I had rather go outside

Today is a last spring work day at school.
I would rather be outside here at home or at home doing a "work day" of my own.
My spring cleaning will be more of a "summer cleaning" or a paint up, fix up time.
I want to go cut some yarrow flowers in the back yard this morning. I will dry them for herbal tea. This is from a wild plant and should be more medicinal. I might get that done before I go to work.
I need to take out the compost buckets, they are too tempting to the fruit flies.
I have no clue how late I will work today. See ya later.

Have a good day at work. My house too needs a deep cleaning. I planned to do it in April but then I got the virus and I have still not gained enough strength to do it.

I imagine you are very tired. I have been tired this spring and have wondered if it was a result of getting vaccinated. Take care of yourself.

@GardenGerty Yes. Though I have no symptoms and have recovered well, still there are days my body seems weird. Can not explain it in words. But yes, after few days of feeling perfectly fine, there would be one day all of a sudden when something feels weird. I guess that is very common in post covid recovery and it can take months. Have heard and read about many going through the same.
Vaccination does make many tired for weeks. My aunt experienced the same for almost three weeks... dizziness and tiredness. Take care.

My sister says my niece might want one, but she has not messaged me back. I know a lady who would take them to her farm. Kitties do not last long on her farm, though.

She'd probably let them go feral and most feral cats don't live that long unless they're in suburbia.

It has been a lazy day since I got home. I only worked three hours at the school.

It's hard to do tasks at work when the same tasks are calling your name at home.
I need to get busy working on my kitchen and getting things out into boxes to get ready for our remodel late June. I also need to paint but have yet to decide on a color and I would like to wed while the ground is soft from the rain last night.

I will start thinking about home projects tomorrow. I can usually think of them faster than I can do them.

I have three kinds of mint that I can use and it makes a nice blend. Yarrow has some healing properties.

I wonder where the fruit flies go when we empty the indoor compost bucket onto the pile outside... never see them there.

They hang out outside I think. It is only when it is warm and humid that I see them.

I only had to work three hours. It was okay. Now the rooms are ready to be cleaned by our maintenance people.
