Today I did something I swore I would never do. I left my property in PJs. It's only happened once before for a Halloween party.
I slept well, for a change, when I went to bed. But I woke early....maybe 3 am. There's no clock (or screens) in my room and I didn't feel like getting my FitBit off my dresser to see the time. So I did what I always do. I over thought.
Yesterday I sent a text to my nephew to see if he could do the lawn. He replied he was working. (But ... but ... it's Labor Day.) The lawn is high... he just did it two weeks ago (I can usually go close to a month) .... we've had a lot of rain. It means I have to do it myself. I came up with a plan. I'd come down in my PJ's, head outside, weed until 8 am, and then weed whack and mow the lawn. My yard is unbearable by 9:30. I would love to run the mower and weed whacker at 6 am, but my neighbors might feel differently.
It was 6:15 when I came down.
I told Pat my plan. Her reply "I have my shoes on we can walk now." Duck. I totally forgot about her "walks". I replied "I'm in my jammies". She replied "There's nobody out there." And away we went.
Thankfully, we did not see anyone. When I got home I went out to weed and whack. By the time I finished the sun was already beating down back there. I came in and made breakfast and took a shower and got dressed.
I'll mow and clean up my bundles of weeds tonight.
