Jan. 19th, 2025 06:40 amHuzzah, I finally feel normal again. I didn't even think about it when I got up, I just realized as I was drinking some coffee ... nothing hurts. So I guess I'll go for a run today.
We finally got some trees cut down and split, since we had a little break with nice weather before this monster cold front moves in. The dead bay laurel turned out to be too spongy to burn - it actually burst when it hit the ground. Going a little further back, Fox found a sick and damaged pine, but we ended up having to cut down a healthy one as well. We normally don't like to do that but it made felling the sick tree super easy, and now we have twice the firewood. We managed to get all that cut up and split before rain moved in. We're not super-human, we just have a hydraulic log splitter that mounts on the tractor.
I haven't been writing or doing anything much creative this week. I've got a friend's character card I need to play around with, and I want to finish up a day in Over The Mountain. I've spent more time just reading and letting my brain soak up things. I ought to be able to do some of that today, considering I've gotten a lot of major chores finished up and I feel physically and mentally well again. Not to jinx myself, but I don't even have any back aches from dealing with all those logs.
This thunderstorm is nice. I love a good storm.
The lady whose wallet we found? The package came back marked return to sender - unable to forward. I guess we did everything we can do. It's weird the stuff like that you find. I'm keeping a running count of iPhones we've found (3) and I say this because the stretch of highway where Fox picked that up is going to officially be ours soon. The county accepted our "adopt a highway" application! We were requesting the stretch of 315 heading to SR21 where we most often run, but that was taken, and we got the section just to the south that goes towards McRae. We run that too, or I do more often that Fox does. I pick it because it has some hills, and if I go far enough south, there's a small church with an outdoor water fountain. Anyway, I'm going to be picking up trash by the highway, just like my guidance counselor said I would! I should call her! :D
