Well…I wonder if the earplugs are helping me sleep…slept through until 5:21 this morning and the only change was the ear plugs….well…that’s not entirely true…I finished the gate yesterday so that was off my mind so I think that had something to do with it, too….whatever it was, I’ll take getting a whole 5 and a half hours and hope it continues…it won’t but I can hope…I did get a nice, cold bike ride in yesterday and I think it’s full thermasuit from here on out….only have about 40 miles left to do to get to the record so that should be easy if the snow holds off…I am wondering if they plow the trails here in GR like they do in Kentwood? I know they clean them but it would be cool to be able to ride all winter…I was pretty sore yesterday from wrestling the gate into place but I feel better this morning and didn’t even take an ibuprofen last night…so, I think I try going without again today if the pain isn’t too bad today…I did hurt my thumb again but that even seems okay right now…not much to do today…have been thinking about running all my errands today since I do need to get out to get the hasp for the gate and I do want to try to find the daily deals out here so i can get some smoked turkey breast for 1.29 a pound…have to buy 8 pounds but that is such a deal that I don’t think I can pass it up…and I can freeze most of it….and they have roast beef for around 2 bucks a pound so that might be good, too….more later…
