#an acre and pool and 300 yards of untended perennial beds is not sustainable

[kfedup]

It’s a stunning day here on the south shore and I’m headed outside to start the annual endless task of pulling weeds in garden beds in a yard mom can no longer manage and complains about constantly yet does nothing to change so they are easier to manage like apply deep mulch or plant ground cover and this is such a metaphor for everything about her and I’m trying to hold space for who she is and where she’s at and give her grace but goddamn this is nearly every vacation for the last 30 years and I’m so very over it. Also fuck punctuation.

#time for the small single level condo with a patio and a few pots of flowers #an acre and pool and 300 yards of untended perennial beds is not sustainable #and I don’t have the stamina this year thanks to Covid #or the money to pay for someone else to do it thanks to Covid eating my entire savings account
