Good morning gang. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day. It got up to 70 degrees and the sun was shining. When I got home I got two of my raised beds ready to plant some Swiss Chard and Kale in which if all goes well today I will be putting those seeds in the ground. I think I can start my squashes and cucumber seeds also in the house. I'm planning on getting the garden done on Memorial Day weekend so if I start the seeds now they should be ready to transfer outside around then. I'm really pleased with how some of my pepper plants are doing. I changed things up a little this year and started them in bigger pots instead of the small ones. Irvin's been going around the property and pulling any scrap metal out and junking it. He's made almost $500 so far doing that.

QOTD: I know some of you read books have any of you read Of Mice and Men? While the only books I've really read were the Harry Potter series and one about cadavers by Mary Roach my plant manager was talking about Of Mice and Men. He happened to have a copy that he brought in for some of us to read. I'm about halfway through it and what a unique look into the lives of two men in the 30's.

B: coffee and eggs with squash

L: Shrimp tacos

D: burgers on the grill

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a great day everyone!!!

CBD oil helped me more than I expected, honestly. I've dealt with anxiety on and off for years, and I really didn't want to stay on meds like Xanax long term. CBD gives me a mellow kind of calm without that weird fog or drowsy feeling. It's not instant like some prescriptions, but taking it consistently helped me manage the edge during stressful weeks.

It has been cold and wet after warm and beautiful March. Mother Nature does seem to have problems making up her mind. Maybe she is drinking too much.

QOTD- Sun one minute, pouring rain the next and frost advisories. Not your typical spring weather, add in hail and wind and that's what it's been like.

I finally planted all of my veggies and flowers yesterday. My back wasn't very happy, but I'll survive. I also went to the movies on Saturday I saw A Working Man, Jason Statham definitely action packed and violent. It was an early show and there were only 2 of us in the theater. I don't understand the allure of Minecraft, I never played the game and am amazed that the movie is doing so well. The next movie I want to see is The Amateur probably some time this week.

I also watched football, not a great game but at least it was football. The UFL team I like is the St Louis Battle Hawks. I'm not sure why I picked them but I like the antics of the fans.

I need to get to work.

Have a great day everyone!

Good mornin y'all.

nothing much happening here. I woke up Saturday barely able to function with my back hurting really bad. So I didn't do much, yesterday it was slightly better and today is about the same as yesterday. I happen to have an appointment with the pain management clinic. Hoping to get at least a muscle relaxer. We'll see. It's gotten me down in the dumps but at least I am still on point with food and tracking. Down a few more pounds.

I'm tired from not being able to sleep much. I'm hoping my mom doesn't have much planned. We have no days off this week from appointments. I need to get some stuff done at home too. Tomorrow my mom has one, Wednesday and Thursday are for me and Friday we've got to get the car's oil changed. Friday were also going out with my aunt for her birthday. I need to make a pendant for her this week.

QOTD: Saturday we were 92°. Yesterday we were 88°. Last weekend we had 5 inches of snow on that Saturday.

B: egg, sausage, cheese, light bread and coffee

L: undecided. Prob soup

D: chicken and roasted broccoli and cauliflower

S: cheese, 1/2 tbs PB and ????
