21. I planned a special Christmas project

Thu Dec 24, 2020, 08:43 PM

Dec 2020

I rent a condo with a crappy looking small front yard.

Even though it's not mine, I'm putting in the structures for a small garden that I'll plant with tons of bulbs, a terraced veggie bed, and stepping stone path. To make it more challenging, I'm trying to scavenge most of the building materials from empty lots and rocky fields.

I was absolutely in bliss today playing in the dirt.

I'm sick of Christmas music, ads, TV specials, shopping specials, etc. Nobody is giving me a new Lexus. Or diamonds from Kay jewelers.

Enjoy your evening and Christmas day, fellow loners! After tomorrow, it will only be about 290 days until it starts all over again.
