... the back 40 inches of yard that is! I planted my punnet of bok choy out into a larger container. The pot was suppose to contain 6 seedlings, but with a bit of division I got 8 - bonus! Now I just have to hope nothing eats it before I do! Nasty pests like grasshoppers. Crush, kill, destroy - maybe I can find an outlet for my killer instincts hunting the pests down.

I need some MR FD help to clear out the dead, dead, deadist kaffir lime tree as I have decided to plant the rosella plants there. I have mulched some of the area with sugar cane mulch and also need MR FD to help me retrieve some nice composted dirt from our compost bins. Times like this I get angry about my back injury, but I have more time to work on that now too.

I think planting my"crops" is a positive way to start the New Year. I think I am just starting to unwind from the past and all the unemployment mayhem, and while I am still marking time waiting for everyone to get back to their offices and satrt helping me craft my new life, I am becoming calmer. I am also starting to form plans for some much needed tasks around the house - cleaning out the pantry, my closets, and Mr FD's study (he has to participate in that one, I am not the type of wife who takes over his space).

Being unemployed means that I may actually have to do these things, instead of just thinking or TALKING about them...walk the walk and not just talk the talk. I would rather just do the talking, but sometimes one has to step up to the line.

I just wont draw the line in too clearly yet...I need some more down time. One can never have enough down time!
