This is going to be such a beautiful week.
I want to get out and trim the bushes, cut the grass, build some raised garden beds, plant flowers and vegetables, and clear out the garage.
Fibromyalgia is laughing at me, pointing and saying ... "you wanna do what?"
This is my third summer in my current home. The first summer, I fell and knocked myself out - giving myself a severe concussion. I couldn't do any of those new home remolding/renovation activities that I love. My second summer, I ruptured my Achille's tendon in a couple of places and underwent surgery. All I could do is watch the weeds grow. This summer, I am recovering from total hip replacement surgery buuuuuut I'm determined that I'm going to have the yard of my dreams. I need somewhere peaceful to sit and watch the world go by.
I interviewed a landscaping company; they do my neighbor's yard every week. Their prices are reasonable, so I hired them. Well, they were supposed to begin working last Friday. They did the neighbor's yard like usual but didn't do my yard. So now I'm looking for a new landscaper. As for my flowers and veggies, I'm going to do a little bit at a time. Today I'm going to go buy perennials, so I don't have to plant flowers every year. Tomorrow I will prepare the pots.
