pandasmom's Journal, 26 July 2016

Haven't been doing as much exercise as I should. Even though the exercise is inside in the AC, when I come in from feeding and watering the horses, I am so "whacked out" from the heat, all I want to do is sit and drink cold water. Really makes me realize "I'm not as young as I once was!!" Hopefully the heat will break a bit before too long! At least I've had a bit of rain the past couple of days, not enough to really help the pastures, but enough to break the humidity for a little while! At least the arrow is still green!!!

Getting out to service the horses sounds like built in exercise to me. Nice going! And kudos on your food plan! I am working on getting my physio exercises done on my non-physio days. :-P

Amen. I wish I still lived on the farm. I grew up on a dairy farm in Central PA. Out house, cold water, no electric except for one room and the utter pumps in the tank house. I miss the work. Now im in a city, sitting behind a lousy desk. Not a single complaint. AND IT SUCKS!!!! I MISS hard work. Does that make me insane?

No, a desk is just not as compelling as working with living things. Plants or animals. I suppose there is content to your work that's meaningful, though. It's legit to miss the farm.

Well, I will say I like having electricity, running water and indoor plumbing!! Lived without them as a child and don't miss "being deprived" one bit!! I liked my life behind a desk, but also enjoy being retired. Most of my interests are really inside ones, reading, sewing and other needle work, and while I enjoy the horses, they were really MH's interest. But it does get me out of the house for a while each day, so probably good for me (ask me again in January when I have to break up the ice on the water tanks and I might not feel the same!! LOL) However, I enjoyed it all a lot more when I was younger!!
