Well….it appears that 4:45 is the new, standard wake up time and I’m not sure what I think about that….I knew it was going to happen so I was tempted to take an otc sleeping pill just to try to break that cycle but I’ve gotten out of that habit so I think I’ll just take the 5 hours and call it a win….and yesterday was the second day with no allergy meds since I’m trying to make them last a while but I don’t feel too bad so no damage so far….I do have to try to eat more…two days of one meal a day made the bike ride torture with running out of steam about 3 miles in…the excess wind didn’t help either and I felt so bad yesterday afternoon that I had to hit the couch for an hour or so…I guess I do need more than a thousand calories a day to support my activities…and I’ll be going back to double rides today so I think I need to get started on eating something soon…still have some homemade bread to toast this morning and I do need to get some fruit this week since I need to eat healthier and I do like oranges and apples….I am going out this morning to try to get my garden supplies so I can plant tomorrow or Thursday and I am not looking forward to it…shopping has become a pain lately and I just want it over….not much to do today…just the shopping and then some outside work after the first ride….the grass seed I put in the front is sprouting and filling in the bare spots and that is cool…and I still have some seed left to fill some of the back yard, too…more later….
