Well…damn, felt exhausted all day yesterday and I know it’s a combo of my allergies and not eating enough…I mean I tried to eat…had a piece of pizza for lunch and then a chicken leg quarter and a handful of baked fries for dinner but I know that’s still under 1500 calories…closer to a thousand and that’s nowhere near enough…okay, won’t bitch about that anymore…I’m sure you’re tired of hearing me talk about it…but, I feel better this morning and will have to remember to take some allergy meds here in a minute to get a head start on it before I get worse….didn’t get anything done yesterday but cook and today looks the same with needing to go over to Ravenna for the family get together for my brother who died a couple of weeks ago and my feeling about that are a little mixed…still haven’t gotten used to the idea that this is going to be happening more and more often as we all get older and I try not to think about it much since that would mean addressing my own mortality and I just don’t want to do that right now…it’s the start of a new month and I’m still bitching about the damn weather…come on spring…I am so tired of still bundling up everywhere I go and this week is going to be in the 50′s…again…and that means half thermasuit on the bike still…and having cold hands riding triggers the arthritis in my thumb that then hurts like crazy….oh, well…the lawn is starting to green up but the damn weed killer in the weed and feed isn’t working so I need to do a weed walk with my tank sprayer this week if I have day when it’s not raining….but the rain has kept the patches in the front wet so the grass will grow in later in the week so I guess that’s something….not much to do today…just the run out to Ravenna at 11 and then back here for a veg day and planning the work for the week…I am going to have to mow the lawn sometime but will convert the mower to mulching so that will make it easier….and I need to plant the perennial seeds I bought along the back of the house so I can have some color there…and it looks like I need to replace the outside faucet since it is leaking quite badly without the hose valve on it but I would like to get one that has a compression fitting so I don’t have to do any soldering…it will be a big enough pain just crawling into the crawl space to get to it and cutting out the old one…more work…more later….
