Remind me again of that phrase I can never remember

Displacement activity. That's the one.



As you can see, I have a whole new vegetable bed to dig over.

As you can see, I have made small headway thus far.

I wonder how many shovelfuls I have ahead of me? And how long it will take for all that vile creepy grass to break down into healthful humus, and how many trips to the town dump meanwhile for civic compost, and what I should actually grow in it once it's ready for, y'know, actual growing...

Meanwhile, I should go and dig another row. As my alternatives are worrying about stuff and/or feeding a pill to Barry, I think I'd rather be digging.

Karen says I'm not allowed to do away with the lawn. She wants it for those parties that we don't exactly have. Either we will have more parties, or I will encroach slowly, little by little, another little bed and then another... She'll never notice.*
