8-10-11 plantings<\/p><\/div>\n

I woke up at dawn today and went to my rental home<\/a> to do more cleaning. \u00a0 It rained while I was there yesterday, so I ran outside and made cuttings of \u00a0two 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. \u00a0It’s my hope that while it’s raining, the cuttings will stay damp enough to take root. \u00a0I watered them in real well and will take over some mulch later on. \u00a0 \u00a0I’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. \u00a0I’m still running out of steam early but I’m making progress. \u00a0This week I’ve found physical resources I didn’t know I had and that’s always empowering.<\/p>\n

Last Monday I had a 24 hour tummy thang<\/a> 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. \u00a0It was all I could do to stay vertical last week as I recuped. \u00a0Then Monday I got nicotine poisoning<\/a> 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. \u00a0Lovely!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I spent all day cleaning (ok, also singing and dancing to the radio I brought) and came home completely spent and crashed early. \u00a0\u00a0I’m coming out of the nauseous and headachy and drooly part of the poisoning. \u00a0 My energy will come back soon enough, I’m drinking lots of water and I began eating yesterday. \u00a0Eating is good! \u00a0Heck, if this keeps up, I’ll be at my high school weight by the time this place is rented.<\/p>\n
