Well not CLEANING, ew. But gardening yard stuff.

We planted two bushes and a new tree. Reran the irrigation system so they are all on the auto watering system. Mulched over all the new trees and bushes we moved around and put in this year. We did a few last weekend too! Worked on the greenhouse and got it set up with new misters to go with its sprayers. Then put a solar shade on top because the Co sun be fucking retarded. It really DOES want to kill you. 
I pressure washed the bird cage and cleaned it all up. T did his truck at the same time. I put some of my houseplants outside to enjoy the sun. They like it out there, I rotate who gets a jungle shower ( with the garden sprayer) and some sunlight for a few hours. Pruned a bunch of my bushes to clear out dead and kinda "shape them" better. 


Hmmmm.... OH we raked out and cleaned out the corner near the garden beds in the front. See its SOOO windy here, trash REALLY builds up, plus tumbleweeds an assorted bushes that dont anchor into the ground. They blow away. and collect in corners of fences. So that got cleaned out. I pulled strawberries from the bed and put them in some pots instead. 


We threw a roast on the BBQ to slow roast like a brisket. Figure on shredding it for sammys for dinner. Sometime, in a few hours. We are taking a sunlight break. Cant over heat. Seeing T's heart is acting up and my POTS is worse in the sun, we are like sunlight/heart break lmao. Come inside, the UV index is intense even though its only 80 out. So need some good qualify inside shade lmao. I even ate some dang top raman because it sounded good lol. Idk what is wrong with me. Salt cravings probably. With POTS, I keep the sodium higher then most people and if im having some moments where its not feeling good, i really do get into the salt. Thurs my work bestie and I were having days. I sat with her after our manager meeting while she cried. And I was just having a shit time with all the stuff going on at home. I told her lets go get emergency macdonalds. and we did, there and back and pigging out in 20 minutes ( all the time we had till her next session) Therapists are humans and they carry all the weight of their clients inside them too... And sometimes, yagirls need some damn over salted french fries and chickie nuggies. We both felt better. But then i realized how much im salt hounding. OH I also got a culvers drink this weekend, like a smoothie thing? IDK it was like the perfect slushie lemonaid with strawberry chunks in it, Dammmnnnn good. ( they also make the best cheesecake custard.

T's birthday is this week, I ordered him a custom made cheesecake ice cream cake from coldstone, a mini chainsaw for bush trimming ( thinking of camping really) and a grilling basket that you "rotate and roll" for kabobs or veggies. I thought he may like it seeing he does mushrooms peppers and onions in foil packets for on top of steaks or burgers. Idk he dosent love most of my gifts so I spent my 50 bucks and called it... Ill take the kids this week to pick a few things out at walmart for him. 


I know he is worried, he is on leave for 2 more weeks, then hes moving to get some ADA stuff at work to continue working from home and we will see how that goes. Im a bit worried about money. Co does have pd health leave so we will get that back payment and then his work has short term disability he qualifies for to round out his wages. our camping trip set us back a bit. But im worried what his job is going to look like when he goes back too. Like i feel like they are trying to push him out, but with ADA shit being requested ( and backed up by doctors) then they cant just fire him either. But it CAN get uncomfortable..

Sigh, I guess we will see in a few weeks. 
Well imma go and do some blanket squares.
