I didn't realize that weeding the flower beds for 45 minutes yesterday would result in being so incredibly sore today. My whole body aches. And it's not like I don't exercise frequently. I guess I was just using different muscles or something.

So I kind of wish my garden looked like this:

That's where I'll be on Saturday, although I'm not sure it looks quite this nice yet. Maybe in a couple more weeks. There will still be things to see and lots of interesting places to explore.

Right now, I just need to focus on getting through today and tomorrow. I'm mentally exhausted due to a myriad of things going through my mind and I'm finding it difficult to concentrate on work or stay motivated for any length of time. I'm doing the best I can to push through it.

I know. It's hard to imagine though, since I'm not raising my heart rate. But I did a lot of squatting and bending, and picking up piles of weeds and carrying them to the yard waste bin (not to mention the digging and pulling for weed removal). My thighs and shoulders hurt so much right now.
