Over hill, over dale ... and sand in my sandals?

Well, I guess that's why they're called sandals, huh?

Anyway, the day was mostly nondescript, with me in bed sleeping and napping and not doing anything. Breakfast was the leftover twice baked 'tater and roasted vidalia onion from the bbq. Well, I do have to finish the stuff up. I think there's still salad, chicken carcass and dessert left.

Even though John had said he'd help me with the plants when he returned from the island around 6, I could tell from his IM status that he hadn't gone out. But I was tired, so needed to nap till 7. Then, everybody's calling me at the same time (okay, so only M and John - but one after the other). M is much (much, I tell you) too distracted by the Tour de France (oh, joy NOT) right now, so I guess I get slotted in between commercials. Nah, I'm not feeling neglected. After all, if it were an SGA Marathon or something musical, I'd probably be the same way. And John called to ask if I wanted to do the plants in 10 minutes. Of course, I do.

We met around 7:30 and it didn't take long to reposition them. The important thing was to put all the herbs around the perimeter (so I can reach them to cut them) and the flowers and cypress in the middle, where the only thing that has to reach them is the hose. Yaaay. That didn't take long at all.

After that, I wanted to sit outside and talk so we did go through the dilapidated mesh barrier and down and up the hill over to the seawall. And ... WTF ... major abdominal pain. Okay, I get it now. My non-existent abs do not like hills. Or anything energetic. But it was delightful to be sitting by the lake and there were a couple of swan families that swam by. I've missed them, but they've stayed away from all the construction (duh, obviously). When the sun was setting, we had to move, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see my way back up the hill. And, once again, the pain. Which miraculously disappeared once I was back inside seated in front of my computer in my leather executive chair (and fluffy bed pillow). Okay, body, why are you driving me crazy?

I finished off the organic cherries (which were worth the extra cost, as I told John they'd been picked by Angels) and had a bagel and cream cheese for dinner. Okay, so I'm mixed up on the eating front today.

Anyway, I can't stay up all hours of the night because there's church in the morning. I guess I'd better go organise my purse NOW.

Semi-nature-loving hugs to all,
H.
...and I can't believe how well the lazy mood captures my exact symptoms!!!!!
