I had a bunch of herbs potted that desperately needed to get in the ground and mulched esp since we prepped the ground.
I've been trying to for weeks, but ea time I have a few minutes to, the shovels have been at other houses. I finally got dh to bring them back today when he stopped by one of the rentals.
So, bright cookie went out in 90deg heat, 98% humidity while kiddo was napping. I spent only about 1.5 hours digging, weeding, planting, hauling woodchips. I didn't even get it all done, but I was absolutely pouring sweat, like more than I think someone is supposed to. I felt like I was going to pass out. I came in, puked a bit, took a very cold shower, and drank a shitton of water. I think I was shaky an hour or 2 after.
I'm glad I got it mostly in, but holy crap. Ikept telling myself to stop, but I just wanted to make a real dent in the project. I didn't tackle the indoor cleaning projects I wanted to though. I did some computer work for jobs instead, so at least nap wasn't wasted.
lol, the worst thing is, looking at it, what I did doesn't look very impressive. Looks like a few plants stuck in the ground. sweet.
I did that whilst painting two weeks ago. I was all engaged in what I was doing and just pushed on, and it was dumb. Then I ran to get the girls at camp, rather than drive. Now THAT was stupid!
