When did it become so hard for me to make decisions? Even little stupid ones. Like how to get rid of a shirt that's been worn only once, basically brand new, but has a little tear in the back because I caught it on something sharp inside ET during our road trip last year. It's … Continue reading 2024-07-14 — Opposite Day

I don't know how it happened, but somehow today I was focused and more motivated than I have been in a very long time. 🥳 🙏 Maybe a little bit of it comes as I looked at my badly sun damaged skin from years of working outdoors without sunscreen or long sleeves or anything and … Continue reading 2024-07-13 (Saturday) — To-Do Frenzy

All right, it's 10:30, and now it's time for me to try and remember what happened today. Let's see... First thing this morning, I gathered up some trash from down by the greenhouse area to put in the dumpster because it was Friday in the trash truck was coming at some point. I got up … Continue reading 2024-07-12 (Friday) — Books Given Away… Check.

Not much to report today. I'm beyond exhausted. I significantly overdid it physically today. I've been wanting to get all of the fence posts put up around the pond area. I said I was going to do that, and I got started, and then it was so hard pounding the posts in, but then it … Continue reading 2024-07-11 — Fence Up or Bust

(written on the 11th} Apparently, Rover either came with some brown recluse spiders, or it inherited some with all of the boxes and what not that were moved from the house to the van and out. I think I've killed three, maybe? I was stretching last night, just before falling asleep, And the small of … Continue reading 2024-07-10 (Wednesday) — O Possum

Man, I think I had my longest night's sleep in a long long time. I think I might have slept somewhere between 8 and 9 hours. 😶 🥳 I did wake up a thousand times during the night, and it stormed for a good chunk of the night. The rain is a lot easier to … Continue reading 2024-07-09 — Water Diversion Woes

It's been a really hard day today. I think probably the main reason it was hard, maybe? Was that I forgot to take my prednisone, and going cold turkey off of prednisone can be massively destructive to one's emotional well-being (e. g. depression, etc) So probably partially that, and probably partially feeling sick, or maybe … Continue reading 2024-07-08 (Monday) — Forgot the Pills

(written on the 8th) I spent the majority of the day working around the greenhouse area, cleaning stuff up, trying to get it under control and decent looking. I disposed of several of the garage storage shelf container thingies that I had taken from the garage when we moved. A windstorm damaged all but one … Continue reading 2024-07-07 (Sunday) — Back At It

Last night was so refreshing! After so many nights of hot hot weather, it got down into the '60s overnight, and it was cool enough to want to put a blanket on. It was nice! It took me a little while to get going this morning, so I was a little late getting To my … Continue reading 2024-07-06 (Saturday) — Back to the Ranch

(Written on the 6th) I don't think I went to bed until like 5:00 a.m... not the smartest decision. 😅 So I didn't get a lot of sleep before family festivities started. First adventure on the block today was a pool party. With my shy, reserved demeanor, pool parties really don't fit. I don't really … Continue reading 2024-07-05 (Friday) — No Gainer
