It’s cold and damp, was freezing overnight, but apparently we have a freakish warm spell coming in. I have a ton of deliveries due today, including some plants that should have been delivered at the end of August. If I can keep them alive until midweek, I can plant them out when it’s warm and they may have a chance, Which means not only will I lose most of today, but I’m going to lose at least one work day in the middle of the week. I’m trying to be okay with that.

Walked home yesterday with a neighbour who recently took retirement but now finds himself doing odd jobs for everyone. But at least he doesn’t have to get up early, and he does it because he wants to, not because he needs to. One of several people I know who did second lockdown and thought, fuck it, just stopping and doing what I want sounds a lot better, and I’ll figure out the money of it as I go. I’m constantly worried about money, at least partly because I grew up in a poor household where money was always a stress. But I think sometimes it’s okay to say, fuck it, I’m going to turn everything off and do odd jobs in the garden.
