(Ask me how I know; I walked over to the sunny garden (away from shady gardens in yard) with morning coffee.)

Walking helps. Very slow. Winded now. Had to stop several times (multiple seats along way would help-accessibility. Would anyone else in neighborhood walk more if there were seats every few feet for rest stops??? I don't know most of my neighbors. I see fit, abled people walk past. I don't see people with mobility issues out and about around here. Am I using wrong language?)

Sunny part of garden is still in shade now. Back part is all sunny. Will have to think how this would impact planting plans.

Will walking crab slow over there and back early morning help me tackle Wall Of Awful? Will I be able to go more times per day soon, if I keep this up? Will I drop this ball (again) or how better support Self in this effort to get healthy and functional to do All The Things necessary to do All The Big Things to meet this noment in History as we are called to do so?

I should write this on paper but would likely lose it, or spill leak something on it that blurs ink
illegible. So trying this.

2/? Wall of Awful work. The practical tools I get, just have to practice using them. Reframing- sort of get, but the working through emotions that created bricks bit- where is that?

Morning getting away from me, not going to find or fix this before work (why not??? Why does this take so long??? I know, foolish expectations but -insert sparkley explosion emoji/gify here) so going to Let This Bone Go for now, to walk to sunny garden with a planted pot, place in new spot, check rained on pots, general neglected garden chaos. As part of

#CouchToRevolution program, effort, process, adapted from Couch To 5K thing floating around.

Gentle, appropriate to current fitness and health levels, functional movement v exercise, get blood moving, generate some dopamine, soak up some Forest Bathing tree chemicals, nudge mitochondria to make some ATP and bod to make more mitochondria (I know I. Being inexact and perhaps not quite correct but I know what I mean) and build habit to walk, to go to garden, to care for plants and soil and myself.

ADHD coach Brendan Mahan talks of The Wall of Awful, his metaphor & tool to help discuss how people build emotional walls with ADHD.

Started a raised bed where previous gardener made bed using black plastic to kill grass, so building UP. Moved a few buckets of partly composted straw from woodpile to 🌞Sunny Garden🌞😁 (unlike woodsy, shade-and-partly-shade hope-to-be gardens sometime) and spread out a bit. Unloaded 3 bags of raised bed mix to general area. Enough for today. Bushed. Toast. Approaching brainless.

Probs need more water and eat something.

Now to make some Rest and Restore herb tea (from Herbal Revolution) with added rose petals to help bod cope. And finish the icky bad brand (won't name) respiratory tea so I can bloody breathe, and maybe walk more than a few steps without having to stop. Will be chugging Fire Cider and Turmeric Tonic, in water, in between teas and gardening tasks.

Might treat myself to some Barter's Island Bees Honey in the teas.

Preparing pots from last season's oops for planting last minute, late season Hail Mary, Please Gaia, maybe this will work. Emptied old dead plants with dry soil and leaves to protected spots in woods, where they would do well if herbs or dead elderberry decided to come back from some tiny spark of life, if there is any. Lined with straw partly composted over winter. Hollowed out center hole, filled with leftover potting soil from???? years ago? Planted a few Scarlet Runner Beans in each. 70 days for these. It is August 24. Hoping for long mild Autumn in coastal zone 6b, which might soon or already be turning into zone 7. Might need some row cover in October.

1 pot each next to a post on either side of woodpile. One next to bird feeder hanger pole in rewilding Bird Park, part sunny patch with dappled light much of the day. Partly shady so it will be an experiment in forest gardening. How much sun do they actually need?

Hoping they will at least grow tall enough to climb posts, and really hope they flower before frost kills them. I will be delighted if they flower; blossoms are beautiful red and white. I will be happy if they even grow at all. Actual beans would be wonderful, but it is an experiment. Will see what season extenders I can manage, and how weather behaves.

Having to lay down on back now to post, as wiped out, and back between shoulder blades sore.
