Recovering from illness
One of the weird things about recovering from illness is that you aren't quite the same person anymore but you also have habits that started when you got sick and don't want anymore but you have them anyway. And your other family members have them too.
Some things don't stress me out anymore - the evil plant of doom (Creeping Bellflower). There is no way I can get rid of it. It doesn't hurt me, and the lawn grubs don't eat it. I'll continue to mow it and stop it flowering, but I am not going to fuss any more about how I can't stop it.
Native plants - not going to be so draconian with these, either. Easy is the new rule. Beneficial to wildlife and edibility will be a priority. You should see my asparagus this year.
Some habits need to go away. I did a lot of playing junk video games and watching even junkier TV. Foms, on the other hand started coming home later and later because well, there wouldn't be much me there to interact with. Now, he's still coming home late and I fall into doing the games and tv and when I start I find it hard to stop.
Last night, I weeded the garden, instead of doing junk. I enjoyed being out in the garden and was reading to stop before foms got home. We picked a no cook meal and visited with each other and then read together in bed. It was lovely.
