It's nice to get a three day weekend, and I have been thinking about the freedoms we enjoy and those who fight to protect them. I'm grateful for them, because I know I wouldn't have the courage.
I got up this morning to walk -- oh yeah, I guess I haven't mentioned that yet, but I've been walking every morning with a lady who lives a couple houses down. Started the same day I started work. We walk for about a half hour, which at my speed is only about a mile. Still, it's good for me -- no matter how freaking difficult it is to get my eyes open all the way and push my body into motion every morning. I am SO not a morning person.
So, anyway, I got up to walk and then I spent three hours out in my garden. I found some big black plastic garbage bags so I cut them open for a ground cover to hopefully cut down on the weeding I'll have to do. I have six plants each of cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower that I got in, and my two tomatoe plants. I still need to plant the cucumbers, squash, and zuccini, but it's starting to get a little muggy outside and I'm really low on energy. I just realized I haven't eaten yet today, so that might have something to do with it... Either way, though, I'm bushed, and feeling really discouraged at how little I got done in three hours -- I am trying to listen more to the part of me that is glad of what I did get done, but it's hard not to swing back and forth, especially when my legs and back ache and I feel so heavy.
I might have to spend the rest of today working wth clay. :)

Go Charity, Go! Go Charity, Go!!! That's what little Colin would say to you.
Celebrate your victories! You got out in the garden, so what if you only got a little done. That just means you'll be motivated to go out and finish it soon. You will probably have more energy then and get more done. Good for you!
Did you see that I updated my blog? I have more to come, hopefully! If you're lucky, you'll get to see a picture of Colin's uber-decayed tooth. lol I guess, maybe I should say, if you're unlucky! It will probably have to come with a grossness warning....
