On a health journey (with support from doctors, a dietician, and a great support system) and want to document the things I do every day to improve.
Day 41:

Not every day can be good. One of the quail didn't make it. I buried her beneath our new apple tree. I also cleaned their whole hutch and got medicated food in case it was a parasite thing.

Everyone else seems OK. Fingers crossed.

Day 40:

The quail arrived! Spent some time getting to know them.

Knit night was good too. We were a little rowdy, must be the weather. I also helped someone with their e spinner!

Day 39:

Tilled the in ground plot and planted brassicas. Also got the notif that the quail are on their way!

Definitely feeling stronger from all the regular work. I'm also proud of myself for not overdoing it. I just pick a thing to tackle every day instead of doing everything at once.

Day 38:

Every day is a garden day. I dumped more dirt in the herb garden and built the arch over the entrance. It looks so magical!

I also added some little fishes to our mini pond. They're very shy but I hope they'll start coming out more when it's warmer.

Day 37:

I made some garden magic happen! And my neighbor gave me a whole ass rototiller so I can till the area I'm going to have an in ground garden bed.

It's amazing how much things have changed in a few weeks. The backyard went from bare to some solid bones of a decent garden.

Day 36:

Last min tattoo! I love flash events!

Also got to spend time with my friend and her family. It was fun to get to see their family dynamic AND we watched a ghibli in their very cool home theater.

Day 35:

Got to volunteer and learn about a children's grief support charity. Really incredible stuff!

Also enjoyed knit group. Made sweater progress!

Day 33:

I got an extra day working at home this week. I took it as a full day of rest. No outside work, just playin games and relaxing.

I also made this great soup using turkey carcass that needed to get out of my freezer. Sooo good.
March 20, 2025 at 10:15 AM
Day 32:

Felt good to get groceries and finally feel back on track. I like the options I picked this week.

Trying to not overdo the outside work during the week. Just a little at a time. Reminding myself that it's okay that I'm "off schedule" this year. I'm building a whole garden!

Day 31:

Storm was pretty nasty but the tarps held up.

My spouse and I tackled dish mountain together and it was kind of nice? We played music and laughed and fooled around. The time passes by faster with good company.
March 17, 2025 at 11:02 PM
Day 30:

Spent a ton of time outside moving dirt around. My drill broke and I bought an upgrade. I feel like a big boy now.

Concerned about the storm, but what can you do?
March 17, 2025 at 11:01 PM
Day 29:

The soil delivery arrived and spent so much time outside moving it around.

Also checked out a different greenhouse and got a great deal on some early spring veggies/fruits/herbs!

Going to be a busy weekend.
March 15, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Day 28:

Dirt order placed ✅️
Back yard organized ✅️
Ready for it to be warmer ✅️✅️✅️

Day 27:

Took an emergency half day to be supportive of my other half.

Built the beds for behind the house and I'm losing my mind. It's all coming together!!
March 13, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Day 26:

My glasses broke as soon as I got to work. So yeah. That happened.

Continued my working outside, things are going smoother now that I don't have to worry about the dang greenhouse.
March 13, 2025 at 1:26 PM
Day 25:

After work I got a decent amount of work done outside, mostly doing boring but necessary jobs. Things are coming together!

My love brought me home a shamrock shake which certainly shamrock shook my tummy but was a nice way to end the day.
March 11, 2025 at 12:09 PM
Day 24:

Lots of work outside. Fixed my bike. Set up a little fountain. Made progress on projects that have been waiting for warmer weather.

The warmer weather is here! It felt good to feel the sun on my skin.
March 10, 2025 at 1:34 PM
Day 23:

Lots of visitors but my heart is so full. Shared food with friends and family, celebrated birthdays, did lots of catching up.

Also out neighbor came to check on us since she saw the greenhouse was down. Wanted to make sure it wasn't someone doing something sketchy. 1/?

Day 22:

It's been too dang cold and I'm too dang tired to be actually productive. Instead, I made up a challenge in the Sims and spent hours setting it up and making a spreadsheet to track it. All the feelings of accomplishment while still dissociating.
March 9, 2025 at 3:10 AM
Day 21:

Took a mental health day. Turns out blah day was the beginnings of OCD overload.

Was very windy at night. The greenhouse is officially kaput. I dragged the pieces of its broken body back onto my property and weighed it down. No greenhouse this year. I'll survive.
March 7, 2025 at 12:29 PM
Day 20:

Bleh day. I made it through though.
March 7, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Day 19:

Fat Tuesday. Tracked down fastnachts. Worth it!

Planted a bunch of stuff in the greenhouse! Everyrhing that can be started at this point is done. Now we play the waiting game for supplies for the next phase to arrive!
March 5, 2025 at 12:13 PM
Day 18:

One day this greenhouse will be solid. For now, it's back up.

Hung out with friends and finished some projects and mending. Came up with 10 more projects in the process but oh well. At least they're all from stash!
March 5, 2025 at 12:11 PM
Day 17:

Woke up and the greenhouse had toppled overnight. The wind blew out 3 panels which I had to chase down.

Otherwise, I just did my best to set us up for a good week. And finished 2 books! I'm on a roll for my reading goal this year!
