I gave up on the Tylenol and took a Vicodin last night. Whee, that's more like it
Flame thrower sounds like a plan, except these weeds are in the bed which stretches around my unit and they are firmly entrenched under the azaleas, ferns, and sego palms and spilling out of all the pots on my large patio. Mostly oxalis, you know the little buggers? You have to dig them out with your fingernails. Practically a solid mat of their tendrils because I was fading fast last year and the doctors at UCSD told me to stay in doors all winter so that I would not get pneumonia or the flu and complicate the operation. Afterwards, I could breathe just great but my back was destroyed by spending 2 months sitting up in bed. Everything outside grew out of control and now I am dealing with it. Imagine the joke about "bend over and grab your ankles"? That's kinda what it looks like as I hop around grubbing in the dirt. I also had to be careful not to turn my rear end out toward the Common Area
