    Shakes and exhaustion . . .

    So it is spring here in my lil corner of the world and here I am trying to 'keep busy'. So for the 1st time I decide to help hubby with the yard work. Hummmmmmm . . . a couple brewskies to cool down while we work are always nice.

    So I'm pluggin along with this gas powered weed-cutter and thinking my lord, HE sure makes this look like it's quick and easy. That said it took me 20 minutes to do a small area abt. 4' long at the side of the house. Then I decide to tackle the other side and the front of the house . . . oka another 40 minutes go by . . . so now I'm thinking a nice cold beer would just hit the spot. Then I decide I'll tackle the back side yard, OMGosh . . .

    HE comes to my aid and says "let me give you a lil tip" and he takes the weed-wacker and proceeds to show me how it's down. Mental note to Self is saying "please don't stop now, I could use a break and a brewskie" but alas he hands the machine back to me . . .

    So I con't to wack that stinking grass and wack and wack til it is all gone . . . even some of the dirt is gone as well. Three and 1/2 half hours later . . . and I am done. So I turn off the machine and walk back over to Hubby rotar-tilling the garden and I say, "Look at this my hands are literally SHAKING".

    He comments, "yep, I know the weed-wacker can actually make your hands go numb".

    I'm thinking really hummmmmm . . . so I go and plant myself in the middle of the lawn to rest a second and as I am lying there my wonderful companion Dayna (dog) brings her druelly, wet, slimmy, muddy, plastic stick and drops it on my face. She wants to play, how cute!
    I began giggling it was so funny.

    I was absolutely exhausted and still Shakey and thought oh crap, we still have 2 trees to plant.

    All of that being said, I stayed 'Sober' the entire time . . . Nope, no brewskies, not a drop of anything other than really cold water. I am so proud, shakey and tired and I feel Phenomenal!


    Sorry to be so long winded, I just had to share my joy.

    Have a Great Weekend Everyone!

    Hiya Polar,
    That's beautiful! Getting out into the gardening in summer used to make me want a brewskie too! Eventually though, those thoughts turned to the moment, nature, how great life can be, and all of my own possibilities. Isn't the simple participating in life just grand? And a furry friend ta boot!
    Best wishes to you and your's, and thanks for sharing..........

              Starting my day off with your post, Polar , and it feels phenominal to share in your joy!

              It can be done, yes?
              I know those moments of splendor, they just expand and take a calmness into those shakey places.

                      Hey Polar.

                      Isn't it amazing how you actually appreciate the simple things in life more when you are sober?

                      Great work. Great story.

                        Hey all . . .

                        Thanx All, so much for caring and for your replies and / or for reading this thread, I love the support mechanisms here, keeps me plugging along . . . :l

                        And yes, I think that the naturally "Exhausted" feeling is the best feeling especially compared to being tired from drinking feeling. The Shaking feeling from the vibration of the weed-wacker 'not so much' . . . but alas I learned something new! And that my friends is my goal in life . . . Always to Learn Something New!

                        Best of the best everyone . . . :l
