Damn it, i'm absoluetly exhausted. Physically this time. So, for the last month or so i lived in my mom house. She had some some health problems lately, so i thought i could help with gardening and all that stuff. The problem is, it seems she was actually hiding her health problems for at least a few years. It's absolute godfucking mess here. House is relatively ok(aside from my old room, which she used as a closet/tool shed, apparently), but the garden… Even something as trivial as mowing the lawn is a really damn hard. Everything is littered in some trash, tree branches, large dead plants, empty bottles and even toys neighbor's kids thrown over the fence and never bothered to get back. I can't even use a proper lawn mower anywhere beyond "gate-garage" route, i have to use a cord trimmer. She also had this habit of just cutting stray tree sprouts, leaving small stubs, instead of rooting them out properly. You can guess how much easier this makes mowing and even just walking around.
Well, this sucks, but i think i did a lot progress this month. Despite everything i don't regret coming here. Workout, home grown vegetables and fresh air are good for you. I've met a lot of old friends and relatives i haven't seen in ages. My cat love it here too.
And holy shit, i touched more grass than i ever cared to.
Tbqh, the idea of spending another summer alone in my apartment scares me much more than gardening.
