Today I was racing with T and I felt something snap in my calf. It feels like a bad leg cramp with some burning around it. I debated whether or not to go to Urgent Care (iirc that’d be $50 and the Emergency Room would be $100). I decided against it after I discussed it with Z and my friend who had a similar injury (hers was a calf strain and it took forever to feel better). I will try to call my doctor in the morning. I do not have time for any of this.

I almost did go to Urgent Care around 4:45pm or so, but first I had to water the summer crop seeds that I started yesterday ;). And monitor the water that was running in the garden. I walked around 5/6 of the garden, which was not a good idea. That said, walking feels a lot better on grass than on gravel or in the house. Walking while pushing a grocery cart also feels better. I also added drip tape to the bed space that I prepared this morning. Had to get water on there! I hand water a lot before I transplant in order to get the compost to start to mix into the soil and coalesce into something that can hold the plant up. I have dozens of plants to get into the ground. My friend thinks I might have trouble being on my knees. We have an upright(ish) transplanter (bought from Johnny’s) but I may have broken it a couple of years ago because I just can’t figure out how to operate that thing. #clumsy Our soil is too hard to be able to get plants in using that thing, anyway.

I donated some plants to a fundraiser for T’s preschool. It was hard to figure out what to give- kale, of course, maybe some broccoli, a few zinnias… they already had marigolds, which stinks since I have soooooo many. I should start some more and sell most of the ones I have. That reminds me, I really need to pot things up. We have the money and I should really pay someone to help me catch up for a few weeks. Especially for the strawberries. So much food is going to waste because I never got the beds cleaned up from winter, our mower has blown grass into the bed, etc. 😦 I need to get after those slugs. The below photo is from our 2018 planting. I weeded around the plants the other day, but I really need to hoe there but it’s just too windy by the time I get outside. Gotta try to wash some dishes, stretch, and get to bed.
