Today I shelled a five gallon bucket of black eyed peas from our garden. My thumbs are sore.
I enjoyed it. I find shelling beans and peas and processing stuff from the garden very satisfying and therapeutic!
I do not remember if I mentioned this before, but I am going to embark on creating a Garden Journal, made from the things we plant, or rather ABOUT the things we plant. So when we go to plant next year we can thumb through the garden journal and see what we need to do for the best possible crop, document our trial and errors, things like that. I am excited about it, but I have not started it yet. I will.
I have been collecting 20 oz and 2 liter soda bottles, and I have been cutting the bottoms off of them to use in a project. Check out the bottom next time you drink one, see that natural flower shape? I am going to be doing some glittering and painting and hanging to make pretty flowers out of them! I finally have enough so hopefully tomorrow Alex and I will start on that. Oh, and I will be making my own glitter too. Mmmhmm. I rock.
I had an emotional breakdown of sorts yesterday. Spent half the morning crying over old shit, as in decades old shit. The day got better as it wore on, and I found out I was not the only one having a rough day yesterday. But I'm feeling muuuch better! ( Bonus points to anyone who knows what show that phrase came from! )
Today was pretty lax, I played around on POGO and washed some clothes, reheated leftover chili for dinner and did pretty much nothing else until 9 this evening when I got a wild hair and started shelling peas I was going to save for tomorrow.
My PS3 misses me, but with Alex home it is hard to wrestle control of the TV away from her. It has been 98 to 103 here for the last two weeks, to hot to go outside, and she has not played with the kids across the street much, so when she is not playing she watches movies. That is, until she realizes I am perfectly content in whatever I am doing and decides to intervene, because that is just not allowed!
So the lazy days of Summer vacation are in full swing, and that is alright with me!
How YOU doin???
Just a SMALL fraction of what I have been shelling lol.

Great looking peas, and I hope you'll have more to shell for therapy as the summer progresses. Can't wait to hear more about the journal too.
I've got the answer to your show phrase question, but I'm not going to write it here, because I want to leave that opportunity to someone else, don't want to give it away lol.

I totally get what you are saying as you know my own dilemma seems we both had a pretty emotional time of things huh? I am always here if you want to chat or talk. I have been blogging daily for my therapy I don't know what else to do at this point other than try to sort out what is in my head.
