Veronica, I know JUST how you feel! My legs and back ache for days after a burst of work. I "should" do a smaller amount of work every other day, but this place where I spend 9-6 every week day seem to think they have first call on my time.

For me, it's new raised beds. "If I don't have time to weed and seed the beds I have, how can i make ANOTHER bed??"
Since I have to chop up the ground and make new soil from pure clay for each bed, making a new RB is not exactly an impulsive act. But I have two big new spots aching to be amended and built up. One place was weeded to within an inch of its life, and bushes chopped back. The other site used to be my back deck, but removing the rotted wood left so little that I had it all taken away, and now it wants 6-10" of soil to be created.
