So yeah, the past week hasn’t been the greatest. I am feeling super overwhelmed with all that is going on with and inside the world and I have hit a mental wall. And I know that I am not the only one. All the things…It’s a lot. So that is where I am at right now. A stressed out mental trash can. But I am trying to be positive so yeah….😐
But the week was not all doom and gloom and anger and stress. It started with a kayak on a pond which is the best way to start a week. After the yak we set up camp, went for a hike, ate soup, then slept under the stars. Woke up and walked the darkness then drank all the coffee before heading back to town.
The rest of the week was and happened. Took Barb to the farm to pick tomatoes and flowers. Walked around a lot looking at all the summer flowers. Spent a good amount of time icing my back because I am old now and I guess sometimes the wrong movement will pinch a nerve. Also the heat and humidity that has been plaguing us has kept me cranky and not at all helped my body in any way. But even tough my back was killing me and I was hot to the point of melting I still went for a bike ride to Moms with Barb, picked up watermelon at farm share, and went for a walk with Shannon. I tried to sit at my wheel, and I did manage to trim a few pots, but other then that, the pain in the back won out so not much got done. And so it goes.
Sunday. Off to the woods. Looks like the hurricane that is hitting the east coast will not be effecting us too much until tomorrow so we are heading out for the next 24 hours which is good because I really need the quiet and peace of the trees.
