July 1st

Well…crap…that was a bad night of sleep and I have been up since 5:24….oh, well…I guess that had to happen sometime….or every time when I think about it…but, I feel okay this morning so maybe 5 hours is enough sleep for me? I really tried to eat more yesterday and we’ll see if that had any effect when I get out on the bike when it gets light…I discovered that I really like vinaigrette dressing so I need to get more today when I do the grocery run and more fixings for salad too…okay, the eating more was just a small salad that only added about 150 calories but it is something to support the almost 40 miles I’m riding every morning….and I will get to halfway in my quest to ride 5,000 miles this morning….I did the math and if I keep up the daily 36-40 miles…it will only take me about 90 days to get to 5,000 and maybe 6K could be attainable? But that means no days off or slacking at all and I’m not sure I want to work that hard….and I’m not sure my old body can take that pace with how it feels every morning….I feel a little better about my garden after taking a look at the better boy plants yesterday…while the celebration tomatoes have had blossom drop to where they have very few on the huge plants, the better boys have twice as many on one plant as on all four of the celebrations…so there will be salsa by the end of the month…and pickled jalapenos that I may just get to this weekend since I have a half dozen peppers almost ready to pick…and a few beans but I’m not sure how many of those I’m going to get….I will have cukes to make pickles since they started to set this week and I have lots of tiny ones on the plants….not much to do today…I’m still being careful about the heat but I think I’ll need to just ignore that if I’m going to get anything done….I do need to weed the gardens today and start cleaning up behind the garage so I can wash the siding back there to paint it….and I have the grocery runs to do around 9 but need to get a ride in first….it’s 6:20 and it appears that it is light enough to get out but I do need one more cup of coffee before I head out….more later….
