Good heavens, it's already been a crazy busy day. I hit the gardens up early this morning because once the sun is high in the sky and it's hot, no work can really be done in a garden. Work has been insanely busy, and we picked up a last minute client this week (but it's a small garden and should be relatively easy). I'm just feeling exhausted. Carrying the brunt of the load of this business (because my mentor is elderly) is really, really tiring. add that to everything else I do and this is the time of year that I cannot catch my breath and I feel like I'm doing ten things at once, Like right now, I'm on the phone with Veterans Affairs for a family friend (I'm better at navigating phone systems) and trying to type up this post.
The weather: Things just keep warming up! High 70's are slated for this week, and some pretty high thunderstorm chances. It's supposed to cool down some by next week, and I'm grateful for it. But tomorrow and Wednesday look like decent gardening days. I should be done with the majority of all planting by then.
As I look outside my window: Blue sky, little white clouds, and a breeze in the trees. If I wasn't so stressed out by work, I feel like I'd appreciate it more.
Right now, I am: Typing up this post and finally getting somewhere with Veterans Affairs, whew!
Thinking and pondering: That this week is already crazy stressful and it's only Monday.
Listening to: The fan. Music. The clack of the keys. My big windchime outside.
How I am feeling: Stressed out. Kind of mad that people don't seem to understand that I am literally one human being who cannot be everything to everybody.
On the breakfast plate: I had coffee and a granola bar in the garden.
On the lunch plate: A can of Progresso Vegetable soup (the only one I like)
On the dinner plate: Bacon Fried Rice.
What I'm wearing: Rolled up sweats and a purple tank top. (Today's garden uniform). I'm probably going to change as soon as I walk the dog.
On my reading pile this week: I'm nearly done with "The Lost Apothecary" and then I'll pick something else, depending on how badly it messes with my emotions, ha.
On my TV this week: Crime Scene Kitchen, Cruel Summer, and I'm almost done with Moesha. I started The Apology on Hulu but haven't had any time to get into it.
On the menu this week:
Monday: Bacon Fried Rice
Tuesday: Chicken Gnocchi Skillet
Wednesday: Swedish Meatballs, Egg Noodles
Thursday: Breakfast for Dinner
Friday: Crockpot Taco Soup
Saturday: Chicken and Couscous, veggies.
Sunday: Rotini Pizza Skillet
Looking around the house: I'm trying my best not to let little things overwhelm me, but it's hard because my nerves are already so frazzled. I definitely need to vacuum, at the very least.
To do list: Cook dinner, vacuum, organize clothes.
From the camera:
Goose, face painted, hair all static-y from the slide. Childhood at its finest!
Devotional, Scripture, Thoughts: I was reading about Isaac's search for a wife in the Bible and about how much faith was required there. Do I have that kind of faith? Honestly, that's a tough question.
Have a great week!
