breakinglight11 | Home to help out

I am at home in Pennsylvania for the week. I like being at home now and again because life is less busy, but this won't be a vacation. I've specifically set aside this time to help my mom and dad out with various labor-intensive chores around the house. We're going to be staining the deck, washing all the windows, and weeding all the landscaping beds, plus anything else that occurs to them. I am glad to be able to help them out, and I need physical labor to do on a regular basis to feel comfortable in my skin. So much of my life involves brain work, and that I find much more exhausting than anything physical. Chores are a good change for me to switch gears regularly and get off my ass, get some exercise, and give my mind a break. Also, my parents are amazing cooks, so I will be paid in excellent meals for my effort. Back to my usual grind this weekend. ;-)
