Volunteer Day

Man, still feeling like poo. I had a +3 temp last night and I felt it with chills and general unwell. Not sure what's going on. I felt so crappy yesterday, yet I had a hike with a friend and that felt fine. I can't get a handle on when to push and when to rest.

Little friend as we were leaving the park.

Today is a volunteer day. This morning is a harvest at the farm (hope I get something easy on my back) and this afternoon is my first volunteer in the library store. 

Hubby leaves on his golf trip this morning. It's me, dogs and too many spiders. Wish me luck battling the webs. I survived leading a hike yesterday, but a few near misses. 

Overwhelm is strong right now and it really doesn't need to be. I'm noticing that when my energy is low, overwhelm is really high. It's like I can't imagine how I can muster enough to get everything done. One thing at a time. 

I had purposely left a lot of blank space for next week and it's completely filled -- all good things, some really good things, but it doesn't feel great right now. I need a thought shift because I don't want to miss feeling good. These are good things that should feel good. Even today -- both volunteer times are things I enjoy doing, yet I'm acting like it's a task to get finished and it's sprinkled with dread. There's no reason (other than I don't feel myself). 

On a good note, I'm enjoying the greens from the garden. I have another fall garden class tomorrow -- free one with a garden friend (same friend from the hike yesterday). Can never learn too much. The fruit class was interesting and helpful. I learned that "leaf rollers" are the pest eating my bean plants. 

There's a critter under each leaf piece.
You have to squish the leaf bit to kill them.
Fall gardens aren't as easy as I thought.

Hope you are set for a good weekend. Later gators.
