy. I should also work on the MassHealth application. He arrives at 12:30PM for 4 hours. I hope to get all the windows in the 1st addition done. It’s to rain in the morning then turn nice.
