When enough is ENOUGH!

Digg! this story.
It’s almost 5pm. Yoga starts at 5:45pm. I’d love to go, but I know my body has had enough for today. Typing even feels a little much on my tired hands.
Shiloh and I had a great time driving to Woodinville and Kirkland today to pick up plants. The first stop had pulled our order, so it was a quick load up, pay and away. The second stop required we walk around to shop and pull our own plants. Fortunately, this nursery is super dog-friendly, so Shiloh got to cruise the nursery with me, off-leash no less. This was her first time shopping at the nursery, and I was thrilled with how well-behaved she was. She hung out very close to me and came to my side everytime I called her. She knew she was getting a special treat today. I just wish she hand an opposable thumb and could carry some plants for me.
Anyway, we shopped for a few hours, loaded up and rushed home. I wolfed down some lunch, jumped in the other car and raced to a pruning and transplanting appointment. For the next couple of hours, I instructed, dug, lifted, pruned, and so forth with my client. We had a great time, but my arms, shoulders and hands are really tired. My left forearm is even twitching, so as much as I would love to hit yoga, I think a salt bath is really what I need. Fortunately, Shiloh got plenty of walking time with me at the nursery, so she’s content. And, I don’t even need to cook dinner. We’re visiting a favorite restaurant on the 30/30 list.
So no yoga, but got loads of exercise and fresh air today!
