Lately I’m being held together by essentially duct tape (athletic braces and tape) but I muddle through and get stuff done.  The walking round trip is getting harder, but at least the scenery is gorgeous, and I’m seriously losing weight now (made it to 121).  All the gardening and housework helps.  Speaking of which…

We actually got a break in the soggy weather yesterday; it was a cool, breezy, sunny day.  I transplanted the basils into the herb garden: Tulsi/holy, dark opal, Thai, Genovese, and sweet Italian.  That made A happy.  I moved the tiny tomato/pepper seedlings into the sun to hopefully get some growth on.  I weeded half the veg garden again, to find my reseeded rows coming up.  All the potatoes, corn, and beans are showing!  I cleaned up more areas of the jungly yard to reveal yet more beneficial perennials.  And lots of other misc. I can’t remember.

After my free food delivery this morning, much of which I’ll be able to share with the family, I’ll walk back over to do erev preps.  I don’t mind being tired, because I feel useful, and I owe Avdi big time.  And the benefits make it all worthwhile.
