... I wonder if you didn't have your Diary thread, if you would have accomplished so much?
I most definitely use this diary to make myself get things done. When I put something in writing, I feel bound to do it. It's like keeping a promise, or being dishonest and admitting character flaws if you don't. It's a mental trick I guess. Ha!
There are a few projects,
very few, that I'm just itching to do. There are many more that I don't like doing, like this hedge chopping, but it HAS to be done! It's embarrassing that I let it get out of hand like this, but I just didn't have it all together last summer---all the sudden having to change routines and cope with two households.
Doing these things is great exercise, and I
should do them and not hire jobs out as long as I am able. Many members here are not able to do these things for health reasons, and that makes me feel bad talking about this stuff sometimes, like I'm bragging. I'm not at all. (Who would brag about trimming goat hooves or shoveling manure?)
I really appreciate feedback. Don't expect praise. Just a cup of coffee, or a picture of
cattywampus is really nice.
I'm on a break right now, waiting for the shade to get around to that side of the house.
