  Uh-ma-god. Im going to pay dearly for this. With SPF 45, I went at the rest of the garden project I left unfinished last week. You know, excavating stone in the patio and making them into steps. And digging into the holes they left with a trowel and an almost violent persistence as I shattered through the 90% granite rock soil these new home developers leave in the backyard of their purchasers lots. i busted my knuckle through the gloves. i swear, i look like a boxer the way my right hand is recovering.
i have four different incidents that are struggling to heal. Breaking though rock isn't a good idea. Granted, it is a granite quarry. I have to in order to get the job done. Then I went to planting the rest of my ground cover. With gardening gloves on, with my bikini top and boardshorts on. Even a spell of actual ClearChannel radio on in the background (until the ads made me complain out loud, too much for keeping my respect as a sane person from my neighbours.
Im done. Im showered. Im about to take pictures of the still unfinished mess I made. Yet my eyes sting, my body exhausted. It topped out at 102F today, and even now at 3:30, its only down to 99. Ill be going to bed early tonight. I was out there for almost two hours. Goddess bless for having beer exist to make this all possible. And Goddess bless the 15 pills I take a day to keep me from doing any more work out there.
