Ride goal lost in weeds!

Here’s my day’s plan:

1. Weed Lily of the Valley bed.
2. Landscape around the recently reinstated outhouse in our backyard.
3. Get a pick-up load of mulch and begin spreading to protect my weeding efforts.
4. Do 2 loads of wash and hang out to dry
5. Take a 10 mile evening bike ride with husband, Harley

Results of my plan:

1. Lily of the Valley bed weeded & mulched after 6 tedious hours! Enough already!!
2. Landscape around outhouse – it’s ready for planting!
3. ¾ of the mulch load is spread.
4. Bike ride – cancelled!

My body is fried – literally! This 60-year-old body is having a hard time adjusting to temperatures that jumped from freezing to 90 degrees in two short days! A full day in the sun, mostly bending over, simply did me in! I have a pounding headache. And I never get headaches. What kind of fool am I to think I can ride 60 miles at the end of July?
