Thrusday

It's cloudy and drizzly right now, but the sun will appear later and most of the afternoon will be mostly sunny with a high in the 70's.

Yesterday I got my SS check and paid a shit load of bills.  One left, a $40. water bill that I will drive up the road and pay today.  It's yet to be seen if I can make it for the rest of the month on the $200. I have left.  I may well make it without having to buy horse feed.  God knows, I have a pile of meals packed away and in the deep freeze so I won't starve.

I also plan to pick up some pork heart which I'll use to make my main fish food with.  Boe's is mid way between my house and the water company.

That's about it for today.  It would be nice to be able to do some house cleaning, but I don't know that I'll have the energy.  Cooking always wears my body out, and yesterday I made a beef stew that involved a lot of prep work.  I could never figure out why that was since I could do so much sitting on my hydraulic stool with wheels and pushing myself around the kitchen rather than having to stand and walk.  I discovered that even wheeling myself around on the stool took a toll on my back.  It was a hard night last night so I might end up doing little else today.

I'm cheerful, though,  All the fish are healthy and happy.  Dogs are fine, chickens are an entertaining PITA, Cat has been quite affectionate lately, and Charlotte has no idea of what is coming in the short time ahead.

Howdy Liz.  It's funny what tires us out isn't it?

I can work outside or on the bikes, even do house work, but about 15 minutes of dish washing just kills my back.  I haven't figured it out unless it's just the standing in one spot.

Today's news; My grandson wants me to teach him how to be a computer systems engineer.  I told him he needed to be a bit more specific and we settled on doing website work.

I'm looking forward to it.  He's a great kid, as sweet as the day is long.

It's still raining here and forecast to continue through tomorrow.  MotoGP is racing in Texas this weekend.  The only race here in the states as we won't fix our tracks to make them safe.  Oh well, that's what I'll be doing on a rainy Friday, watching a day of practice for the races on Saturday and Sunday.

Night all...

I'm weird about doing dishes, but then I'm weird about most everything. I'm the same way with the laundry.  I don't mind washing dishes and clothes, but putting the dishes away once their in the rack is more I can handle.  What I end up doing, which I know makes no sense, is that the next day, when I'm ready to cook again, I put away the old dishes, wash the dishes in the sink, tidy the kitchen, and cook.  I'm a slob.  Hell, I let 2 chickens sleep in the house.

How's this for weird...  I use my dishwasher for a drying rack.  I wash the dishes in the sink and then load them into the dishwasher to dry.  It's almost like they are put away...  out-of-site, out-of-mind!  LOL
