The things I'd be most willing to say no to, are things I'll probably want to do later in life. I'm gonna have to roll with "not now" for a few. Keep the equipment/supplies, but take it off of my want-to-do list until my kids are out

i hope you think about it further as some social things are important enough and worth it.

DS17 survived his first day of work. His schedule is going to be challenging for me. I like to sleep at 10 pm, not drive to pick up a kid. Don't think I want him walking country roads at night though. Too many drunk drivers and meth users in this county...
Not much to report today. DS17 split perennials to take to the library. They're having a volunteer workday on their sidewalk garden. They've put in purchased annuals every year in the past, but they want to reduce that expense and fill in with perennials. I'm hoping to come home with some of their perennials that are overdue for splitting. They asked to have someone remove some of the hostas - it's a different variety than I have so I'm hoping to trade!

We came home with more perennials than we brought. The flowerbed was overrun with hostas and black eyed Susan's. Everyone who wanted some took them and I took the rest. I have plenty of space to fill at home!
DS17 was a good sport. He did the hard digging and set up the hoses.

All the volunteers loved himi hope you tell him that and that you appreciate it.
One of the volunteers (>70 years old) had walked to the library. I gave her a ride home. DS17 dug up some ground over for her and we dropped it off yesterday.

I'm so happy for a little health win! My resting heart rate has been higher than my norm for a long time - for as long as I've had my current fitbit and likely longer.
I got it down from 65 - 70 bpm range by treating chronic infections.
It was staying 57 - 59 bpm.
Since starting gardening for ~4 hours per day, my resting heart rate has been dropping. 55 bpm now. My norm is 53 - 54 bpm.
