It's a beautiful, sunny, if slightly chilly day so far here in my corner of the woods. It was 49 when I got outta bed at 8, but it's 54 right now, so we're on our way into the 70s again today! YAY! Makes for some great hiking weather!
Dink is again so sore today...I blame his constantly wanting to play/wrestle with Val. :( I even have to separate them when they go into the yard, or he'll start running with her, then they collide into each other, and he's back on 3 legs again. Right now he's limping, but at least using all 4 legs...so today it's another morning pain pill for him, and he'll have to stay home when Val and I go for our morning constitutional. I feel really bad leaving him at home alone like this, but I HAVE to get my walk in or there's no living with me...and if Val doesn't burn off some excess energy my house won't survive a full day of her attentions. lol
Most of that excess weight has already come off, and I was bad yesterday in that I didn't get all my water into me. Definitely a "my bad" kinda thing...I have "silent" kidney stones, stones that aren't in the collection area of the kidney but instead are embedded in the walls of the kidneys. Which means STAY HYDRATED OR SUFFER! lol So today it's back to the "carry a bottle with me at all times" mentality. Winter gets me like this, I have no problem getting a ton of water into me in the summer, but once the weather cools off it's a chore to drink what I should. *deep sigh*
Guess I should get started on my day before my day passes me by, huh? LOL I'm off to one of the wildlife management sites today for our walk, the hog hunt is over until Friday, so we'll get some nice hikes in this week. AND it hasn't rained, so we can stay dry, too! lol While I love the rain, must admit I'm not fond of hiking with wet feet! ;)
And today is my last day of the first week of the 1 Minute a Day? Really? Challenge...so gotta get out on my gazelle and work it a bit today. THEN I have go get outside and pick up grapefruit...such a bummer, I have 3 mature grapefruit trees, each covered with delicious pink/red grapefruit...and I can't give them away! I'm on cholesterol meds so can't eat grapefruit (it intensifies the medication) and my neighbors either don't like 'em or are on other meds that don't mix well with grapefruit. Such a shame, grapefruit is SO good for you, but seems to be the only citrus fruit that simply doesn't play well with a lot of medications! So, every winter, for months I have to go out a few times a week with large garbage bags and pick up all the fallen fruit. You can't fill a bag, because let me tell ya, a bag of grapefruit is heavy enough that the trash men refuse to pick them up and dump 'em in the truck. And they HAVE to be bagged and placed in regular trash collection, they don't consider them to be yard waste (which CAN'T be bagged! lol) So today I'll end up with maybe 6 bags of grapefruit for tomorrow's trash pick up.
A few years ago I tried offering the fruit to local food pantries and charity kitchens...even THEY can't use them, said they have grapefruit coming out that their wazoo already! Two years ago I got creative...my house faces onto an 8 house cul de sac, but it backs onto a street that dead ends 1 mile down, but sees lot of traffic from people coming and going to their homes. So, I put boxes of beautiful fruit, freshly picked, on the easement by the road, with a large sign saying "Free To Good Home: Pink and Red Grapefruit: Organically Grown". Exactly ONE woman stopped and filled a bag (yes, I even left plastic grocery bags under the boxes of fruit so they could get them home easily) with fruit. I was working in the yard at the time and she thanked me profusely for allowing her to have free fruit. She came back two days later, with the bag of fruit, saying she had been to the doctor and he had put her on cholesterol meds...*deep sigh* So even the best laid plans of mice and men and women trying to get rid of excess grapefruit go oft' astray. :(
But wishing y'all a wonderful OP Monday! Stay active, eat well, and let's DO this thing! :)
