Yesterday, I lied to you all 😧. I said that I was going to tell you about my garden every day.
But you will hear nothing about the garden fro me. Not even a little bit. I had an almost completely indoor kind of a day. That is, besides feeding the chickens and taking assorted dogs (as in Miss BB and Gia) for very short walks.
My morning was dedicated to an interview prep, testing my connections and such. Then, the interview. I learned so much about the dark side of the gold industry and what fairtrade Gold is all about.
Then, it was time to pay the IRS. Technically, I still have 15 days - but I wanted to make sure everything is taking care off. Now, I remembered. If I leave it to the last minute - I might forget. And the IRS does not like to get paid late. No, not at all...
The next part of the day saw some intense cleaning action. While I really like a clean house, I really hate cleaning. I get grumpier and grumpier by the minute. Oh well, I survived.
And now, this very minute, you are going to catch me in another lie. Because I am going to tell you about something garden (related after all).
See these delicious potatoes? And peas? that was last night's dinner and came straight from the garden. the picture above is a fish stew and the fish was pulled out of the water by my ex-husband. So, almost out of the garden since we look at the Pacific Ocean as a part of our cityscape.
And let's not forget Day 26 of the #seven77 campaign on Twitter to promote Steem and Acitfit.
Miss BB is sitting on the black mat underneath me and is playing invisible.
You see her towards the end when she finally is moving.
Not much movement but I am tired. See you all tomorrow.

You at least snicked in the 5k count which is still great. That your fish stew sure looks delicious. Kudos.
Thank you LOL. I try to get at least to that. And believe you me, there are days when I worked way harder to get to the 5000 then when I had an almost 20,000 day. The garden work doesn't seem to count for much, neither does housework. All good.
was a bit on the rainy side here today ended up being mostly inside day here :(
Rain sounds good. It looks like we are done with rain for this year. It sure was nice while it lasted...
I’ve been reading your entries for a while now and must tell you how inspiring you are!
