You have been so crazy busy. It sounds like you have a lot to show for it😄
ReplyDeleteI hope you can have a little breather now. I’ll bet you are asking yourself when you ever had time for that job you used to have!!! 🤪
I am working 2 days a week now for 5 hours each day helping an elderly gentlemen. I do light cleaning, cooking, take him food shopping and out and about. It has been really nice. The home improvement fund is at $0 so we have to save up $ before we can do anything else. Right now I need to focus on the garden.
DeleteWow, you accomplished so much in June. Kudos to you. I would be counting yard work as exercise too. :)
ReplyDeleteI know why farmers are in such good shape. I only do a few hours a day and am exhausted. And I do it in the early morning and evening. I'm not doing it during the hottest part of the day.
