April 16th

Well…that sucked…had probably the worst night of sleep I’ve had since I moved in here with being up and down all night starting at 1:13 after going to bed at 11…and I finally gave up at 5:43 and got out of bed for good…but I don’t feel that bad even with that and my heel and calf are much better today and I’ll take that trade off any day….and that was day 5 of being good this week so that has to count for something…not sure what, but something…I am a little depressed that I haven’t been on the bike for two days but damn, I am so tired of going out in thermasuit….and it’s past half of April and it’s only 33 out there? I think that’s the most depressing part….that we haven’t had any spring yet and I haven’t gotten that first whiff of the smell of spring, either….I wonder how many more springs I have? I did decide to keep the tree trimmer I bought a couple of weeks ago after looking at all of the dead stuff that has to be cleared out of my trees and I just don’t want to have to borrow one when I need it…I know it’s a lot of cash but I think I’ll get enough use out of it to justify buying one…I do have to put some hooks up in the garage to hang it and the new ladder that I’m going to buy next week to get it up and out of the way…and that will complete the tools I need to maintain this place and then I have to start saving like crazy to pay my taxes and car insurance in August…that should be about two grand…or more and don’t want to deplete my cash reserve to pay it….not much to do today…I do have a pork shoulder that I’m going to cook in the instant pot but I think 9 pounds is too big so I’m going to cut it in half and only do 4 pounds or so…can’t wait to make some pork tacos with  queso fresco, or Mexican cheese, and the pickled red onions I made the other day….should be yummy….and I am going to get a ride in today even if I have to go out in long pants and gloves…might as well get used to that since it is going to be cold until the end of the month….more later….
