 Oh the joy of waking up in the morning in one's own bed. No truck. No engine idling.  Don't have to go anywhere, ie, get in the driver's seat and put in an almost 700 mile day.  Dogs, peace and quiet.  The last 7 out of 8 days have been work.  I dunno if I'll get 2 days off, probably not since baker is allegedly up and running again - I would fully expect to get a run there next, actually.  And that wouldn't bother me, a short run, get it over with and go home again. 

I do have some things on the agenda today tho, if I can ever motivate myself to get moving beyond the cup of coffee sitting in front of me. 

First is to go take a hike into the woods on that one property I was talking about before, 44 acres with a lot of water near the roadside.  If I really felt motivated, go to the hunting property and set up the deer camera. Go to Walmart and get ink for the printer - Taylor needs to print out her divorce papers.  Get a nice latte at the local coffee shop. Perhaps get a hair cut - I need one badly.  And whatever else comes to mind. 

I can't complain about work too much after sitting at home for so long and earning zero income.  But once you're thrust back into it? It can be brutal attempting to adjust back to that lifestyle.  It's easy to start thinking - I could never drive a truck again and be quite happy about it.  

My weight is down again.  After cheating last time, I figured I best not cheat again if the scale shows any weight loss and keep at it until I'm at least under 200 pounds. I went from 218 before I started the last trip down to 211.  It's relatively easy to keep with the diet while I'm on the road - I mostly don't even go into restaurants, but if I do, it's a breakfast meal I'm looking for.  

Oh! The realtor found the listing for the property I saw on 43.  She contacted the agent - the owners want 25 GRAND PER ACRE for that property! LMAO!! It's 11 acres, completely undeveloped, covered with trees, and is in city limits.  So, the city limits thing kind of wiped that out, even if they brought the price down substantially, I already know what the dictator at the city hall is going to say about zoning and trying to change it: NO.  

Oh well, time to go take a shower and get this day started.  I have decided there is a slate of things I want to get done, sitting here in front of a computer screen isn't going to get any of that done!

G'day.
