Better today

It is amazing what some good ok alone time can do for the spirit. I retread yesterday's post and thought wow better shake that off.
The gardening helped. I am on a get rid of the weeds mission in the front garden. I have seeds for other plants but they are not going in the grounds this year. So I raked up a bunch of old mulch and re-sprayed all the weeded areas. The oleander that looked like it wasn't going to make the winter is doing superb. I am not sure the sheets i use to protect it over the cold winter months will be large enough. The lantana is doing what it does every year - flourishing. And now I have these dahlias. They are crazy tall and keep falling over. Not too sure what the approach to them is supposed to be.
Upon potting the lantana I also managed to throw some black and green basil seed in a pot. We shall see what happens there.
And then I moved inside. It took a better part of the day to clean around the house - dishes, dog corner, paperwork. All sorts of stuff. Feel like it is not that case at the moment but... I know it was time well spent.
Lastly I exercised. Without a race in the future I feel a sense of freedom when it comes to the calorie burn. Weight Watchers was acknowledging the half way mark of the activity campaign so I thought I would do some of their exercises. Unfortunately the video piece wasnt working all that well so it ended up being their arm routine and fitness blenders cardio and an routine.
From there I stopped by to see a friend. Grabbed a roasted chicken at the grocery store.
Sat down and had some chicken legs and fake potatoes (I purée cauliflower, cannellini beans and garlic) and used my Waterford water decanter to hydrate.
I was in bed by 9. A storm rolled in at 10.
I was up by 6:30
I guess I needed the rest.
