Yardwork Finished, Fertilizer Applied
We got the twigs bound and cut up anything larger and put it on a patio tile base in the corner of the yard to dry out so we should have some firewood by fall. More importantly than finishing up the clean-up, we got fertilizer applied and this will stand as a record of when…

Getting Old Is No Fun
Starting exercise class yesterday along with planting the trees left me physically exhausted so we took today off and did inside stuff. I’m happy that we got the plants in but boy, I forgot how much work it can be. Oh well, it’s nice to take time and do nothing. Back at it tomorrow.

Exercise Class and Arborvitae Installation & Maintenance
So Sandy is more comfortable getting physically fit when she’s in a class setting or working with a trainer. Which is quite the opposite to what I do which is exercise on my schedule. To that end we started the ‘Energize’ class this morning. We’re the youngest and I’m the only guy. My only iffy…

Tree Cutting
I hate cutting trees, only because I they take so long to grow and I really like trees. But as discussed yesterday, it’s time for a change. So we spent the day taking out the old and getting ready for the new. I thought that 16 trees would be way too many but now I…

Arborvitae Have Arrived
Lots of years ago we tried to put fruit trees on the north fence line in the backyard. Every year we had high hopes as they grew and got green and even some initial fruit. But always a disappointment. So we decided that a green wall back there is the way to go and bought…

Adrian’s Birthday
Although it was technically last Sunday, we all got together to celebrate Adrian’s birthday today. It also happens to be Hanna’s boyfriend’s (Mike) birthday. I didn’t realize that but it makes sense, I’ve already called it that Mike and Hanna are going to get married and his birthday falls on the same as her dad…

Hurray for Fridays!
I’m not sure why but even though I’m in between jobs, I’m always happy it’s Friday. I guess that’s fine as I still have the Sunday blues even though I have no reason to dread Monday’s at this particular point. It looks like I’m going to be helping out my old job with some simple…

A Dying Friend
A young lady I worked with 3 jobs ago is dying. I accepted a friend request from her maybe 9 months ago and was a bit shocked to find out she was undergoing chemotherapy. At the time I didn’t pay much attention, she was young (a couple or so years younger than I) and was…

New Foliage
Sandy took off for WinStar and left me to my own devices. LOL, that just means that I don’t have to be quite when I wake up at 3am and start on the computer. I did get some yard work done. I kind of got happy that I got the leaves picked up and remembered…

Job Searching & Biking
I finally think I have a system to start applying to jobs en masse. I created a share on the NAS and will have a main sheet to track applications and keep copies of the posting and what resume I sent. I really need to pay attention to what I’m sending out as I caught…
