My lawn was looking pretty hairy so I had to mow it. Btw, I’m talking about the grass on my front yard, ok?

With all the rain in the last couple weeks, my weeds were making a come back and I knew I’d be getting some warning from the HOA, so I got to work. I mowed the lawn and edged the front. Didn’t get to weed whack. Didn’t get to clean up. It was hot out there too.

By the time I was done mowing and emptying the bag, I was done. I left all the clippings from the edging all over the place. It was a mess and I knew it would be an eye sore for my neighbors, but I was Niagara Falls sweating, light headed, and fear of death made me stop for the day.

This experience made me realize I’m delusional about doing this marathon in LA. But I also know giving up just because mowing the lawn is hard would be a major cop out.
