5 minute freewrite 2793 prompt I probably deserved that

This is my post for #freewriters 2793 prompt I probably deserved that hosted by @mariannewest

I do not know how much of this I can take. My heart wants to be out on the river, but my body tells me otherwise. He did not catch as many as yesterday, but damn close to it. He had 71 pounds of trout. Yesterday, he had 75, and the day before that, he had one fish for all day.

To make myself feel worse, I have been sitting here for the last 3 hours with an ice pack on my knee. Anytime I try to bend it, the pain is unbearable, it is the kind that makes you cry out every time it moves. If you watched the things I try to do, you would say I probably deserved that, and you might be right.

I knew my pineapples were looking like some were dying, they were getting too much water, so I moved them, but they were not recovering. The last time I stepped them up into bigger pots, I used old soil mixed with a little new soil. The soil turned to mud and was not draining. They all had rot rot.

I lost six that the center pulled out of. I planted the bottom part in a new pot of soil. I will see if they give off pups or if the plant dies when the center rots. I knew they needed to be put in new soil, but I had to wait until the check got here from selling Mom's land.

This was the crown from a 9 pound pineapple, plus I had already removed 8 plants from it. It was the last one to replant, and I wanted to separate it.

Of course, it was the only one that had a rootball left, and it was solid. I twisted the plants off instead of trying to bust the roots up. I replanted 52 pineapples in 4 days. I was proud that I found a way that was the least painful for me. I sit on a little stool, and this way I can shovel. I can not do it standing up. When I woke this morning, my knee hurt when I tried to walk. I went outside and sat on my stool, planted 3 plants, and the pain was awful. I have been inside, sitting in my chair ever since then.
