How do you know when you are old? Something like this tells you. A friend of the Beast's sent over two of his employees to finish up the pressure cleaning of the outside of the house and to weed our garden. I kid you not. It was a most welcome surprise to us when they showed up with the friend and he told the Beast to put them to work.
They worked tirelessly. Of course, they were both young (in their 20's) and had an energy that I could only WISH I had again. The house is now completely pressure cleaned (the aluminum siding gets mildewed during the winter) and the garden has been thoroughly weeded. The weed pile is huge but tomorrow the Beast will put it into the compost barrel. The way they piled up the weeds they pulled, it will be an easy chore.
It allowed (and I think spurred on the Beast) for the lawn to be finished being cut. The Beast didn't want to be seen as a slacker. LOL! He has always worried about what other people think of him and that is the primary reason he gets many things done. It has always both amused and frustrated me about him.
The juice that the Beast has been making with the Nutribullet is not balanced. The Beast has been using primarily fruit in it and not the veggies suggested. It caused me to have a low blood sugar episode for some reason (I checked it with my meter and it was a shocking 60). I thought it would have been much higher but it was a weird sensation since I haven't had one in a long time. I ate some honey on toast to get me over the hump and then had a piece of boiled chicken since the recipes seem to encourage people to be vegetarians and that is one thing I am NOT. It might not be so bad (the stuff the Beast has been making) if he included the nuts and veggies, too. The nuts add protein and that's more balanced.
I AM enjoying this new coffee blend to my surprise. I'm not sure if it's the change in water quality since the Beast changed the filter for the first time in he can't remember how long. I think it was much longer than he was supposed to let it go. He can be such a tightwad about the wrong things at times. But I will enjoy it while I can.
For some reason, taking my shower today felt wonderful. Have you ever had that feeling? It was hot out (again)...95 when I checked around 2pm....but it's been hovering in that area for our high for almost two weeks. The weatherman said today that we don't normally have this type of weather until about mid-July or early August. I guess it's going to be a hot summer. The problem with that is that means more storms for us. I guess I am glad that we have the solar panels for electricity already installed. Bad storms mean more power failures here. It can also mean more tornadoes. *Sigh*
Love you all. Be safe. Have a great weekend. Be sure to use a sunscreen if you spend any time outdoors. ***Hugs***
