It’s the 5th of July and and our temperatures are heating up. I’m hot and bothered and sweating a bucket. I’ll try to cool off before heading off to bed. I’ve been working hard today though feeling not getting much done. So I’m feeling a bit restless and not satisfied. Life is hard and the hardest thing I’m struggling with is to understand and being understood. Then there’s the don’t take things personally.

I’m irked, therefore trying to tap out instead of act out my angst. And it is the 5th day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Though I am tired and would rather watch Miss Marple, I’m making an effort to put my words out. I always have an intention to do this in the morning but intentions don’t count when I don’t act on them. Every day I have plans to tidy and clean up. There surely is a lot of clutter and dust. But I just haven’t done it either.

One thing that has been acted upon is my crusade against those bloody creeping, creepy bellflowers. I’ve been tackling them early each morning. I mean business, wanting to get them under control by end of summer. The job of digging them out is not as formidable in reality as it was in my head. Once I started, everything falls into place, one small patch at a time. There’s a rhythm to it, much like the tapping on the keyboard. I can see success in my head. It will happen.

I’m getting sleepy. I’m closing down. Be back tomorrow.
