Tired, but not too bad.

.

Still in the mid 70's, I'd guess.  Maybe low 70's.  Outside.  It's still 85 in here, near the machine.  Rabbits and ducks were given a final check before going out.  Cats will get food, in spite of eating hotdogs left on the counter.  Oh well.  Yes, it makes me angry.  Yes, I should have put them up.  No, it won't effect them getting food, water, or such.  It's what critters do.  I honestly didn't think they would eat hotdogs.  Left the kielbasa alone though, oddly.

It was a nice night.  Not so hot?  Well, or I'm getting used to it, mostly.  I wasn't falling asleep myself, though it is difficult for me to fall asleep as a passenger.  It just is.  Not impossible.  It may happen.  Just, not tonight.  And, last year, if I was that tired, I simply didn't make it out.  Which happened from time to time.

The lawn is being watered.  I will hit the back yard too.  But I want to get it done, quickly.  I keep hitting the alarm, and it doesn't have a snooze, or such.  I've... just lost track.  I don't want to do that tonight.  More to get to bed early.  It should only take an hour and an half if I do it right.  If it do it wrong, it can take twice the time.

The back lawn is mowed.  Which means the weeds, mostly, have been handled.  I need to get a couple of fences removed, they don't help... just in the way... and do more mowing.  But, too, I have the wood pile to rearrange.  The problem with that is that it is simply too hot out there for me to work.  Almost no matter when I wake, it is just too hot.

I'm not that old, but my body really is.  If I could work, I would.  Until I can wake early, and until that early time offers 50s temp, I am sort of sol.  I'd like to rake, bag that, remove fencing, pull the firewood, set the cinder blocks as drains/storage, cut the logs, and restack everything... probably using some of the t-posts on the ends of the firewood stack so as to be able to stack the wood fairly high.  As well, I'd like to begin splitting the larger logs, for firewood.  But, as mentioned, it is as strong as oak, or walnut.  Seriously stout wood, though would be super for building.

Well, the timer went off, and I almost kept... going.  Best change the sprinkler.  It is greening up out there.  It just seems to be taking it's time.  A shrub, on the west side of the lawn, would help.  A hedge?  More a hedge, I should think.  A provider of shade.

Not a lot done.  But I do what I can.  Another shower tomorrow, a shave for sure?  I can hope.  Laundry?  Dishes?  If I can.  So hot.  Study, almost for certain.  And, probably, more sleep.  Not a lot of choices.  Later, or more likely, good night.
