Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[avator]

Morning...
I have a sleep routine. I got to bed at around 9pm, wake up between 12 and 1am then go pack to sleep until 4:30 - 5am. That is every night.
Anyways... no pre determined plans for the day. The rain is gone but it will be cool today. Low 60's at best. 47 right now. Betty Lou mentioned needing a couple things from the store and I might stop at the hardware and pick up a couple more PVC pipe fittings for that target frame.

You all are not the only ones with sleep issues this week. I've had to sleep sitting up and laying my head on a desk due to a pinched nerve in my lower back. I usually have to lay down to get relief from the pain but this is the opposite of that. I dealt with that for 2 nights and barely could get out of bed the next day. Sitting down gave me the relief needed and I could go back to doing whatever needed done but lay down for minute and that was the end of that. I have been through this before and it won't be the last either. No big plans for the day, it's raining this morning so outside stuff will have to wait. Laundry and a little house cleaning will be this morning's projects.

Good morning GTA! Happy Monday! I couldn’t get to sleep last night either. But must’ve fallen asleep eventually, I woke to the alarm at 0530. Our computer systems are down and I didn’t have a job on me beforehand for today. I’ll have to wait until 0800 to call in, unless they get it back up and someone dispatches me before then. I hope & pray you get to feeling better, Kris.

I forced myself to stay up until 11:30 PM and then went to bed. I think I went to sleep the moment my head hit the pillow, and I woke up at 4:17 AM with a cramp in my left calf. I got up for a few minutes and rubbed Theraworxs on it until it relaxed, then I went back to bed. I stayed awake in bed thinking about things until 7:00 AM though. I got up and got dressed, got coffee and now I am here. The weeds and grasses are growing fast so I have a day of yardwork ahead of me today. It is supposed to get up to 69°F so it will be nice. It is supposed to rain some the next two days so I need to get it all done today, it is currently 51°F so I will get started when I am done with my morning coffee.

Boats.  Already driven the first tour in the rain.  Hopefully the weather will improve.

Rainy and working, but that's okay.  My desk is inside

I have some finish-work on some drywall after my day job, plus I'm going to start measuring out what I need to build a mantle.  Sonja mentioned using a citrus-based stripper on the fireplace, so we have to source that.  A soft wire-wheel was still far too abrasive.  The electrical is buttoned up, though I'll be changing out some receptacles later (about a half dozen left) though there's 2 I may relocate.  Oh, and I need to cut furring strips for our "feature hallway". 

Somewhere in there I hope to glue some field tips on her arrows, and if we have any time this evening, maybe show her how to use the fletching jig.  Also need to find the right CDI module for the Yamaha golf cart... I feel like there's fifteen dozen projects going on and not enough time, to do 'em all, but that's life.

Well folks I bit the bullet last week and asked the doctor for help sleeping.  The memsahib had threatened to injure me because of my insomnia.  He prescribed an anti-anxiety med. ( ?)  Hey.  Whatever works.

Well this stuff works.  I had the first "normal" night's sleep I've had in years last night.

Hopefully it will last as I've heard the body gets used to them over time where you may need more and more to stay effective.

Well it works pretty good right now and that’s good enough.  When it was just both knees and one shoulder that hurt I could still find a way to sleep.  After the last shoulder went there was no way I could lie that wasn’t painful.  With this stuff I can sleep pretty good with just over the counter pain meds.
The snake oil merchant is hoping I can get enough nights of restful sleep that my shoulder injuries will heal some.   Anyhoo I’m just glad to be getting some sleep!

That may be true of some anti-anxiety meds but certainly not all. Beta-blockers can be very effective in reducing anxiety;
acebutolol (Sectral)
bisoprolol (Zebeta)
carvedilol (Coreg)
propranolol (Inderal)
atenolol (Tenormin)
metoprolol (Lopressor)

There are no concerns of effectivity over time with the above but are off label for such use. Speak with your care giver for more details.

  Well it was a beautiful day for yard work in a T shirt and I put in a good 9 hours

 I got most of the 5 acres line trimmed where the mower can't go and mowed where it can.   
 
 Now I am beat and feeling extra pain but also have a good feeling of accomplishment.

Cool mid 30's this morning.. Riley Blackwell (ABC 8 Montgomery) says we'll struggle to get out of the 50's today but the sun will be shining.
Not much hard line planned for today. I know Betty Lou is working on the shopping list.. tomorrow is bulk food run day to the big city.
Up at 4:30, fed the dogs and made coffee. Rambo took a page out of Boss's playbook this morning.. He was the one walking the perimeter barking... must have been a critter out of there. We've been seeing a black cat on the security camera drinking water from the dog bowls on the front deck. It needs to watch it's six... these dogs don't do cats... at all.

Up at 5:40, got dressed and made Sonja coffee and now she's already en route to work.  I have ~ 2 hours before I have to touch my work keyboard- probably do a little gaming, or maybe do some more research on the proper CDI module for the cart.  I got an email from our CEO - apparently all the accounting for last year is tallied and I find myself with a bonus equivalent to a Leshiy 2 REPR.  I think it will go toward new "shoes" for our 2002 CR-V, along with new leather and cushion for the Tahoe's driver seat.   The leftover funds...  As much as I'd love a new pellet flinger, I'm equally inclined to get some stuff for the house here.  Our spare bedroom is given to staging materials for upcoming work.

Today's agenda is work following by working on the home, but we may just take a walk and fling some arrows at the bag target.  The projects ain't going anywhere!

I was out for a while this morning. It's just a little below zero but not too bad, thankfully no wind.
It is supposed to break 20F today. The sunny daytime warmth will be nice.
The snow banks out back are getting too high to shoot over, even while standing.
I was shooting yesterday out of the upstairs bedroom window.
Another snow storm is on the way for Thursday night and Friday.
Looking on the bright side, there is no mosquitoes around yet. 

Best Wishes - Tom

 Plans? watch it snow.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Late field today.  That means I don’t go in until 10:00 a.m.  Worked in the garden some.  I have to build a few more garden beds this year.  Work will be busy but hopefully low stress today.  It’s spring break so that’s just wishful thinking LOL!

[buellm2]

Snowing like crazy here and it's the super wet, dense, slushy snow that doesn't throw with a snowblower.  I'll be shoveling all day in my driveway gym.

[DeusVult]

Breakfast of champions!
Coffee,tobacco, and a quiet house!
Just waiting on the sun...

Carter, is El Nino messing with y'all?

Good morning GTA! Happy Tuesday! Up at 0530, walked the dog and had plenty of coffee. I wound up not working yesterday due to the computer problems, I worked outside around the house. Now, I’m at work diagnosing a heat problem.

[buellm2]

Power just went out.  Guess I’ll shoot some and then move some snow around
