8-10-11 plantings

I woke up at dawn today and went to my rental home to do more cleaning.   It rained while I was there yesterday, so I ran outside and made cuttings of  two bushes and stuck them in the planter out front. This morning I took over some spider plants and mondo grass and a garden hose and this is the result.  It’s my hope that while it’s raining, the cuttings will stay damp enough to take root.  I watered them in real well and will take over some mulch later on.    I’d brought over my vacuum and my friend Tod left his mega carpet shampooer and I spent the morning vaccuming and using the carpet shampooer.  I’m still running out of steam early but I’m making progress.  This week I’ve found physical resources I didn’t know I had and that’s always empowering.

Last Monday I had a 24 hour tummy thang that left me very low energy on the 2 days afterward when I had to keep going back and forth to deal with the painter at the rental home.  It was all I could do to stay vertical last week as I recuped.  Then Monday I got nicotine poisoning which is like having a tummy flu while you’re taking speed, all agitated and nervous and oh yes, I got to drool for 2 days as well.  Lovely!

Yesterday I spent all day cleaning (ok, also singing and dancing to the radio I brought) and came home completely spent and crashed early.   I’m coming out of the nauseous and headachy and drooly part of the poisoning.   My energy will come back soon enough, I’m drinking lots of water and I began eating yesterday.  Eating is good!  Heck, if this keeps up, I’ll be at my high school weight by the time this place is rented.
