June 8th

Well…running about on time this morning after forcing myself to stay in bed until I heard the coffee maker start…slept as good as I can ever expect and I’ll let the coffee wake me up and get me going…there is a little good news that the amoxicillin is helping my eye heal up with most of the swelling down so it doesn’t look so bad…my eye is still watering some from the irritation so I’m going to do one more day of antibiotic to make sure it doesn’t rebound…I am looking forward to maybe getting a day off the bike Wednesday to get a little rest for my body that is feeling a little worse for wear with 30 miles a day becoming the new normal…I wonder how that happened? I mean, 15 miles a day should be enough for an old guy like me and I know I have the 5K goal but the compulsion to go out twice daily is a new thing that is confounding me a little…I wonder if it is trying to chase away the age that I see in the mirror every morning? If it is, it’s not working….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but gardening but I do have to get out to get some lawn food today to get it down before the storms tomorrow night and into wed…and I think I may want to mow before that but we’ll see….I do need to wash the car too, since C’s road in Mt. P is gravel and it is covered in dust…but, I may let the rain do that on the grocery run wed…it’s a little weird that I am letting little things like car washing and fooling around in the garden fill my time when I still have big work to do on the house….I guess I’m just burned out from working on it almost daily for a year…..I think I deserve a little time off to enjoy life for a bit….I am going to get to the front door this week and get it painted…and I do have to get on the membrane roof and replace the cement that has dried out to eliminate the leaks…maybe that will be this week, too? More later…
