Yard Work {Junkie}

With the arrival of warmer weather, Bill has been absolutely itching to get outside every single weekend to do some sort of work in the yard.

Rake up the leaves.

Rip out all the weeds in the yard/garden area.

Get the garden started.

Just generally be outside in the heat.

Me, on the other hand? I dunno, I don't really like being outside too much because of (and not limited to): extreme heat, I don't like being sweaty, I don't like bugs, bees terrify me, and being out in the sun right now is a genuine health concern because I don't want to overdose on Vitamin D. 

Most of you are probably sitting there stumped, thinking "how you can you overdose on D, considering most of the country is low on D?" Well, last doctor's visit, I was told I am low on Vitamin D, so I've been taking 50,000 units of D a week, as well as switched to whole milk. So, with all that D in my body, I don't want to risk it.

If I do work outside, it has to be close to sunset, because I suffer from heat exhaustion very easily—I even got heat stroke one year at work!

So, while Bill works hard in the yard (heh, rhyme), I'll stay inside reading my books. ;)
