Just One Thing Done
Garlic
I came home from the hospital today. I walked in and thought what I usually think several times each day.... If I could just get one thing done today, I'd be satisfied. This is beyond the normal stuff (my normal anyway). If I could just make a difficult phone call, drop off stuff at the right place, pay bills, do something better than survival food in the kitchen...etc. I want to be able to go to bed at night and know that just one thing is a little better.
For today, I suppose I should say getting myself checked out of the hospital might qualify. I've not been admitted since my last child was born 23 years ago, so developing asthma and going through the learning curve of treatment after the crisis should count.
But, what felt good to me, was planting the remainder of my garlic. I bought a largish bag from a home gardener who was selling his last harvest. I spent $20 on it and gave a few bulbs to my daughter. I planted most of the rest but there were about 5 bulbs left (perhaps 25 cloves). I hate buying stuff with an expiration date and then not following through. I was feeling weak and tired but I set my son up with a task and just went at it very slowly, taking time to enjoy the surprisingly excellent weather and the livestock that I hadn't seen for a few days. And, I got just one thing done.
