The rotary tool arrived. Thankfully I got the package before it could be stolen. But idk guys.

The depression and anxiety are getting really bad. It seems pointless to make work for myself and pour out energy I don’t have. Starting a compost bin might then require a second bin for the finished compost or using it immediately to make space for the next wave of detritus and it’s all just more planning pressures when I’m not functioning.

I’ve stopped watering the flowers in the dust bowl as it only encourages the invasive tree roots to encroach and send up new growth. The flowers will probably be ripped up or stomped anyway.

About 1/3 of my compost goes back into the bin at the new location.
