I was just out in the yard doing a shit job of weeding. There’s clover and grass growing in some of the garden beds and I only made a half-hearted attempt to clear it. I picked up some sticks but not others. I didn’t get the pruning shears out at all.

I find it difficult to work hard when I’m working against Mother Nature. Why even try? I’m already losing the battle to keep the inside of my house clean, and I only have three humans and two cats actively working against me in that arena.

I can’t compete against nature; nature is hardcore! Have you seen the Himalayas? The Amazon rainforest? Crater Lake? You think I could hold my own against an opponent who can make an entire mountain explode?
