Okay got a new yard of topsoil and did some very minor distribution and leveling of yesterday’s, in looking for something strenuous to do that wouldn’t aggravate the stitch in my back I used the new mattock to take out maybe 20% of the remaining lower backyard bamboo.

That exhausted me, but in how well my core was holding up even exhausted AND favoring the back I’m appreciating how fucking strong it’s getting, curious what it’s gonna look like when the rest of the fat melts off over the next year. “Oh I’m suddenly getting thin for no reason” was already so dumb you could only just “sure~”, so “and I’m actually gonna be kinda ripped” is just more of the same.

Gotta plan some stuff for the fence to tell the contractor by tomorrow. I was gonna get one gate with over-height posts so that when I tile the roof in Japanese style of authenticity to be determined I could use some tiles and set up a small matching gate roof, but I’m realizing I have to make decisions about specific height and crossbar now. My mind’s still recovering in terms of how many factors I can account for how many steps ahead in a way that makes planning hard, so I’m gonna have to take some graph paper and draw things in a way that concretizes them tonight.
