I just did work that was different from what I'd been doing all week.
I took care of my zillion indoor plants, cleaned the house, baked some pretty focaccia with herbs and veggies harvested from the garden, cleared the storm debris from the driveway, planned BL's baby shower with them (end of September), celebrated AS's birthday in style, and tended to my three babies--Maxie, Huckie, and Nunie. (Have I mentioned that Nu sometimes calls Max "Maxi Pad?" Rude.)
And although my grandmother has been gone for many years, I always remember that today used to be her birthday...

Nice
That kind of work is my kind of work!!! I love it!
I love that photo! And, I agree with Nicole that that kind of work can be fun... but sometimes I don't feel like doing it after working at a "job" all week. So, good for you for getting so much done (instead of sitting on the couch reading and watching football, like me.)
🙏
It's so satisfying, Nicole!! It felt very homesteader-ish!
I know that feeling too... I'm glad I got things done yesterday when I did, Jenny... today was a complete wash.
That sounds like plenty of work to me. I hope it was satisfying.
I think it's still her birthday.
Thanks for that reminder, Steph--that's certainly the right way to think about it. I think I was thinking about it in the past tense because there are no celebrations and no one else seems to remember or remark upon it.
Sometimes a day catching up on life chores can be more exhausting than a day doing paid work!
"today used to be her birthday" I LOVE THIS FRAME
I actually enjoy it (sometimes even more than paid work, shhh!!) though!!
Sarah, that's how I thought at first, but then I was persuaded by what Steph said, and now I'm just confused.
