Lots to do...

So I am on a tear to get things done by July 12.

Crossed off the to-do list:

• deer fence around veggie garden
• new composter installed
• pool ladder in
• dead headed the roses
• added black gold aka compost to the veggies

More to-do:

• finish trimming, staining and installing the last of the solid wood doors in the house
• art projects that require two hands
• finish the pile of sewing repairs and projects
• clean windows in and out
• clean gutters since hubby doesn't like heights (this is tricky b/c our house is on a hill so one side is two stories high and the other is about three - the gutter cleaner went "oof" when he saw that)
  
• Miller-Kingsland weeding - perhaps the renter will learn how to weed when he sees my example...
• plant the last of the seeds

Concessions I have to make:

• the cemetery I want to clean up will probably end up being pushed back to the fall
• the new weed whacker will be the tool for trimming, as opposed to my hand clippers, which I always preferred because it works my arms
  
• my goal to increase my biking will be limited to short distances
• I may not be able to make it to the march in DC in July if I have to drive

I so wanted this to be done in the winter when I had Christmas break. The doctors figured this was what it is but insurance companies make you and the doctors do all these tests - massively expensive MRI's and x-rays - that confirm nothing. If the hunch was CPS, then why couldn't they just go by the in-office tests - I have always tested positive for both the Tinal and Phalen tests. So now, I am going to be severely limited during the summer - the most active time of the year for me. I always catch up on all my art making, get a lot of the garden volunteering done, help my parents with their garden, and help my sister with Lucy. Now, thanks to the stupidity of insurance, my summer is screwed. At least I can still go in the pool and write...
