unicorndukewhen I was working at my previous job, I had been worried I had lost my work ethic, I didn't like working long hours and I didn't really feel motivated or like I was working that hard.
good news is that I was wrong. I do still have a work ethic and can work hard. bad news is that I'm working very hard.
today is technically my day off, we aren't open, we don't have groups out, we don't have workers so we can really be off work. I sprayed weeds in the blueberries all this morning with the backpack sprayer which is sweaty irritating work. I have to walk up and down each row of blueberries on both sides and carefully spot spray each weed (horsenettles were the big one to hit right now, but milkweed, knotweed, bindweed, ground elder are also big). the perennials are hard to get when we're open for customers because of re-entry intervals, so we're closed tomorrow too.
Then I went down to the creek, took some lunch and sat in the water for an hour. read a book. enjoyed the cool
We got a lot of stuff done this past week and had an enjoyable family party where I stayed up until midnight around the campfire chatting with my cousin, my gay cousin, gousin who is a delight and also a soil scientist. good stuff. also got some vegetables planted in extra plastic we laid for squash, so I'm pleased I'll have some stuff. I will plant some more things since there's still another 100 feet open.
I'm spending this afternoon goofing off and doing fun stuff, then groceries first thing tomorrow then back to work work. Thursday night, I have dinner planned with a friend.
Before we get wildly busy with fall stuff, I want to take a trip away, maybe late august when everyone will be getting back to school. I'm thinking somewhere cooler, like the adirondacks or maine or something. maybe see if my sister wants to come along. This needs to be planned between my parents hopefully going somewhere and the open house they're going to have with the event business. As I checked my calendar, it looks like there's an SCA event I wanted to go to late in August, so maybe I'll roll that in somehow. Might be the wrong direction but worth a look.
