Yardwork.

Gah. I’m sore! Abs, arms, muscles I didn’t even know existed. Sore!

Beautiful day yesterday. I went jogging as usual and the dog and I took a new route. I stopped and let him Pee. He was peeing on some decorative grass. Just hoseing it down. . I think to myself , “ hey I have that same grass in my front yard (and) IS THAT HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK?!!” These were neat and tidy. Manicured.

Mine I haven’t touched since they were planted. Dead hardened blades, all over the place. I jogged home.

I then washed the cars. All of them. The entire time I was side-eyeing my own decorative grass. It bit me. I took hand shears, crawled in there and started cleaning them up. The project ballooned. I filled a green bin entirely. There was snipping, there was yanking, deep knee bends, long squat sessions ( see recent squat thread).

I had to take an Aleve to sleep. My arms were aching. I slept 9 hours!!

This morning I jogged slowly and deliberately. Took my usual route without the gardeners doing excellent work.

Too tired to take pics. I didn’t take a before pic anyways.

I want to hire a gardener, big time. But that money would go to a house cleaner first

Life is pretty good exercise!
