Always just one inattentive instant away...

Thursday, I went out back to get the shed cleaned up, preparatory to giving it a new coat of paint and two new facing boards at the front corners. I was thinking the whole project (cleaning, prepping and painting) could be done Thursday afternoon. I don't know why my brain tells me stuff like that. I'm pretty sure it's mocking me

Now I am sure we must be sisters-in-arms if I may put it like that?
It is like reading about my own doing, of course different incident but oh so similar (climbing a ladder or just climbing a tree top, having "things" on my head from above of worse...
How delightful!
I am very proud of you, of course, and you are doing well!!!
Just don´t overdo it, things happen, promise to be careful.
Otherwise - go!!!!!

I'm sure I either worry my neighbors to death, or give them endless hours of amusement at my antics - maybe both. One thing I try to be absolutely compulsive about is ALWAYS having my cell phone in my pocket when I do yard work. If the tree falls on me and my neighbors are NOT watching, at least then maybe I'll be able to call for help!

I do try always to be careful. When I get a bit worn out, though, sometimes my judgement slips. I think that was one of those times. Where did I think all that stuff was going to go when I pulled on that branch? Why didn't I inspect the branch and the mother branch more closely so I could have anticipated the big one would come down, too? I must have just been a bit too tired to think properly. Lesson learned!
