Well…it seems official that this is the new normal time of getting started in the morning…another day of getting out of bed after 6:30 and I still don’t know what happened to change my sleep…but, I think it’s okay…getting up at 3:40 was not a good thing and being up and down all night wasn’t either….I wonder if it’s settling in here? I did get some things done yesterday and I’m all the way up to 3 rides on the new rear wheel without a flat but I’m still not confident that I fixed the problem….and I got food on the lawn and stakes in the garden to support the tomatoes…I’m trying a few different designs to see which one works the best…using the tomato cages along with lots of garden twine to tie them together and stakes and twine to support a line of 4 plants with the stakes on each end…last year, the cages were just not strong enough by themselves to hold up the plants and I still think I may have to stake inside the cages to hold them up…I did get some nice hardwood stakes at menards but pounding them into the ground with a  hammer hurt my elbow and that pain continued all day….at least it’s not 44 degrees out there this morning and I’ll be able to put the top down on the car when I do the grocery run…if it’s not raining…it looks like we are going to get some the next three days and I feel good that I got the food on the lawn before it….the grass is filling in on the huge bare spot…well…bare half the lawn that is the back yard and it looks like I’ll have a yard by the end of the summer….not much to do today….need to do the grocery and menards run this morning and then G is coming out to see the house later and is bringing me an unused air conditioner for my bedroom for the times when it is too hot and humid to sleep….haven’t seen her in a year and it will be good to catch up….more later…
