I got up at 5:20 this morning to get some things done before it got really hot. I did some shopping, and got home just as it was getting daylight enough for me to work outside. I finished the mowing, got the watering system set up in the back yard, planted a few flowers, spread some eco-friendly ant killing stuff, and put diatameous earth on the garden. By 7:30 I was showered and dressed, ready for my usual Saturday activities – Farmer’s Market, thrift stores, etc.
It was a productive day but by noon I was settled into the air conditioning and haven’t ventured out other than to hang out clothes and get them in off the line.
I’ve been working on various projects all afternoon and evening, trying to get as much done as possible over the weekend when I’ve got big stretches of time to think and to get things done. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much time in my life to just have fun, or to take care of the basics of running a household like doing dishes or picking up clutter. But, so it goes. For the moment I need to make money, so that’s what I’m focused on. I’m just living in the mess and keeping my nose to the grindstone. And, being very thankful I have skills I can market. Very, very thankful.
Tomorrow I have to put the finishing touches on a speech I’m giving in July and get an article written. Glad I have another full day to think and write..
