  I spent a solid hour in the backyard. It does look a little better, but I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to need to roto-till and replant to make it look any good. Still, it was good to get outside and do something rather than sit on my ass. I also cleaned up the kitchen completely, which was even easier than I thought it would be. The front yard should be pretty easy - I'll do that tomorrow night after work.
