SPACE Work and Watering

Friday was a very slow day. We walked of course, and the only work that I did was to water most of the garden beds. I did all those I didn’t do on Friday on Saturday morning after our morning walk. It was cloudy on both days, and rain is in the forecast for the coming week. THANK GOD!!!

I read and did work for SPACE. I’m perhaps at my best with SPACE doing writing and editing, and there were lots of both to do on Friday. And although I love reading, I was sad to be rapidly approaching the end of my last Kate Atkinson book about P.I. Jackson Brodie. However, I have her book, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, to read.

I shopped a little on both days, but little was accomplished in the way of work in the yard and gardens on Friday. It’s become rather chilly again. It was 11° when we went out for our morning walk on both mornings, and it’s the sunshine that gets me into high gear for yard and garden work.

Saturday, after I finished watering all the garden beds, I went to Sandy’s place. She’s my neighbour and she’s becoming a regular lunch date for me. We go to the Surf. On Saturday, she had a plant sale, so off I went and I came home with some good plants to help fill the blank spaces in my beds. I like chaotic beds, chock full of plants. Sandy likes space between plants and order. 

The sun came out in the afternoon, but did I do work? No. I did not, and I have over twenty plants to put into the garden. Perhaps today, my mojo will return and I’ll get at least some of them into the beds. Yesterday, I’ve no idea why, but I just couldn’t muster the drive to work. Sigh. But we had great walks and I finished my book.

Late in the afternoon, my mojo returned, but it was too late in the day to get much done. However, the front yard is whacked. The weeds were thirty centimetres tall or more, so Pinecone Park looks far more cared for now when it is viewed from the street. I have plans for more work today.

Sadly, the rain predicted for the coming week is gone from the forecast. Damn! The good news in the weather is that it’s going to be sunny but not hot. The highs will be in the high teens or 20°, and that’s a lovely and comfortable temperature zone.

My plan is to get some of the very many plants that I’ve purchased recently into the garden today. It’s cloudy this morning, and 10°. It’s chilly in the house, and because it’s My Day, I’m going to light the fire to warm things up a little after I post this morning. My Day is for self-indulgence.

I don’t see Dr. S. this week, but I do next week, and I plan to go back to once a month again. I feel stable now, but speech is very definitely much harder now than in was prior to the end of March. But I am not complaining because I rarely have seizures during these heavenly endless days alone.

But Beth is coming this Summer, and Steve, and Dwight has been ruminating on coming to visit. And in August, I go do Di’s for Ashlee’s wedding. I’m looking forward to all my visits with friends.
