So, my savings will remain static this pay period. That's okay. At least I'm not eating into my savings. Try to move forward the coming pay period, yet still buy a new camera and shade fabric for the solarium.
Because of the wind, I did buy some nylon strapping, 100 yards of it. Maybe adding strapping will help keep the wind from having quite as much impact. Worth a try.
Oh, yeah. Need a spare battery for the bike, too. I like having a spare because the bike has left me stuck a couple of times from dead battery. My habit of keeping a charged spare on board has saved me almost every time. Then again, I think it was almost always the same battery. Not buying that brand again, ever.
I just saved this as a draft to add over the day, so time posted isn't accurate. It's now after 7 PM.
Dragging ass. Think just allergies but still have some small amount of chest (pleural) pain. Not feeling actually sick, just really tired all over. I'll take something for allergies but not taking steps to increase my energy because then I'll have trouble getting to sleep.
So, I got really happy. The garden is doing really well. Tomato plants are growing nicely, got them moved out to the tomato patch. It's starting to look like my black thumb is finally turning green. Everything I plant seems to be coming up without having to over-plant drastically. Checked the apple and plum tree at lunch. The apple tree already has dozens of tiny apples forming. The plum tree has many dozens, maybe hundreds of tiny plums visible. (I do expect both of them to abort most of the fruit, which is normal.)
So, of course the weather forecast is calling for a possible freeze in the south valley tomorrow night. So I will have to move the tomatoes in the solarium and wrap the trees before tomorrow night. I hate the damn weather here.
At least the grape vines have been forming leaves but haven't flowered yet.
Got the nylon strapping today. First thing I did with it was make a new collar for the dog. His neck has gotten too thick for the old invisible fence collar. Don't want it digging into his neck.
I'm getting to bed early tonight.
