Sunny with a side of tired

My world has had rain and then more rain. Today its total sunshine. Might get to the mid 60s. Tomorrow: rain. I went to the pool on Tuesday. My mind says I should go again today. BUT: sunshine. I am staying home and putting my energy into property projects. Bird feeder needs to be filled. Grow bags need to be filled with dirt. When the ground night dew has dried I need to mow. The weeds and grass are knee high due to all the rain. Hubby says he will help. At least he is willing to give it a go. I won't get a tenth of what needs doing done- nine thousand square feet of ground? Nope on getting everything done. My main focus is getting ready for when we can at last start planting summer stuff like tomatoes and green beans. For now I am content with my granola and boiled egg and thinking about getting the bird seed out to the feeder. My weight continues to go down. I am just over a month into managing my cravings. I've said bye bye to about eight pounds. Yes to chocolate- Hershey's Kisses are good for me cause they are individually wrapped. Couple in my mouth and done.

Congratulations on losing eight pounds. It sounds like you have a lot of outdoor work to keep you busy and get the natural Vitamin D we all need.

@just4him Thanks. I love gardens and green growing anything but have to go easy due to pain and never waking rested.

@just4him Agreed. Gardening is what kicks me into exercising. I even got in a little mowing today before rain started.

Congrats on the weight loss. My husband likes the Hershey Kisses too. He doesn't eat as much chocolate that way and he gives them to the nurses and aides at the rehab facility. Have a good day.

Our son gave us the weather forecast, as if I hadn’t been keeping tabs on it Like you, I have so many plans the day after we get home, but will do what I can. So much to do, and so little time! Congratulations on the weight loss! I was never as thin as I was after last summer’s gardening. My friends thought I was too thin. Is there such a thing? Not in my book!

@DianneN Yes there is too thin. Anoxeria is not pretty. I am having this discussion/argument with my husband currently. Shoulder bones sticking out is not sexy.

@Dena91 Thanks. I did! This place is big enough that it never looks like much gets done. I had a little fun hoeing out and making the perennial geranium bed look nice.

@grenery8 Hubby did help me. Just like when we were younger he helped me dump dirt into grow bags- not easy cause the bag of dirt is heavy and grow bags are easily bent.

Glad you're getting sun. You deserve it. We all need that sometimes. Yes. A couple pieces of chocolate won't kill your diet. It's even good to endulage as long as you keep it small. People tend to stick to a weight loss plan, as long as they can endulage in cravings every so often.

Our landlord mowed yesterday, first day we didn't get rain! It's beautiful today, maybe 58degrees. I bought a store bought roma tomato this morning, it won't be flavorful like your home-grown tomatoes!
