Saturday
Sometimes, I feel like I am not making much progress. People say that is because I have too many projects. I counter by saying I need several so that I can move from one to another if I hit a roadblock on the first one. And there are a lot of roadblocks these days. The old rule, don't let the immediate get in the way of the important sure seems illogical right now. The immediate is important. Like the coffeepot this morning instead of mowing grass. Another thing with that old saying is that it ignores the heat and old age. At a feel like of 104F, I am sure going to have to stop often and not use the same muscles too much. Stupid old saying. Yeah, I am feeling grumpy.
Well, I am going to just keep working a little every day and hope I stay ahead of the weeds. I am not getting my garden planted. At this point, I just need to work on that fence line. Once it is all planted, hopefully, it won't be a constant eyesore.
The yard guy is working out. He is weed wacking the back yard. I had been keeping it mowed, but suddenly, it was out of control. Lots of rain. Well, hopefully, we will enter the dry season soon.
I did move dinner to 4:30 pm, so I could get a couple of hours of time in the yard. A later dinner just didn't give me any time to do stuff in the less hot part of the day. I also have moved hubs up time to 6 am, so I can get out to walk earlier. He grumped about it for awhile, but finally grasped how hot it was in the middle of the day.
