30 Days

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am okay. I got a lot of sleep last night, which is actually becoming my norm now.  We worked 9-1/2 hours yesterday. We had something added to our list "if we could get to it".  Actually we don't have time to get to it, and it was like a 2 people 2-1/2 hour job. We made time to get to it, and added only 1-1/2 hours to the shift. I got nothing going on Saturdays so what the heck. 

Anyway,  yesterday I saw a guy ran 1 mile everyday for 30 days. I kinda have a standing joke at the bakery, that i am trying to take up smoking in the hope of working my way up to 20 ciggarettes each day. I did think though why not add $7 each day to a savings account. Like I do smoke. I was going to do it to my Discover account, but it needs to be in multiples of $25 or higher,  so I'll just do it in another account. Also I decided to do the run thing too for 30 days. So in 30 days I'll have $210 extra in a savings account. Also I will have run for 30 days. My run route is actually 1.5 miles,  but whatever. 

Today is a busy busy day. I got mulch, laundry, cut the grass, stake up a fence to one of my gardens. Should go shopping too. Both bakeries will be open this week, so work will be busy too. Tomorrow won't be too bad, cuz I am good on doughs, and frostings, so that cuts out a lot to my regular day. 

I think I feel recharged. I was tired last week due to all the stuff i did the week before. Today, I feel good. I did have a couple drinks the last two nights. Just cuz it is the weekend. I think I'll add that to my 30 day thing too, cuz i really should add it to the rest of my life really. It is easier for me now. I really struggled with it before. It really is a matter of life and death too. Alcohol is easier to quit than smoking is.  At one time it was a $7/day habit. I cut it down to like a $5/day habit over the last couple years. At the age of 53 it really needs to be a $0/ day habit. 

Anyway, I guess Hope,  and i better get our run in. My day will be long. I gotta do pushups,  and pullups too. That doesn't take long though. 

Anyway, I guess I'll have a day today. I will be active,  and busy. 

Laterzzzzzz.        :)

Questions Of The Heart

Yesterday was a pretty normal day. I was tired at the end of it. I slept good again last night. My resting heart rate dropped lower. I notice at the end of my day my rate doesn't get down as low as it used to. Almost as if I don't start relaxing til I am ready for bed. I put in a lot of steps, and my heart rate all day long is over 100. I am always in fat burn, but rarely cardiovascular. I haven't been running,  and I don't bike a lot. I've been forgetting to do push ups,  and pull ups,  so I started them again last night. 

I guess health is a thing we should consider more as we get older. All the shit that will kill us is invisible pretty much. Unless we get in a car accident or something. There is a good amount of shit to worry about in life regardless of everything I guess. 

We didn't get hardly any rain at all the last couple of days so I had to water my gardens. I'll have to do the grass and gardens all weekend. It will be nice weather wise. Normally I would enjoy the nice weather with drinks, but sadly my heart does not take well to alcohol. If I didn't have my watch I wouldn't have known. George Carlin I guess did some drugs like cocaine and stuff,  but he had a bit on alcohol and its dangers. He had a bad heart. A couple heart attacks, and alcohol helped him get there. My watch and George Carlin helped me put the two together. Plus I did some online reading. Alcohol is bad for your heart. I don't see the surgeons warning on the bottles. Probably cuz heart disease has so many other variables. 

I am at a good weight. I eat good. I am active. Going to start again "exercising" more. Take care of my ticker I guess. My heart rates were so whack I was pretty close to going to the ER to get a ekg, and whatever tests they have to check stuff. I was nervous kinda. I'll check my blood pressure on Wednesday, and if it's high I may contact my doctor,  and see what he says. 

Speaking of the nice weather it started raining just now.   :)  lol.  Crazy weather. I was going to ride my bike for the first time this week,  cuz of no chances of rain.  

I ate a lot yesterday. I drank a ton of water. I ended up eating a lot of fruit.  I wonder if that is the sugar withdrawal from not drinking. It's only been 3 days though. I ate a sandwich, cherries, an orange, an apple, a chicken taco after work, chips and salsa,  a ton more cherries, dinner, and drank a lot of water. It seemed all day long I was putting food in my face. As luck would have it most of it was good for me. 

Anyway, enough about me. I gotta get ready for work. I started a new book. My 3rd from Dean Koontz. The good thing about not drinking is you can read more. Dean Koontz spins a good yarn. I think that's the saying. I still go to bed tired at the same time whether I drink or not. I find that interesting.

Another Chill Day

As long as chill for 12 miles and 27,000 + steps counts as chill. Me not drinking is a chill day, while me drinking is chilling.  You see?  I have to live in this head 24/7. It's why I like sleep so much. So yeah my resting heart rate is on the way back down again. I finished my book yesterday,  and weeded my gardens. The stuff planted with seeds is already up. Everything is going good on that front. I'll have to thin out my radishes soon. 

Not really much happened yesterday. I made a Mexican chicken dinner. Marinated chicken breast in goya mojo,  and made guacamole, tomatoes,  onions, spanish cheese, and refried black beans. Throw all that crap in a tortilla, make sure you get 75% in your mouth,  and save 25% for your shirt. Boom, easy meal. 

I could have sworn it was supposed to rain last night, and I don't think it did. Maybe I was sleeping. I slept almost 8 hours. A good score too, and I didn't drink. I went to bed early. After dinner to finish my book. I had a good amount of deep sleep, and a lot of REM too. Thus my high sleeping score. Plus my heart rate wasn't inflated due to alcohol, which helps too. 

I saw yesterday in a blurb Trump wanted to shut down social media, cuz Twitter told people to fact check his claims.   That dude is reckless. I chuckled when I saw it. My thought is this dude is off his rocker. The numbers point out others see this to be true. Republicans will still vote for him in large fashion. It is early, but a lot is going against him. It is early though so much can happen. He is off his rocker though. 

I am not saying he is crazy, but he isn't well balanced. Dangerous in the long term, cuz he blurts out shit from the hip. Usually not a big deal, but his office exposes that shit more. 

He's fine if he's just Donald Trump. He's like Rush Limbaugh's brother in personality. He's President though. Not really his best position.  Not really the best position for the rest of us either. 

I'll have my day today. It should be fine. I really got a lot of sleep, which is something new to me. 

Anyway it is salad making day again, gotta run.

A Chill Day

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. I had my chill day last night. I came home, turned the AC on, and watched the first 3 episodes of "I know this much is true" or whatever on HBO. Its okay. I also read my book for an hour before bed. 

I did some research this morning. My zip code has a population of ~47,000. We have 118 cases of covid-19. All in all my zip code is doing okay I guess. 

I gotta go back on the not drinking thing again. I can't live with the crazy heart rate drinking gives me. I wanted to have my cake and eat it too, but I cannot. For me, alcohol will eventually be deadly. I don't think alcohol affects everyone the same, but it is bad for me. Its bad eventually for anyone who drinks to extreme. I think for me any is extreme. I tried. I did a case study of drinking less, and switching etc...   it's just poison for me. It is good to know though. Keep me out of the hospital. 

I kinda enjoyed yesterday. It was low key. I did my weekend shopping yesterday. Not a ton of stuff, but I definitely needed veggies for my salads this week. I stopped by Sam's,  and got a few things. TP, tomatoes,  popsicles,  and a big jar of pickles. I didn't really need a lot of stuff. 

Outside that not too much. I have just a few things to do outside today. Waiting for the weekend for the final mulch. I think it is going to rain the next two days. More relaxing today I guess. 

I really got nothing I guess. I think I'll take Hope.

Let The Week Start

I am ready to start another week. I actually did enjoy two days off in a row proving I am getting better at days off. I cut the grass, and trimmed, and did another yard of mulch. Also I  watered the grass, and my 4 gardens. Gonna have a lot of veggies. Lisa got a new hammock, so I put that together. We did a cook out. My dad came over. He's checking himself into a hospital,  as mentally he isn't all there. He gets lost a lot. 

I was tired at the end of my day. I went to bed at 6:30 PM. As days go it was fine. I got a lot done. I ate, and then I slept. It's how I want my days to go. I don't have anything to complain about. My yard looks good. Not much labor left on it, except watering,  and weeding. It looks good though. Dogs have tried to beat the shit out of it, but we prevailed.  

Outside that not much going on. Not a lot on my mind. Looks like we will get some rain this week, and have another nice weekend. I have to go shopping after work today, but after I am really looking forward to just chilling. We kinda have been go go go for awhile. Not sure what to do for dinner. 

It is a day. We never know when our last will come. We all kinda want to make the most of our life,  but there isn't much to make of a life. It's a temporary thing. We will all be gone from here soon enough. I  guess that's why I don't do the news a lot. No sense being angry all your days. The news will make you angry too. Its how it is marketed to operate. 

I am up. ready to start my day. I think it will be busy for sure, but there will be some relaxing, and eating before bed. It should go fine. 

Anyway, I spose. I gotta make my salads AND shave today. 

Busy busy.

What Is A Normal 53 Year Old Person Like?

That's a good question. I have absolutely no idea. Am I normal?  No clue. I am at ease with myself. Not a ton of stress to my life, although I do want that virus to stay away. The numbers in Micigan continue to improve except in my neck of the woods. I don't know the hotspots,  and our county is spacious. Even still it isn't a major percentage getting hit. 

I did get a lot done yesterday. We got the truckload of mulch done. I'll get another one after this. Then we will need just one more truckload. Our yard front and back will look the best it has in years. All done with Memorial day here less one truckload of mulch. I have to cut the grass again today too. That's what happens when you water every day. 

It will be a busy day, which is how I like them. Hard to believe all major outdoor projects are going to be mostly done by Memorial day. I am working, which keeps me happy. Lisa is happy too not working. Also she is one of those people making more money on unemployment. Like $800 every 2 weeks more. So I guess all is good here as long as we stay healthy. Our State will probably open up in 2 weeks. Texas passed us this week,  up next Florida. 

So really not much going on besides that. We have work tomorrow which should be fine. We were assuming we'd be fully open at the end of the week. That kinda sucked. Our Governor is playing it safe. The West Coast of Michigan gets frequented a lot by Chicago folks, and Chicago is horrible. It  was the cautious move. If Michigan drops way down, and other states continue to get hit hard it is the smart move. Restaurant employees have to start getting back to work though. It is tough on businesses. 2 weeks though. 

Outside that not much. Another day down,  and another to live. I am excited for today,  and excited for tomorrow. It's good to have the energy to live I guess.

2 Days Off, And A Truck Of Mulch

Good morning. How's it going?  Me I am fine. I got two days off in a row. We did a yard of mulch on Friday, and we got one more. We may need two more after this. One more for sure. I am sore as fuck pretty much everywhere. Just getting old I guess. 71 miles last week, and I actually gained a pound. I feel I am healthy. My blood pressure is good, so I guess it's all good. 

My Saturday job is safe, although we are down to 6 people. 4 FT during the week,  and us two Saturday guys. It is a ghost town on Saturdays. I saw only one other person there yesterday. I heard they laid off another 80 people too. The company is still sitting on a pile of cash. Less cash will be coming in though. Just think of all the work HR people did to hire hire hire the last couple of years,  and I heard from an unofficial source they laid off 1500 people so far. 1500 out of 9000 employees if that is accurate.  Also they are only running 4 days instead of 5, but more realistically 6 or 7. That's just the area I  work in. There are a lot more buildings, and I am not sure at what capacity they are running. It could be close to zero percent for all I know. 

What it means is our unemployment in this area will rise, and all the trouble with it. Crime goes up etc...   We are not a high crime area I don't think, but desperate people do desperate things at times. 

I am safe though, and I am secure. It is a nice holiday weekend, and there is a nasty virus taking some fun out of it. You know what?  I actually like the peace and quiet. I have no desire for big parties and big get togethers. Work, eat, sleep. I don't really have any goals except to be active. Stay as healthy as possible. Secure in all things is good. Are we ever?   Probably not. Since regardless we all will die. I am okay though. When life pulled. I turned. That made all the difference. You have no idea either. Couldn't even explain it to you. Maybe I tried before, who knows?  

I'm good though you know?  I have everything I want. All I want is nothing. I am content. No yearning. I am like Gentex kinda. Sitting on a pile of cash, but nothing to spend it on. Unlike Gentex I don't need a healthy car market to keep my future in good hands. 

Anyway, I have a day today. Should be a good one. I have a day off tomorrow too. I am not dreading it either. Maybe this pandemic helped me enjoy a day off a bit more. 

Laterzzzzzzzzz.     :)

Potentially A Worse Case Scenario

The last thing Michigan needs is rain. After today we may be Seattle. I think there are chances of rain and storms for 9 days straight after. There is already major flooding happening. There is no beach. Houses will probably start falling in the water. Dams are broken. Levees breached already. Once again where I live there is no danger, unless of course the table is too high, then everyone is fucked regardless. It isnt high chances of rain every day, but it could be bad. 

My heart rate yesterday was whack. I couldn't get it below 80 at all. I even physically checked my pulse. it was high. Naturally I worry about that shit. I took my pulse in my feet checking for maybe a blockage. Thing is I felt great. I had a good pulse in both feet. The pulse is down this morning. I wonder if your first heavy exposure to sun can do that. It's the only  thing different. I didn't Google it or anything, but I was concerned for a sec. Ignorance is bliss I guess.  

I did get all my stuff done yesterday. In so doing my thing I figured a way to be more productive. Water, and do other shit at the same time. Although watering,  and sucking down a beer is always a possibility. I've 90% decided to just drink beer. It keeps me away from a heavy buzz. I cannot overdo beer. I just can't consume a lot. I think me drinking brandy is hard now. A little bit harder on me then I'd like. It might be an age thing. I do like at the end of the day to have a couple drinks. I'll just switch to beer. If two drinks turn into 4, well 4 beers ain't nothing alcohol wise. 4 brandys packs a punch. At this stage I guess it would be cool if marijuana was my thing. A couple puffs for chill time. I like the beer idea. Wine makes me ass piss. That's a heavier punch too. I don't need the heavy buzz, I just need the chill time I guess. 

We grilled out for the first time yesterday. Maybe one of my best meals on the grill ever. Cooked perfectly. Catfish,  potatoes,  and zucchini. Of course a lot of chopped up garlic too. It was good. Just having a couple beers instead of brandys helped. I didn't get that dead to the World tired feeling. I was tired after I ate just cuz my days are full. So  there you have it. My day in a nut shell. Not particularly exciting, but I liked it. I got more  sun too. I think everything starts opening up later next week. That means long work days again. plus our company had payroll protection forgivable loans or whatever. We were getting paid 40 even if we didn't work it. That ends soon I think. If I get paid 40. I'll have to work it. Us day bakers still worked 32 or more hours though. We did work 5 days still, so it won't be a huge change for us. Monday was always short. Friday too, because we weren't producing for Monday, and only one bakery was open. So if Monday and Friday creep up closer to 8 hours, we would be close to 40. 

I just need to get our mulch done in the back. Planning on getting a big start today. 

I gotta go. Gotta prep my 2 salads. Such a pain,  but good for me.

Outside Takes It Out Of You

One thing I forgot is getting a lot of Sun in the Spring takes a lot out of you. I knew it before, and forgot. I cut my grass, and trimmed everything, and  watered everything. Plus I did some weeding,  and by 6:00 PM, I was beat. Lisa was too. 

My days are typically long and active, and normally I am tired at the end of the day, but this was different. I remember this in years past. I have to water my grass every day for 2 weeks. On the days it doesn't rain anyway. That's fine too, cuz in 2  weeks I'll see how my garden is doing. 

My heart rate was reading high this morning. I took my watch off,  and it continued to read high.  :)  Not sure what its reading. I reset it, and cleaned the connection with isopropyl alcohol. I've definitely come to count on that stupid thing. 

Getting the grass done yesterday was a big deal to me. Just getting everything done. Although I was tired as heck at the end, I am pumped I got it done. My yard waste bin has been very full the last two weeks. 

Outside that not much. I think next week things will open up. The weather will be warm. People will be out and about. Luckily I don't really go out much. I'll continue to live the covid-19 lifestyle, cuz it actually is my norm anyway. I don't know how the numbers will go on from there. Personally I don't want a 2 -3 week illness. You figure it would take that much longer to regain stamina and strength. If it hits like a 2 week flu. The more it goes on the more I don't think it will be life threatening to me,  but it still will be a nuisance. Some numbers out there still are troubling. 

Really life is just a day after day I guess. We just do as we do. It is good to have a lighted path, cuz things turn out okay. I've noticed that more and more. The plans of the heart can definitely lead you astray. I guess I don't really have plans or desires.  Just do my day to day. It's kinda nice I don't have to outsmart the World. 

Not really much else on my mind. Another busy day in store. Work, and more work outside. Busy is good. 

Laterzzzzzzzz.      :)

A Busy Day Is A Good Day

Good morning. How's it going?  I am fine. I slept good again last night. I've actually been sleeping real good. I don't feel tired either, so that's good. Actually I am contemplating all I want to do  today.  First off I have to cut the grass. It's so high from the rain. I cut my grass high as it is to keep it healthy. They aerated my lawn,  and over seeded so I have to  water it every day it doesn't rain. 

I got the rest of my garden in. 3 gardens.  :)  just different spots. I'm hoping for a bumper crop.  At least til the point where I go, what the fuck am I supposed to do with all this?  Probably late July. Late July will be interesting anyway to see what the World is like. 

With work,  gardening, doing dishes,  making dinner yesterday was busy. Those are the best days. Motivation helps a lot. I have no idea if I was tired yesterday, cuz I was motivated. If your motivation is lacking than tiredness gets the upper hand. It probably helps we will have like 4 sunny days in a row. Too much overcast is just depressing. Especially when you have a lot of shit you want to do outside. 

Even though the covid-19 has made the world ugly,  it still is kinda neat just a few months ago everything was dead. Now everything is coming alive. The 4 seasons help give your life balance I feel. At least for me. Not everyone enjoys Winter, and Fall I guess, but I sure do. Give me them all. You know in August when everything had been hot for a long time, I am over Summer typically. I need a change. The seasons give me that. 

Another thing that makes me feel good is having professionals fertilize my lawn. I never get the crabgrass preventer on my grass in time. Will I remember to do a Fall application?  Rarely have I ever in the past. Just peace of mind I guess. I'm gonna fail at this, but if I spend some money it will get done right. I am happy about the purchase of this service. 

Lisa is going back to work in 2-1/2 weeks. I wonder how that will go. She will be tired at first, but I think it will be good. Just seeing her friends and stuff. Work is always a sociable part of the day too. She enjoys not working too. Unlike me. Yesterday was a go go go day for me. Those are my best days. You gotta try to fit everything into your schedule. Without work there is no schedule. You cannot possibly get as much done. At least for me.  One thing positive about covid-19 is we got a lot done with our house. 

My garden is in. We have some more mulching to do. You know come Memorial Day, we will be able to just enjoy the yard. I'll start paddle boarding too. I think it will be a good Summer. Financially we are doing good too. All my Summer projects, I probably would have never finished are done.  Crazy right?  

Life is good. I am doing pretty good. 

Anyway, I gotta go. Its shave day.   :)

Getting A Bit Ahead

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am okay. I didn't think I slept good, but I guess it wasn't bad. My wife woke me up around 9:30 with her loud phone, and laptop, and I didn't feel like I could fall asleep. I did I guess, but I spent so much time in REM sleep it was hard to tell. I've been REM'ing a lot lately. That's probably a good thing. 

Even though it was wet as heck outside,  i got most of my garden in. 12 tomatoes,  4 cucumbers, and 2 yellow squash/zuchinni. I just have radishes, green zucchini, and beans to go. I can probably add some herbs too, but really just wanted the veggies in. Before Memorial day too. That's always the goal. 

It isn't hard, but we just had a lot of weeds. The plan is to take care of that shit better this year. We also had gyros for dinner,  and that is always so fricken good. Work was a little under 4 hours, so I had extra time yesterday. So far we are open Wed-Saturday, so Monday is easy. My grass people are coming out today too, so that's exciting. I have to cut the grass again, cuz of the rain. 

The weather was shitty again yesterday, but the rain held off a bit so I could get some shit done outside. After today we will have 70° and sunny for a few days. I bet we can finish up the mulch. It will end up being a busy week. 

It is Memorial day too, and nothing is open. The kickoff to Summer.  :)  One of the good things of being old is I have no desire to go to a bar. When you are 30, you probably go on a 3 day bender. When you are my age, not sure what you want. Crowds aren't it though. 

I don't know what I am going to do with all my cucumbers, zucchini,  and tomatoes. I better come up with a plan I guess. 

Anyway, life goes on. I am starting to worry less and less about the virus, although the numbers still look pretty high. My county had a big day, but I understand a nursing home got hit. That was about 25 miles North of me. As far as numbers go Florida, and Texas will probably overtake us soon. It's hard to believe we were #3, and now all of a sudden Illinois is about to double us. I have no idea what's going on there. Obviously Cook county, and surrounding ones, but why the late start in cases I don't get. I read I thought Detroit had flights to and from China, so maybe that's why New York, and us got hit so early. We've all been on lockdown. I know LA sucks right now too. Nasty little bugger. 

Anyway today will be busy. Lots to do at work. All week will be busy. Memorial Day weekend. I was thinking earlier what are the old people who used to work out doing?  I know I rarely see old people out walking. I feel their generation ate a lot, and exercised little. Lived a life of excess. Maybe just a life with very very little exercise. I fear some of those battling diabetes are probably struggling. 

Anyway today is a day. I think I am going to stop drinking for a bit. I know I know you heard it from me 1000 times, but I think I'll give it another try. Eventually it just has to work right?  I toll you, I am weak as fuck.   :)

It Was A Sunday

I did my typical Sunday thing. Shopping, cleaning, dishes, and laundry. It rained all day long. I did get all my veggies, so the garden will get in this week. I slept good again last night too. My weight is as expected. The last 4 weeks are 161.8, 161.8, 161.8, and 161.4. The week before was 158-something. Before this I hovered between 165 and 167. It was surprising to me my weight did not fluctuate at all. I am happy about it. 158, I don't like, and I don't want to be above 170. 

One thing about yesterday was the hours ticked by. I was shocked it was 3:00 when that rolled around. Shocked it was 5:30 too. Time for dinner. We made tacos. Best food ever. Tonight we are doing gyros. I made the cucumber sauce yesterday. It was actually a pretty good Sunday, even though I didn't get my outside work done we wanted. 

We are going to work an hour later today. Once again we only have about 4 hours of work. I might try, and get some of my garden in today. Not a high percentage of rain. It looks like we will have 4 good days after. 

Outside that not too much. Glad to be working. Glad to be busy. Glad to have stuff to do.  I wake up this morning, and I am fine. I feel good, I slept good. Looking forward to the day. Not a ton on my mind. I have no clue how others are. How different are their lives now?  

How much uncertainty has created more stress in lives?  I don't know how it is to have kids. Learning very early new borns are the worst. Then you think how hard it was just for me to grow up. A shy kid. Early on I probably would have been happy to crawl under a rock. You get friends, and develop some confidence. I did sports, which I was good at. I grew up in an age without video games. We played outside a lot. Video games were around, and we did play those,  but it never was really all consuming. 

High school, and puberty. Asking the girl you really liked to go out.  Sheesh. Fucking that relationship up the first time, but winning her back. 

Really my life is a jumble. Who should I be?  Eventually I learned the truth about me. There is a lot of nonsense in our personalities. In the end we all end up not being all that. We fail. 

That's my story. How to become the best version of myself I can. Woah!!  Decades later, and i still am not that. I know it's a thing. I know eventually i will be placed in the arena where that happens, but until then i just live. Just do my thing.  I guess after everything i know me. I know i am just a bundle of imperfection. Perfection unattainable as I am now. 

Anyway, life goes on. Another day for me today,  and I'll take it. 

Laterzzzzzzz.       :)

What To Do On A Rainy Sunday

Figures it is going to rain all day. Kinda messes up my plans. I've been tired lately it seems, but I have been getting 8 hours of sleep the last 3 nights. That is pretty good for me. 

Not much going on with me at all. I ended up with 73 miles last week. All I did yesterday was work. I was tired after for some reason. Today it is going to rain all day. Do I just get my tomatoes in anyway?  I  think I might. Why not right?  

I do have to do a little shopping. Not much. Stuff for my  salads, some lunch stuff. Not much besides that. We didn't cook a lot last week. See me being tired above. 

The virus is going on still. Already it has a longer shelf life than I expected. These things are dangerous little buggers huh?   It appears political lines have been drawn over this thing.  The US has been hit hard over this thing. That is just a fact. It appears to me people in Michigan, especially the Detroit area have a lot of people with underlying health issues. The death rate in Michigan is high. 

My Saturday job was a ghost town. I don't think I saw one company employee. I think I saw one outside contractor. Usually they have maintenance people working on machines. They've been hiring for a year or two. Always working overtime in some area. Now nothing. I don't even think the places which are working are working a full 40. It is just an observation. Pretty weird. 

You know who is running behind in their work?  Health inspectors for restaurants. States have no money now either, so you cannot realistically hire more. Shit like that. What happens at the SOS once we open up?  It is going to be a major thing to get things up and running again. Also people are going to be tired. You dont just go from not working to working 100% right away. 

I wonder what I'll weigh today. Probably not much different. My jeans I wore yesterday were a bit baggie. They would fit me better if I was closer to 170 instead of 160. I figure I am still at 160. 

Life goes on. Day after day. I continue to have plenty of shit to keep me busy. Life is busy huh? 

Anyway, I don't have much. The next couple months will be interesting. Just to see how things try to get back to normal. It might get ugly, cuz people try and add fuel to the fire. Anger and hate etc... are kinda like a virus. They spread quickly. Once you are in its grasp it is hard to recover. You become blind to everything but just your side. 

A person in power who spreads anger and hate will have no problem getting a following. Universities will struggle so more and more people will stop at a HS education. They wont be able to take a Non-Western Poli Sci class by a Palastinian instructor like me. An elective class. You have to take so many to graduate. It was one of my best classes I took. Opened my eyes to how a non US person might think. How they might view us. Less and less will be exposed to those types of things. More and more will just wear stars and stripes on their clothes, or carry a flag. Probably with their long gun strapped to their shoulder.    :)

Gotta go.

A Much Needed Day Of Rest

Between yard work, and regular work I've been pretty busy. My body needed to recharge. Plus I  was only sleeping like 5 hours. Last night I slept 7-1/2. I needed it too. I did exactly what I said I'd do too. Nothing. We ate dinner, and I  went to bed at 6:30 PM. It is raining again today, so I'll have to drive. 

Other than that not much. I see it was another bad day in virus World. I know you are supposed to look at numbers in blocks like weeks, but a bad day is a bad day. I take it in stride. I am not sick, and I don't know anyone who got it. The guy who shares my table at work got tested. He is having surgery today for a hernia, so I feel I've been tested too. Obviously test is clean,  cuz surgery still on. 

Of course when you think of it, I don't really know a lot of people.  I keep in touch with less and less. I am happy as I am. Content kinda. Financially I am fine, but that shit is a wind chaser. You never have enough. I don't really have any hobbies outside of I like to keep busy. We all know I am not exactly sociable outside work. I have one day off per week, and I try to get a lot done that day. 

Earlier I heard thunder,  and that gave me a feeling of security. Thunder is a thing to fear. Thunder we can hear. In the past thunder could scare me, but also be used to keep me in my place. It is pretty incredible how insignificant of a being I am. Have I ever had pride?  Of course. We kinda are born with those types of things, or maybe just a normal thing we pick up along the way. What isn't normal is seeing, accepting,  and believing our very little worth we have to bring to the table. 

I've learned a lot of little things like that in my life's journey. These days my purpose seems lost compared to what goes on day after day. I don't worry about it. Just an observation. I am two different people. A person of this World who just is a part of it. Also the other part of me who is to be used for a purpose,  but that seems kinda far away. It can kinda be like this virus though. Same old same old, and bam. The World is different. I am not saying for me that is how it will happen. It just can. There is no playbook for what I am doing. Just a vessel, not the author. I am fine with it. I am secure in my own insignificance. Cuz I am accepted. The story will be finished, and I don't have to do anything. Just go for the ride kinda. I'll be afraid I am sure. Afraid just cuz I am so helpless kinda. Like the only thing that can mess this up is me, and I surely don't want to count on me.   :)   plus the suffering part probably won't be great. Afterwards I will be full in spirit though, which I know will be crazy, having a taste of it before. Also understanding too, which is something way beyond any of our abilities. How life looks at this point I don't know. No clue. What's my purpose after that I don't know either. We'll see I guess. 

Anyway, like I said that seems distant, but probably it isn't. I still live my life like I am a part of this World. You kinda have to, until it's time for me to become different. 

Anyways, I spose.

What Now?

Well life definitely made a turn for us all. We were going along day after day, and woah. Now we have no clue the new normal. Already, I am contemplating quitting my gym thing. I can do stuff at home. Grabbing the equipment right now with my hands just doesn't seem appealing. Especially since I can do stuff at home. I would just have to buy some weights. Remember I am kinda an anxious person as it is. I've always been a horrible traveler. 

One thing I am bad at is fertilizing my yard at the proper time, so I signed up for tru green. For a mild sum take that off my chest. Time to get a good yard again. My front looks good. it does have some weeds, and bare spots, but  you only see it when you mow or walk over it. People from the road can't tell. That is kinda exciting to me. 

Yesterday was another big step day. Over 30,000, and over 13 miles. I had to try and nap before I took Hope. I was tired. I've been waking up before my new early alarm for some reason. Basically the time I used to wake up, but i don't want to anymore. Today, i am not doing shit after work. It's supposed to rain, so i am going to relax. The rain is only for today though, so i can start my garden tomorrow. Get some more mulch too. 

It's hard to predict the new normal now. If you think about stocks, what kind of price earnings ratio are we looking at now?  A lot of companies aren't making shit, and eventually the price will have to reflect that. if more people start working from home do they make their own coffee for pennies on the dollar of what it costs to go out?

I cannot even think what the new entrepreneur is going to come up with in this new World to make their fortune. Less commutes = less use of automobiles and public transportation. We listen to sirius a lot at work. The djs are working from home. No loss of quality to the show. Why wouldn't they just keep doing that?  Watching our sports on television in empty stadiums?  

You know what the next big thing is?  More take out restaurants. Why not?   More curb side pick up. See you tips. Maybe things go back to normal too. I just don't know. I don't know the shelf life of the covid-19. None of us do. 

We surely don't want to do things to make the shelf life longer. We don't want to do irreversible harm to the Economy either. How many dead is acceptable to not have another great Depression?  If the dead are mostly old people I am happy to have the number be rather large. If the dead turns into me, than I am not a fan. 

Such important decisions the people in power must make. Plus they have to get reelected too if that is their wish. Personally I live a pretty covid-19 type of life. I don't give a shit about travel,  I dont care if I eat at home. I dont give a shit if I am not in a big crowd. My lifestyle was made for covid-19.   My jobs seem to be covid-19 proof too. Baked goods,  and sanitizing floors. 

So obviously people have a lot to stress about. The new normal we dont know. The next big thing is hard to predict. Maybe cleaners will be the next new sports stars. Sports will bring in less money from big events I assume, but cleaners are making the World safe for everyone. Nahh,  that won't happen. 

The World has changed. Just like that. If Trump's wealth is in hotel properties, that may or may not be highly leveraged, he may be a poor person. 

Anyway, there is going to be some financial pain for some people. Especially if this thing has a long shelf life. 

Gotta go. Should shave today.

My Life Is Normal

I was taking stock this morning, and I realize I am lucky. My life is normal. We got this crazy thing going on, but my life is not too different than what it would be without Covid-19. Also I like my life, so I guess I am lucky. There is always a chance I lose my Saturday job, cuz that company is letting people go. Not my company,  but the company who hired us. A lot of what we do helps quality control, so a good chance I keep it too. Just not sure. It's extra anyway. Still they pay me good. 

So obviously not everyone is in my boat. We still dont know the full extent of the damage to the economy. It's hard to predict. Restaurants, Airlines,  travel, hotels, sporting events, concerts etc...   higher education?  The cost/benefit in getting a higher education was way out of balance already. Not worth getting an undergrad if it coincided with a small house size debt. So the damage we have yet to see. 

My bakery job is safe, cuz we aren't selling big ticket items. We just sell shit people like to eat. You don't need a lot of money to buy stuff either. I am pretty liquid, no debt. Lisa's job is safe too, cuz it is basically a discount hardware store. I feel pretty secure about our finances. 

As to opening up the Economy,  I'll leave the discussion for other people. I am working,  and happy to be. I'll let others make the macro level decisions. I am just all about masks when in buildings for now. For as much as possible keep your spit to yourself. That's all I am saying. 

Yesterday was okay. A little under 30,000 steps. We worked a full day, I ran the tiller. Lisa did a shit ton more weeding, and we finished up load 2 of mulch. I am going to cut the grass today, and fertilize. We have 3 days of rain this weekend. So we will get our next load of mulch on Monday. We just have the back yard left. We have more weeding to do, and I have to get my garden in soon.  Still a lot to do. Plus the dogs need walks etc...  busy busy, but I guess I like it this way. Being off those two weeks was not my favorite. 

So yeah, taking stock everything seems okay with me. It's hard not having the virus on your mind, when its everywhere, so that is a little bit of stress. For me stress is better dealt with by being busy. 

So yeah that's it. Nothing major. Same old same old I guess.

There Is Profit In All Labor

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. We had a super easy day of work yesterday. 4 hours. I did get a lot done outside. I'd say I worked from like 11:00-5 or 6:00 PM. I ended up well over 30,000 steps, and over 13 miles. I am very glad I have a rototiller. It isn't a big pimp daddy one like you would rent,  but it is a 4 cycle,  and does the job I need it to do. I tilled, pulled weeds, put edging down. Fixed some pavers that got run over in the winter. I ate tacos,  and crashed. I dont know how long I slept, but I crashed, and feel great today. 

I guess that is a perfect day. A day filled with labor that makes you hungry, and tired. Eat good, and sleep good,  and ready to do it again. I'll probably plant my garden this weekend. I'll have 3 gardens this year. One for tomatoes, one for zucchini, and cucumbers,  and one for beans, and radishes. That is a lot of watering.  

Really not much going on besides that. I hope the virus is dwindling down. It really has stayed with us a long time. I assume it is here to stay for a while too. 

I guess everyone is wearing a mask now in the White House. In a capitalist society there should be two questions people can put forth. Risk vs. Reward. The risk of not wearing a mask we all know. The reward for not wearing a mask is none. So on a risk/reward basis it's a no brainer.  I see some, maybe a lot weren't given that important organ. The other is cost benefit. Cost of wearing a mask is minimal. They aren't expensive. The benefit is security. Not getting a virus,  and not spreading it. In a society where money is everyone's first love perhaps they should think in terms like this. 

It's not rocket science. There is no infringement on some so called freedom, it is just common sense. People seem to be confusing the issue at hand. Just keep it as risk reward, and you should see clearly enough to do the smart thing. Especially if you live in a well populated area. 

Other than that I got nothing. I got some more stuff to do today. A little more tilling, and mulching. I probably will work close to a full day, which means my day will be full. More vitamin d for me please. 

Anyway I spose.  

Laterzzzzzzzzz.      :)

You Know What's Easy?

Changing the string in your trimmer. I bought a new one last year, my previous one was like 20 years old, and was done. 20 years though is pretty good. Anyway you cut two pieces the same length. Say 15'  line up the arrows on the bump head. put string in each hole, it should catch. Turn bump head away from arrows,  and just twirl it til you have like a foot of string left for each piece. Done. I had no idea. Thank you YouTube. 

I am up early, and I'd rather be sleeping. I was done sleeping for some reason. Yesterday I pretty much just worked. I bought string for the weed eater,  and restrung it at 4:00 AM.  :)  I have quite a bit to do today,  and actually this week. Mostly outside yard work. We did get our first yard of mulch done, and we have our 2nd. Our front yard will be done either today or tomorrow probably. Today is my weigh in day. I am at the point where i dont want to lose weight. 160 is fine. As predicted I ended up at 70 miles last week, so doubt I'll gain weight at that activity level. Especially since i try to eat a lot of fruit and veggies. All I do is pushups,  and pullups too. They are good exercises though. 

Outside that not much. MI is doing good on the virus front, except for West Michigan where I live. I feel pretty safe. I socially distance,  and wear a mask whenever out. You just never know though. Like why are Illinois, and California all of a sudden so bad?  Who becomes president if both the president, and VP become ill, and unable to perform their duties?  Is it Nancy Pelosi?  Hahaha.  Wouldn't that be funny?  I don't remember the hierarchy of that, but it could be that, and the virus is close to those two. 

The local lumberyard is still doing good with masks. They have security at the front of the store too for trouble makers. Selfish people think the mask is irritating to them or something, but the mask isn't for you. Its for everyone else. I see maskless people in an enclosed space all of a sudden I think selfish. Ignorant too. I don't know if people think this is a game, or trying to be cool or what. 

Whatever. It is a pretty true thing the World has always gone out of it's way to kill people. People on their own have done a pretty good job too of following that lead. Death is a constant. One none of us escape. I'd like mine to be a bit further down the road. 

Summer is coming. People will be out and about. My lifestyle isn't high risk. I don't really socialize much. I am comfortable at home. I like hanging out in my yard. I like being at my house. Even before this thing happened I pretty much stopped even going out for a beer, not that I did it much anyway. 

I don't miss sports. Doesn't bug me. I haven't even been watching TV. I guess we've just been pretty busy. I think I am going to finish my coffee and take Hope. Then I'll finish my book. I have to go shopping,  but closer to 10:00. 

Laterzzzzzz.     :)

Another Day

Good morning. How's it going?  Me,  I am fine. Yesterday was a pretty good day.  I am good at work, so today should be pretty easy. I got the oil changed in my truck. Same old problem. I was time wise supposed to get it done in January. It is May, but I wasn't even at 3000 miles. The guy says, "you know you are not due right?"   I'm like it's been like 6 months so go ahead. I feel good when that gets done for some reason. 

My blood pressure has been reading a bit high, so he added a pill. It sucks the other shit gave me a cough, cuz my blood pressure was perfect with that. I did take my BP yesterday,  and it definitely ticked down. I was honest with the doctor. I weighed 161 pounds the last two Sundays. I am at a good weight. I am active. I eat pretty good. I make a salad 90% of days loaded with veggies. I try to eat an apple and orange each day, and I use lemon juice a ton in my water, which I drink a lot of 

I told him I typically have 2 drinks each night. Basically cut 50% from my previous norm. I could quit, but I find two is manageable. Anyway,  I told him I know drinking is horrible,  but I'd like to continue having 2 drinks each night, but not at the expense of living. 

Basically, I cannot on my end do to much to improve my blood pressure. I don't add salt to anything either. So another pill. I think this will work. Its really the only unhealthy thing about me. That is a load off my back. 

I saw something too about vitamin d deficiency being perhaps one cause of the covid-19 hitting people hard. Luckily we have been getting yard work done, so plenty of sun time. Lisa takes a supplement for it too. 

Anyway, I got my prescription, oil changed, and a yard of mulch dumped into my truck. We have a good start. We will probably need 4 yards total. 1 yard is like 13.5 bags of mulch. We pay $30 having it dumped in our truck. So we probably save at least $10/yard give or take. Assuming ~$3/bag. I priced out sod too, and I may do that in spots. Easy fix.   :)

This shit is pretty exciting. Getting shit done, getting our house ship shape. I guess I feel pretty good, and pretty positive about stuff. Getting back in my routine is pretty sweet. Being busy, being outside, being tired at the end of my day. Eating a meal, and crashing. 

I have plenty of cash in hand, and not much to spend it on. I like that too. All in all things for me seem pretty good. Always kinda worry about the virus. It's definitely a bugger.  

Gotta go though. Have to make a salad for the next two days.  

Laterzzzzzzzz.     :)

Hey, I Got The Grass Cut

Lawnmower back, and I got my grass cut. Today we are going to pick up a yard of mulch. We have 3 sunny days ahead. The plan is do the front, and then the back. There are so many weeds. We are going to be spending a lot of yard labor this year. My trimmer is out of string too, after I got most of the trimming done though. 

I was over 28,000 steps, and 12 miles yesterday. So activity wise I am getting back to normal. It appears I'll be approaching 70 miles this week. 

I don't think there was much else. The virus is a stinker. Illinois,  and California have been shut down as long as us, and  they are on the rise. My county seems to be on the rise too. I generally feel pretty safe. I  think everyone who came in the bakery wore a mask. Maybe there was just one person I saw. A former employee, which is beyond ridiculous. 

I guess if the President is seen in public without a mask it becomes political. Everybody wants to be seen as a tough guy, or girl. Well, the President wasn't so tough when say the Vietnam War was all the talk was he?  So please everybody quit trying to play a Cowboy. You ain't that tough. Your hero sure as fuck isn't. 

Masks are the new norm for a bit. The Asian population has been doing it for a while. I always thought they looked foolish,  and now I realize it was just us Westerners who are foolish. Pride comes in many colors. Pride is silly in all forms pretty much. No one looks dignified while they are taking a shit, so it don't matter what costume you wear. You can't hide from being the animal you are. 

An animal would be foolish not to minimize risk if they had the chance right?  If you could minimize the risk of getting an invisible bug you should. It's hard to beat invisible. You can trust me. The voices inside my head for a long time had the upper hand over me.   ;)  

Anyway, politics, heroes,  and pride can potentially make us all do foolish stuff. Youth too. Youth is full of pride. We all shit though, so pride should be far away. We are after all pretty disgusting creatures. Typically we are all for prolonging our existence though. Take pride out of the equation and mitigating risk seems like a good idea. To me anyway. 

Today should be okay.  I got a lot of yard work to do. It interrupts my sleep kinda. A lot I want to get done each day. 

Gotta go though.  

Laterzzzzzzz.      :)

The Day Can Surprise

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. Yesterday was kinda surprising,  cuz right before I was close to getting ready to start dinner I looked at my watch. Over 30,000 steps, and over 13 miles.  Wow, I had no idea.  I broke down my old fence panels into their respective individual pieces. Kinda clearing up the back yard. I still have so much yard work to do. 

I got my mower back, and my snow blower. That shit is kinda exciting for some reason. I get to cut the grass for the first time today. I dont think work will be a very long day. Bakery is open today to customers. 3 in the store at a time. We are not sure what to expect. People can still order curbside too. Almost everything is available. We still have to do some catch up on brownies and bars eventually. Everything else though. 

I got a lot of outside work to do. Yesterday wasn't bad. I don't feel like I tried to get 90 thousand million things done. Just broke down the fence panels. Picked up some garbage, got the yard waste bin out to the road. I went through the new gate to get it there.  ;)

 I made a super easy meal. There was sausage gravy left at the bakery I took home. I was too lazy to make biscuits, so I cooked scrambled eggs, warmed the sausage gravy with it, and mushrooms,  garlic, onion,  and cheese, and put it over a couple pieces of toast instead of biscuits. Pretty damn good. Took like 5 minutes to make. 

I had time to read a few chapters of my book, and fell asleep at a decent time. I am super excited about the yard work today, so I didn't sleep late. Today should be a decent step day. 

Oh, I took Hope for a walk yesterday. 50° is the temp in West MI where fewer and fewer people are willing to go outside. I take Hope in freezing temps, but I found 50° to be an interesting number. MI people are not that hardy when push comes to shove. 

Anyway today is a day. I actually have time to take Hope before work. Maybe eventually I can bring back my ridiculously early alarm back. One week ago I wondered how in the heck I ever did it. 

Anyway, I spose.  

Laterzzzzzzzz.      :)

Another Project Done

So, we finished the fence. Our backyard is done except for getting rid of the old sections. Not a hard thing to do. I don't think the city offices are open yet, and I need to get a dump pass first. 

The World is as crazy as ever. We are what we read, and a lot of people read hate, cuz that is all that's out there. Hate. The voice of reason has taken a back burner to other stuff. Ridiculous stuff yes, but once you are in its grasp there is no helping you pretty much. Lost. 

I am going to continue to work, eat, and sleep. It is what is best for me. I read more of my book too last night. I gotta finish GOT sometime, if I feel like watching television sometime again. I find sleep to be a good thing. I like a good meal. I like a busy day of labor too. Stuff getting done. Tiredness is my enemy kinda, but also the result of my typical day. 

The future I do not know about. I feel pretty secure though. The virus is scary, cuz you dont know how it will affect people. Financially we are good. That helps. My area code about 1 in 1000 people got infected overall. A town north of us the people went crazy. Crowds gathered at a popular hot dog place with no social distancing. They had to close the state park by the beach cuz the crowds were nuts. These are the people who will get sick. These are the people who will keep the virus alive. 

As I got older and older the less I liked crowds in the first place. Crowds are a young person's game. Give me work, eat, sleep. I don't need anymore than that. 

People are going to want to go out and have fun as the temps improve. I guess over the years I have become a stay at home person anyway. I dont find being sociable is a thing I need to do. I am not lonely, and I am not sad. The discourse from the average person is not something I particularly crave. I keep my own counsel so to speak. 

I feel good doing this. It is calming for some reason. Today will be work, and a meal. I'll do some work in the yard too. I get my lawnmower back tonight too along with the snowblower. Got them both tuned up. Should be ready for Summer,  and then Winter. 

Fun fun. I probably wont see you out and about.   :)

Laterzzzzzz.        :)

Crazy Times Indeed

So it is May. The weather was stupid nice out this weekend. I went to the local lumberyard, and it was trashed. I couldn't believe how much stuff needed to be put away. They have been smart though. No mask no entrance. I feel people out and about with no masks will be getting the stink eye. It is just common sense. It doesn't mean you all of a sudden turned into a commie socialist liberal. Just common fucking sense. 

Yesterday I was out, and saw like a group of 10 motorcyclists just standing together with no masks or anything. I get it when you are outside,  but if you go in to the gas station come on. Some had leather chaps, which I all of a sudden would have negative thoughts toward. I have become very judgemental these days. 

I don't have a political point to make just don't be fucking dumb. Guns don't kill viruses. 

Anyway, I can finish up the fence today. We added more concrete. Lisa knows how a good mix of concrete looks, from her mission trip. I watered mine down too much. Our gate is up, and works. I just have to put on the 2xs, and pickets for an 8' piece, and its done. 2 entrances to the back yard on both sides of  the house. I like it. 

I am back to work full time again. The week should be busy, but today will probably be a short day. They opened up for chicken business this weekend,  and sold out in less than 3 hours both days. Crazy right?   We got the last two sandwiches on Saturday. Not being a sit down type restaurant, but an easy take and go, they can make a killing. For the next month give or take people will be rich in West Michigan kinda. The extra $600 on top of unemployment is a windfall sorta. Typically we aren't making that much money. Us blue collar types anyway.  Things will change once it all runs out though. We've had two companies I know of locally laying people off. One was 1000 people, and I am sure the other company had a more significant amount. 

Gentex was hiring hiring and hiring. Expanding at a ridiculous pace. They have a new big addition to one of their many buildings, and now they are laying people off. No one is buying cars.  

There is going to be a macro effect to this thing. How bad we don't know.  It is a scary time. A lot of stuff to worry about. 

Today should be okay. A simple day. Work,  fence, eat. Wanna read my book too. Its good. Oh the 10 day looks real good. Only highs in the 50s. Less people out and about. 70 and sunny is the worst we could have right now. 

Anyways I spose.

That Early Alarm Is For The Birds

I am definitely shutting down my early alarm. I have been nowhere near close to being able to get up with it. Like yesterday I just took the dogs after work. Today we have a project to do. 8' of fence, and a 3' gate. The last of our fence projects. We now will have a gate on both sides of our house which should make things easier.  Next week the bakery will be open 4 days per week, so we are getting back to normal. 

Our numbers still kinda rise in my area. Like around 10/day. Our population for my county is ~291,000. So .8 people out of 1000 get infected as we are now. I was at the grocery store the other day, and a good majority of people had masks on. I feel people social distance too. That could be the new norm I guess. Unless you are an angry white person who is pissed off about something or other. In Michigan the protestors appear to be the bottom of the human chain. People appear to not be showered,  many weren't wearing masks. Just gross looking people. Cannot even imagine what they want to accomplish. 

The pen is mightier than white trash yelling at the top of your lungs making a fool out of yourself. Write a letter to the editor. Start a blog that no one reads.   :)

Today should be okay. I got work,  and our project. The hours will fill up. It's kinda what I want in my day. The hours to effortlessly fill up, a dinner, and sleep. 

You know who I feel those protestors are?  The ones I warned about in my writing exam I needed to take to graduate College. The kids who grew up in their small town. Maybe they graduated High School, definitely no further. Their learning came from parents. Their small World,  and their parents if they had 2. Now their whole understanding of the World is very very limited. Of all the lives that dont matter, without change that one is the least important. Without change though,which everyone is capable. I won't toss the first stone,  but obviously it isn't an easy thing to reach people. Especially when this is all you got. 

Anyways, I spose.  

Laterzzzzzzz.     :)
