I have finished the prairie garden
Everything is planted, cardboard is down, mulch is down, and my left hip hurts like hell. Related? I don't know.
I can tell one of the new plants is having a tough go. I was hoping a good rain would revive it, but we did not get a good rain. I did run the sprinkler on the plot last night, but a good rain shower is always better.
I have a box of pictures I don't know what to do with. When I taught I took a lot of photos of kids doing projects, at Halloween, and at a lot of other times during the year. Most of the pictures ended up in albums. Most of the albums have been "harvested" for former students I can still find.
But it has been 12 years. I need to get rid of the pictures. I actually put one album in the trash for about 15 seconds, then took it out again. I don't know why it is so hard to part with them.
Also in the closet and in a desk drawer were several cell phones, including a Samsung flip phone, 2 I phones, 6 camera disks, two rechargable batteries for a camera I no longer have, and one thumb drive. I found a website for selling some of the items....so we shall see! I will have to find a card reader to check the photo disks. I may be surprised.
And now, a TMI section. Jackie has to wear compression socks. My brother gave me a device that helps, but normal people putting on compression socks have an easier time than someone who can't move their legs very well, or at all.
So every morning I spend about 15 minutes swearing and moaning because my thumbs don't work, the socks are hard to grasp, I can't find the heel...among other problems.
Certainly gets my day off to a rocky start.
And speaking of rocky starts......a few weeks ago I mentioned the out of date margarine I tossed. Tonight I went to get some butter. We are out. No butter. No margarine. Hardly any milk. And I went to the store today.
A list is only helpful if you write things down on it.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Peace and Love
