Fisher house is getting major face lift. There are tons of workers at last.

They are even installing a new sprinkler system.

It seems that garden has been neglected for many years.

I am not working 5 days a week any more because My fingers starting to swell up. I have over used it.

I am working only weekends and holidays. I can still get much done with those days because I will be working 10 hours a day.

I have been digging up the plants from my own yard and planting there.

It is hassle asking for money to get plants.

How is it at the Fisher House?

I would like to update about my volunteer at FS.

Since I have spent so many hours and working at their Garden and yard, I discovered so many broken stuff like facets, hoses, hence and so on. And made it so unsightful.

So I reported to the manager about it, and she kicked me out saying I complain too much, even though I fixed as much as I can to getting rid of unused and broken stuff.

I also suggested so many ways to change the landscaping to efficient ways but the manager did not appreciate it.

So I am back to cleaning around my neighborhood.

I cannot see how it will turn out the plants I planted any more, and taking care of them. I was looking forward to see the flowers I planted this summer.

I spent many, many hours there, and many people appreciated the change I made.

I thought volunteering at fisher house is going to be my retirement, but lasted only 8 months or so.

I'm sorry to hear that meshak, but maybe it's for the best. Stay busy and spend more time on TOL !!!

It is so strange that when I spent so many hours for working at FH, I had so much energy.

But when I stopped, I don't have much energy any more.

When I stopped at FH, I made my own tiny garden in my apartment.

I trimmed the bushes and planted some perennial from my husband's yard which I am still taking care of.

It is tiny but cute, if I say so myself:)

It is so tiny so I don't have much to work on.

But it still made much difference in appearance.:)

When I was working at FH, I made time to go to the gym at least 5 times a day.

Now I reduced to 2 times a day because of lack of energy or motivation.

I am volunteering at Botanical Garden since I got dishonorable discharge from fisher house.

It is very far so I am only volunteering Saturdays and Sundays. I cannot afford gas fee.

It is beautiful and humongous garden. It is city owned.

So far, I am mostly weeding which is endless.

I do a lot of bending and squatting and digging, so I developed a humongous leg muscles.

Not if you keep getting discharged for dishonorable behavior

I don't have anything to report any waste since they are all honest workers. FH manager is corrupt. She fired me because I informed them the waste and neglect.

Since Botanical garden have so many professional gardeners, I can learn a lot from them. :)
