I can completely relate. I always seem to do "just one last thing" that doesn't catch up to me until later in the evening, when I've been sitting for a few. I try to get up and it's horrible.

The other day it was "I'll just dead-head the roses" and turned into weeding the entire side bed, the front walk, and then mixing up a huge batch of dirt for next week's containers. My legs felt like jello by the time I made it inside!

If you can find it, peppermint or eucalyptus body wash is a great muscle relaxer, well, at least for me!

:) Oh I too was only going to do a few things today... I ended up doing oh so much more!

I have some killer muscle relaxers I can take when I'm ready to climb into bed and be unconscious for 8 hours.
Later tonight I have a date with them. :)
Just have to make it to 10pm. Every 30 minutes or so I have to get up and move around or I won't be able to move at all. (but that's normal for me)

At least it wasn't 100* out there today!
And there was no blood spilled or broken bones!

Off to pick up dinner and settle in for some mindless tv watching.

Yup, another taker for "did too much" yesterday. Knew the rain was coming today so the race was on to see how much I could get done before hand, although I was really hopeful the rain wouldn't hit until later in the day today, not so. probably a good thing for my body.
Haha, yesterday morning I was sitting out on the patio with my morning tea, in my jammies just eyeballing the yard and what I wanted to start with and didn't even bother to go in and change clothes before starting...ever do that? "well, I will just put a few things in the ground..." I did eventually have to go put on real clothes so I could retrieve the bags of mulch in the front, but that wasn't for at least 2 hours.
That peppermint eucalyptus bodywash sounds yummy after a long day in the yard. Actually what got me the most yesterday the most was the "too much sun" headache. Took me forever to get rid of it only to be chased by " I shouldn't haven eaten that" later when we ate pizza. Ah well, I am happy with what I got done yesterday and love the feeling of accomplishment..don't you? :)

Working in jammies and that happy with what got done feeling!
Yes I can relate, however for me it doesn't last very long.
My eye mostly sees what still isn't done yet. :(
How does one deal with that?

Is it Mimosa Time yet? Yes, I think it is!

I wasn't going to work in the yard at all yesterday. I was going to clean house and catch up on laundry. I reminded myself of that when I was picking up the first 50 pound rock and again when I was moving a big heavy planter from one place to another. I wish I had some super strength pain killers.

I do this as a habit. I keep telling myself that it's good exercise and thinking about the Japanese guy who gardens while 100 yrs old! I can keep up with a centurian right? RIGHT???

I think you guys are nuts.........I NEVER do anything like that...............do I????

HA!! Carrie, Where do you think our motivation comes from????
