All Fixed

Turns out there was an electrical problem.  I got to see the eroded wire and casing.  The crew who came (10 men, 5 trucks -- Electric SWAT) was on it and I only had power out for 10 minutes (hence the generator).  The first crew had no idea what they were saying or explaining.  I'm grateful because that could've been a nightmare.  About 2 1/2 hours worth of work.  Landscaping crew is coming to fix up the yard.

I ran the grill yesterday (that's usually hubby's domaine) and cooked MASSIVE amounts of chicken tenders.  I have well enough cooked chicken -- who would think I could say that.  Guess when it's mostly ONLY me eating, I don't need as much.

I also had an active rest 3.5 mile power-ish walk.  Not sure if that was too much for a rest day, but I felt like doing something.  Today starts over (after a rest day).  Either OBE or a treadmill interval run.  I need to see how my heel and back feel after I warm up.  Both are holding up, but teetering on a problem.  I'm leaning toward a run.

Birds are in full glory this year and pooping like crazy on our porches.  I had to clean both porches and the garage doors and the driveway (!!)  It was crazy town of poop, but the birds are beautiful and I love seeing them.

Yesterday felt LONG.  Even though I was busy enough, the afternoon dragged on and on.  I've been really good with keeping an eating routine and a morning routine, but that afternoon change up is hit or miss.  Honestly, I forget to do something some days.  I stopped my phone alarm because my little Duke think that means we're going out.  Not sure why that connection, but it was annoying LOL.  Still working on it.

I also think it felt long because I read a number of reports that this is just the beginning of the crisis in the US unless we start wearing masks and following restrictions.  The quarantine is looming long and longer.  It's also the back end of being home alone for 2 weeks.  Hubby comes back Friday night and that will probably restore my tanks.

AND, the one girlfriend I see on the regular is MIA since her granddaughter was born and she is being SUPER strict so she can be with them.  Kids are isolating from coworker exposure and they are off my list too.  It's lonely this week.

BTW ... The Giver of Stars (Jojo Moyes) is good.  It's a story -- straight forward in time.  No back and forth, no switching narrators.  The book is so dang big though, but the large print is nice.  Guess I need to watch that I don't order large print again.

Today has very little on the agenda.  Food Saving the chicken, workout and that's it.  I think I'll treat us all to a Starbucks run.  Car ride, pup cup and a decaf Americano for me.  We need SOMETHING today -- something safe though.  It's too hot for any outdoor activities with little dogs.

Hope you have a great day.  Stay well.  Later gators.
