Sleeping and waking up in my own bed today. A pretty good feeling and some good rest. I slept like a rock when I hit the sheets. It was nice to be away but nothing like home.
Days of work await because things don’t stop because I was away. The grass continues to grow, bills come in, home maintenance needs continue to build. And I still have a smile on my face even though I can see I’m going to be beat at the end of the weekend.
I’ve spent a few hours cutting grass and weeding till lunchtime and I’m sore already. Plus, two other injuries of late have this body feeling the pain again. Well, it’s mind over matter today. I’m going to power through.
But first I am going to take a break and put my feet on the gas and clutch on the Miata. And remind myself how much my tires like a warm track and some great rock and roll. YEEE HA. Don’t worry, I’ll calm down a bit before engaging gears. That shower revived the body a bit. Time to free the mind.
It feels so good also to have taken a break from writing and it feels great to be back to it. A change of perspective is sometimes helpful.

You’re ahead of me. The stuff that passes for grass around here is turning green, but It doesn’t have to be cut, yet.

This was my second cut. It grows like weeds. Upon closer inspection they are weeds.

Haha – our yard is full of weeds, but the bunnies love them.
