Well…up at 5:41 and then the switch clicked at 6:33 and I knew there was no point in lying in bed anymore….had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do anything at all other than read…got all the way through a 400 page book in one day and I’m not sure how I got back into reading so much…I know part of it is the haul of books I got from the used book sale at the library but I still needed to actually read them…a habit I had gotten out of for many years…it really does fill the time quite nicely and I wonder if I’ll do another one today? My back still hurts and it’s a weird thing after ordering the heating pad yesterday…I want it to keep hurting until it gets here later in the week so I can see if it works or not..yeah, I’m pretty damn strange….it’s going to be cold from now on so I think I need to put the garden hose away and put the cap on the outside water tap since the valve I have on it now is made out of plastic and won’t survive the freeze…..and I need to cut the fallen branches up and bundle them along with putting the 8 bags of leaves out to be picked up tomorrow…I am going to get one more 5 pack of big lawn bags since there are still leaves falling and I don’t want to leave them on the lawn….I do need to do laundry today and figure out what I’m going to with the leftover turkey since I won’t be able to eat it all before it spoils…and that means I will need to plan other meals for later in the week….and they have to come out of the freezer….not much to do today…I do need to get a ride or two in and I want to do them outdoors….and that will mean I can have two meals today…but it’s only 30 out there right now and that means I’ll have to watch for ice on the trail with all the rain/snow we got yesterday…I did take the day off yesterday to try to heal the back a bit and it seems to have worked some but I know it will hurt again after the rides….man, I’m tired this morning….getting old is a pain in the butt….more later…
