Gee, I was out of town the weekends this thread seemed to be active. I'm glad I caught it now. I have a way of getting overcommitted when I'm not looking, then rushing madly to get through a busy time and collapsing. Next week and the week after are one of those. busy, I mean.

I came home form work today and spent about an hour outside, sticking bulbs in the ground, pulling out weed ailanthus trees, and organizing my little patio.

My huge daphne bush smells just heavenly. I have soaked moonflower seeds ready to put into big planters there to grow over the ratty grapestick fence. Roses are mostly pruned and ready for summer.

I had to use my cane for arthritis over my last mad weekend holiday, and now my shoulder aches so I give myself permission to go use the hot tub at the Y and not use it (the shoulder) any more tonight, even to practice.

I am anxiety prone. Letting myself relax has been something I have had to learn as a grownup. Thanks for the reminder, Jerry.
