Not bad, not bad at all.

Tacos were good.  I had a shell-less taco, a taco salad I suppose.  It wasn't too hot, but had more than just hot spice.  Including allspice and cinnamon.  Tasty, really.  I also made refried beans, for Boss.  He prefers that.  I didn't have those with formal supper, but had some with... the later dinner.  Dinner?  Or was the first dinner, this supper?

The backyard was watered again, and the side yard is getting hit.  I think, hope, that will be it for a while.  The front yard and part of the side yard look good, but part of the side yard and a portion of the back yard really were a bit rough.  If they are still rough in a few days, I may hit them again.  As well, I may mow in a few days... on the highest setting.

It is warmer tonight.  Technically?  Yea.  But, it doesn't feel hot, warm even.  It is almost cold... a smooth cool.  It was that way before supper... dinner? the first meal.  So much so I, for the first time in over a month, turned the ac's off upstairs and opened it up.  It's a bit of a risk, but fresh air is splendid, and I may have done well.

An hour left for watering.  I could move the sprinkler and do one place, one more hour.  And I may.  I really abused the side yard this year.  And, yet, it is coming back fairly well.  A little more water in one last area, again, could really help.  Plus, staying up another hour, with as cool as it fills, might help me sleep much earlier tonight?  Maybe.

I can't seem to pray as much as hoped, quite yet.  I am into decades of Hail Marys' and perhaps a decade of Our Fathers, plus regular, meal, and concentrated connection prayers.  I hope, as it cools, I can do a bit more.  I just can't maintain focus.  I even fall asleep, sometimes, with my standard prayers.  You'd think I'd do that with the ten to fifteen minute quiet... receiving... part of the prayer, but usually it's during requests for the ill, the weak, the lame, the church, clergy and other religious, and such.  So many of you need so many prayers!  :p

I do my best.  If it cools a bit, assuming I don't crash from that, and begins a slow decline, I should be able to get back to the rosary... hopefully in a month.  I'd really like to add a morning and night one, and think I can... most mornings and nights.  I want twice a day, for intentions.  Some will be static... family, specific family, the church, but having extra for special or situational intentions is good.  I never had enough of those when praying the rosary just in the mornings for that year so, various times.

I really want to sleep, but I think I will mover the sprinkler and get that done.  I will be so ready to sleep when that is finished.  I have an half hour and changed before it's time to move it.  Tomorrow I will work on the phone, clean shelves in the basement for cans of food, shower, do dishes, and maybe hit another load of laundry.  As well, clean in the kitchen.  I got the stove top and a counter cleaned off tonight, and have the freezer top mostly open from a few days ago.  I have paper plates.  I need disposable utensils, smaller disposable plates, and styrofoam bowls... then I won't be falling behind on dishes as often or deeply.  Ran out, went a bit broke... yea...  Back to it.  Later, or more likely good night.
