I mowed the lawn! And filled the bird feeders and birdbath and watered the pots and pulled a few weeds from amongst the Cosmos. I should still edge the lawn, maybe after lunch but probably later in the week, really. Now that I have come inside and sat down I don't really want to go out again.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I googled things to do with pesto last night, and one of the suggestions was to put it in a grilled cheese, and it was a good one!

I am really not feeling better - skipped church, but went to Sunday School. E had a short playdate and I made some rice and some split yellow peas to go with Ethiopian Doro Wat I made earlier (not really made, there is a co. in Dallas that sells jars of pre-made sauces and I can now just slowly cook the chicken or lentils or whatever in the sauce. STill working out the best way, but even just slapping it on the chicken I get better results than me tryingit from scratch.).
I also listed something on ebay today, so I am hoping to get in a groove with that and get a small pile of things listed.
I'd like to work in the yard and my brain would like to work in the yard, but come tomorrow, I will be mad that the stuff that really needs doing (taxes, job apps, getting rid of clutter) will have gone undone. I am doing inside work today to avoid a shame spiral.

Can you do a little of both? Do one inside thing, then work in the yard, and do more inside things when it's dark?

Mmm, grilled cheese with pesto sounds divine!
Doing what ya gotta do to avoid feeling bad tomorrow about what you didn't do today is smart, msbelle.
Oh, god, taxes, I've got to do those soon. It won't even be complicated, I just have to find all the relevant bits of paper so I can do it. Oy.

Not today Jesse, I really need to get taxes done, if nothing else.

Yeah, it is def. tax day in this casa too, now that I found the SO's W2, which was in his inbox, not mine, I feel obligated to report. But it's good I got through all that paperwork sorting anyway. Okay. Taxes. Then whatever it was I said upthread I was going to do.

I will buck the tide and put off my taxes 'til next weekend.
