It was…so goddamn hot today.
And I worked outside. Like a BOSS. For a couple hours. Woke up early and shoveled gravel to clear the space where we’re putting our shed, and then I went to home depot, rented a truck, bought the lumber we needed to make a frame for the gravel base we’re putting this shed on, drove that home and dropped it off, returned the truck (thirty minutes early!), got the rest of the supplies that I needed in order to put the frame together…
Took a shower. Went with Bear to Coco’s treadmill. Came home and took a goddamn nap.
I was back up just in time to spend about another 45 minutes outside at dusk and turn over about half the soil that I’ll be leveling tomorrow. Never done that before; either “turning over” soil or leveling it. I want to finish that in the morning, build the frame and then hopefully move all the gravel over…but we’ll see. We’ll see how it goes.
Woke up with my neck hurting, and I recognized it from last time that it was stress-induced. I’ve been going at it too hard. Trying to get too much done and stressing over whatever I haven’t been able to finish. And it was actually a nice little sign from my body that I just need to chill the fuck out, stop worrying so much, and let go. It’s not even that I need to not be productive. It’s not that at all, actually; it’s that I need to get my mind right. I’m holding too tight. Stressing over things that don’t need to be stressed over. Just…relax. Don’t hold it all in so tight.
And I did that today. Happy to report that my neck feels fine, again. It worked. I was actually super productive today AND I calmed down. I wish I could do that all the time.
Night night.
