Aging ungratefully

Gramma

There wasn't much wind today, so I decided to wage war on the weeds using the backpack sprayer.  Then I planned to do some weed-wacking.  Five hours of spraying and I went in to make dinner.  There are more weeds to kill. 

I am not a great cook, but I made an effort today.  Epic fail with cauliflower, chicken, bacon, portabella mushrooms, sour cream and cheese. Sounds good, but not so much.   And, the kitchen is a mess.  The dogs will probably get lucky later this week. 

Gone are the days when I could work outside for eight hours and still clean up the kitchen.  I would go back out after dinner and do some more stuff.  Now I shuffle off to bed before dark.  If I forget something downstairs, it stays there.  Just me and my cat, listening to the frogs and the wind chimes, waiting for death.
