Ok, I admit I overdid it

I was feeling quite good today so first I supervised the filling of my new vegie garden.  I didn't lift any bags, I just did a bit of light raking (garden is 4ft x 3ft, not half an acre.  Then I went to speak with my uncle about my dissertation for next year.  Got nowhere with him, he is 80, suffers from narcolepsy and kept falling asleep halfway through a sentence.  Then I did a quick shop, went to the uni to take library books back.  Came home, my uncle had given me some agapanthus to plant in pots so I had to put them in buckets for tonight because I can't lift the dirt into the pots and my son was at work.  Then I thought I would vacuum and mop the floors.  That just about wiped me out.  Felt a bit funny after that so fortunately my mum appeared having brought my son home from work and she made tea for me.  When she left I thought oh, I'll just go and plant those vegies, no energy required for that.  I planted peas, squash and cucumbers, put sugar cane mulch around them and then watered the entire garden front and back.  My arm has gone pins and needles.  I'm so annoyed at this body that won't get on with it and heal in a hurry.  I did say at the very beginning that I'm not a good patient  lol. So the question now is, will my son make dinner or will we have pizza, maccas or fish n chips?

    Yep, we do.  Next time you're down here or I'm up that way we will do that Jodie :)  I'm in Brisbane Wed this week to Wed next week but lunch is taken on the run in these things so I couldn't promise to be in any particular place at a given time  but I'm always going up and down to Brissie so we can make it happen.

    Yep the chips were the saving grace last night.  The fish, supposedly Snapper was overcooked and the batter was sloppy.  If it was a Snapper then I'm an Aardvark.  My ex was a keen fisherman so we caught and ate a lot of fish.  Time to find a new Fish n Chips shop. :)
