Brianna listened to an audiobook today, and apparently felt she could only listen to it while working, and wanted to listen to it as long as possible. She did an amazing amount of work - I'll have to put that book on repeat.
Brianna made pancakes for breakfast, finished taping the kitchen trim, cleaned the kitchen (several times), mowed the lawn, vacuumed, mopped, did two loads of laundry (and folded them!) and cooked a roast chicken today. Pretty great work.
Brianna's brother is currently between houses, and we are taking care of his lawnmower for him. We went to Lowes today to buy a new spark plug for it, got that installed and poured in some new gas. The lawnmower took some coaxing to actually start, though. Brianna came out to see if the mower was ready, and I told her "I'm starting to get worried this thing won't start today". Of course, the very next time I pulled the cord, it started right up.
On a related note, Bob the cat brought us a dead mouse earlier this week, and Brianna found a few more in the yard today. A closer inspection of the garage revealed a LOT of mouse droppings along the walls, so I spent a good chunk of time emptying the garage, sweeping everything out and putting things back in their places. Did not find any more mice or anything resembling a nest, so maybe Bob took care of the problem for us. We laid out a few traps as a safeguard.
