Got a good night's sleep last night; first in a while, "feels really good", now it's "much to do", not sure where to start. Foxy and Leo need a bath, the porch needs washing, floors need mopping, truck and Van needs wash and wax, Need to pull codes on Van, oil gauge on dash quit, but running fine, so I'm sure it's getting oil, house Northside wall, outside needs some painting, front vinyl siding need cleaning, screens and windows need cleaning, the list could go on and on, this is just to name a few of the things, "that need to be done". it never slows down, after "you've retired". Blessed are the ones able to keep up. Night view, of the "moon".
A little slow here so far; gonna, have to go to the grocery store today, already fed dogs, and let hens out to free range. I worked hard clearing vines, yesterday, I slept all the way through night with the 10 mg melatonin again, 6+ hours; so far, so good. Still working up my new list of things to do around here. Be back later on; and hope everyone here has a "blessed", day.
Got the grocery shopping done; was on here saying prices have doubled, but to be honest, I think they've tripled. Everything is more than it's ever been. Hope someone does something, to bring them down or it will be bankrupting all of us. When I was in check out, the woman running the register, looked at the woman bagging the groceries, and said to her;Can you believe this is $400.00.
First year haven't cleaned windows. If I can just sleep all night one night I may mop the floors, every day I vacuum them thinking today I need to mop, I use the vacuum cleaner on the wood floors, haven't used a broom in 20 years. I've been awake since 1am got up at 6am. I'll try a small dose of the Melatonin tomorrow night. Like Jake said lots to do. I did cut a large area of vines yesterday.
Being retired is not, "so bad"; I like that most of the time, you can pick what and when you work on something, unless it's an emergency thing, like the well, or vehicle, that you need for travel, hot water heater, or power, where you have to use generator or something like that. I like when there is no rush, and you get to pick and choose, "your poison".
"New day", so I have to figure what's going to get done today. So many things to choose from, it makes it hard to decide; what is most urgent. When things break down, it's easier to make the decision. I always have a certain routine, I have to do it, after getting up, like having coffee, two cups, feeding Foxy and Molly, letting chickens out to free range, and having breakfast. Then I rest a little, then go at it; whatever that "project" may be. Be back later, to say, just not sure about the most important one.
Been staying busy, and I was going to put up a couple photos, but it says, "error", if you do; file too big, no matter how small, that you reduce it; so can't yet. I have some from the trail camera; I think they're pretty neat. I washed Foxy last night, was going to wash Leo today, but after cutting more vines, and then having to drive to town, on business; I put it off. I will do it tomorrow, and pull codes on Van, fix a new rattle under the right front end, "whatever it is"; have to crawl under it, and find out what's doing it. Wash and wax, clean the windshield with steel wool, to get water marks off. Busy, busy, busy.
