So, I tried going to the sheriff's substation this evening to report the car break-in. The substation was closed. Leave it to NM. I went to the substation so it would avoid an officer having to come to my house when they may have other things going on. Couldn't avoid it, though. Had an officer come over.
I'm not concerned with or hopeful to get the car stereo back. The stereo was in the car when I bought the car for $550. However if the evidence of video and fingerprints help catch the thieves, good. My car and stereo are small issues but it's most likely that the same thieves are breaking in and doing a lot more damage to newer vehicles. I'm not even reporting it to my insurance. Probably result in about $30 paid out and then an increase in my premiums.
So, the dog didn't crap in the solarium today. However, I saw where he has managed to get in the garden and crap there. Maybe not recently, couldn't tell. Chances are he got in when I had the gate open. Least he didn't knock over any tomato plants.
Started some more seeds this evening. Carnations, Asters and Nasturtium.
Did some more cutting of nuisance trees behind the shed. The more often I cut them, the weaker they get. Eventually I'm hoping the roots expend so much energy trying to force new growth that they exhaust themselves and die off.
I also trimmed the red grape vine. Found something surprising. I have two new grape vines growing which I didn't even plant! Cool! Where I had one very old grape vine, I now have the old one plus two young ones. Tons of baby grapes on the vine. The green grape vine took cold damage but had not yet flowered, so will form fruit later. That one bears fruit later every year, so not a big concern.
Still have problems getting motivated to clean house. I understand why. Because there is so much to do it's oppressive. I need to get the house organized and in condition that a couple of hours of cleaning means the whole house is clean.
So, here's my plan. Tomorrow is gym night. Wednesday night I'll clean and organize for at least 2-3 hours non-stop. If I do that a few times the house will be in order in a week or two.
One problem is lack of energy but also insomnia. I pretty much have to take my medication for sleep between 8 and 8:30 because it takes a long time to work on me. What works on most people in one hour takes 3 hours for me. Whoever said people need less sleep as they get older can kiss my ass.
