The plans were fine.

Even so, I decided to change them.  I wanted to work outside first.  I was worried it might be cold, perhaps rain, so I grabbed a jacket.  I did need that for a bit.

The first thing I started working was the raspberry bush plot.  Digging sod and weeds that were there or returned.  I got about half the way through, which was more work than I had thought it would be, before deciding to do something else for a change.  Then I tore a couple of boxes apart, spread them over the rhubarb (etc.) bed, put the plastic back over that, then used the tent spikes to hold that all together.  Finally I got the hose cart where I could use it, but first checked out a shorter but full rubber hose.  It was working, and allows me to put a sprinkler off it anywhere in that side yard, so put that on the cart first, then added the longer one, so as to put a sprinkler anywhere in the front or maybe back yard, depending on how I want to do things.  I then added a sprayer on the final section, hooked up the cart to the hydrant, and checked the whole system.  The cart connections still leak.  I'll try something later.  It's together and working, mostly, for now.  Oh, then I took the extended hose around and washed the side of my home I missed earlier.  Finally, I rolled the hose up on cart and moved it over out of the way.  Worth it?  I'm not absolutely sure.  Better for lighter, regular, garden hoses I think.  And while the leak isn't too bad, I would like to fix that.  It is annoying.

The work wore me well enough that I believed it time for a break.  Lunch, too.  A bite to eat and then watching stuff...  I'll probably wait another hour before getting back to it.  Oh... I will reset the laundry in the dryer though, and maybe kick that out while I am resting.  Then I'll go back out to finish the berry bed.  The real goals, as I see things today and now, is to finish the berry bed including putting cardboard and plastic over it, then do the worm bin, and finally finish the dishes and a couple of loads of laundry.  When I am finished with the outdoors, I will sweep the kitchen.  I've been dragging in bits and pieces of soil.  If I still have a bit more energy, later, a shower and maybe some work in the bedroom.

It's not heavy, or hard, but it is testing me.  I still think, perhaps, in time, I might make it to much better fitness and be able to do much more work in a day.  Though, truth be told, pushing, every day and every time, while laudable in ways and at times... leads to burnout.  I would like to... increase my capacity, be able to really push at times, and be able to work hard, heavy, and long when needed or even just wanted... and mostly on call... but I don't want to become a workaholic shell of a being either.  I've... known some of those.  They don't have time for family, or love, or themselves.  Even their time for God is... abbreviated so as to get back to work.  A prison, of sorts.

It is wonderful to be working, more, and getting real things done.  I have plans, and more work than I can really do in any easy foreseeable future.  Some of it... a new floor in the kitchen, and back hallways... completing the en suit... a new furnace and air conditioning, and a few other things... I... just don't know.  Big, little, pricey, seasonal, trees in and out, branches cut, cleaning, sorting, storing, tossing...  Wonderful.  I love to be right where I am, living my little life, figuring out problems even if it takes me years...  Wonderful.  I hope you enjoy your puzzle that is life, at least often enough to make playing at it worth the time and much more.  Good morning and day.
