We tend to count most things that aren't "sitting and staring at a screen" as accomplishments. Sometimes we'll count that, too, depending what it is. So yeah, you were super productive! Good work! That gravel sifting sounds like a major pain in the neck.

Thanks for your acknowledgment of my accomplishments :D It must be worth something that I was more proud of my pretty toenails than of my lettering work on Saturday. Maybe because at that point work was still in-progress; today I reached a "finish" point so it feels a little more worthwhile.

Gravel sifting was indeed a pain. I got impatient after digging a couple holes, so I found easier spots to plant the rest of the ferns. But later that night I filled a big bowl with water and scrubbed some of the sifted rocks with an old toothbrush to make them shiny and clean and pretty. That felt like an accomplishment too!
