I sit at my desk, staring at the monitor, trying to think of something other than the War to write about. The fact that it is 3:00am might have something to do with my idea void. Freddie Mercury sings Bohemian Rhapsody, how appropriate. "Is this the real world, or is this fantasy.." Even though Ukraine is struggling to preserve it's way of life, and the liberty of all of us frankly, I am also getting War fatigue. We're 70 days into this battle, and there is no end in sight. Here I am, drifting into War stories! Full stop. Got right into the gardening yesterday. Digging around the flower beds. 15 bags of mulch sitting on the lawn, waiting for today's project. Might even paint the steps, they need a new coat every couple years. All these home maintenance tasks become a little harder year by year. Still enjoyable. I'm not quite at the point where it's necessary to contract out this work. It goes with the territory. If you own a home, you have to take care of it. Like a car. Maintain it regularly and you will avoid major expense items. Is that what life segues into when one retires? A continuous cycle of maintenance? Both of one's body and one's things? Is this the circle of life? Hmmmm....
