Sean Dixon 10/19/2016 10:43 AMI had to force myself to shut down everything, but I enjoyed an entire hour of extra sleep last night. -
Sean Dixon 10/16/2016 1:22 PMEven though the wind was crazy yesterday, there was some great dry time in the afternoon. Perfect to fill up a bucket with weeds. -
Sean Dixon 10/14/2016 8:11 PMFour hours of dry weather today to work in the garden. My days off have not been matching up with good weather this month. I practically cried with joy. -

Sean Dixon 9/06/2016 10:05 AMReplacing a lot of screen time with weeding while there's still some dry days. No headphones, either :-) -
Sean Dixon 9/01/2016 11:31 AMI wanted to try "Eating Mindfully", but that required all meals to be eaten without distractions. I can't even imagine that at this point. So I'm choosing "Less Screen Time" and will try to eat dinner every night without any reading anything in any format. It's gonna be hard.
