Rarely happens this way, but my calculations said I should get to the 2\/3 point in the planned mass decrease on Thursday the 28th, and when I stepped on the scale before breakfast on Thursday…there it was.\u00a0 40 down exactly.\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0\u00a0 This means at least 20 to go (may overshoot by 5, for the sake of potential rebound to where I want to be. )\u00a0 Happy with the less joint pain, less difficulty exercising, more daytime energy overall.\u00a0 Miraculous return of strong Plot Daemon hasn’t happened.\u00a0 Gotta learn to work without it.\u00a0\u00a0 Holidays will be..um…tricky, as we have stacked family ones in amongst cultural ones: Anniversary (coming up), M-‘s birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas.<\/p>\n
Paid various property taxes today…last time for the old store as it’s moving on to another ownership.\u00a0 That will simplify things considerably.\u00a0 R- has a new monitor coming for his computer, as the old one was not doing well last weekend and croaked utterly on Monday.\u00a0 Luckily friends had been working on my laptop, so it’s now functional again and R- had something to look at: weather, news, the installed games.\u00a0 Horses are munching hay.\u00a0 I need to get them haltered and brushed up today.\u00a0\u00a0 They might (!) be getting hooves trimmed tomorrow, Laci and I both hope.\u00a0 I need to do the walkaround today, as R- is hauling rocks to fill in the fence end of the swamp some more, so calves can’t get under the fence there as easily.<\/p>\n
Coyote fiesta was going on late last night but didn’t last as long as usual.\u00a0 I suspect the young are moving away from the parents and were out having a last (?) family sing-song.\u00a0\u00a0 The roaring wind of the past several days has finally died down to the kind of gorgeous still day on which (if the horses had been trimmed any of the other times we’ve thought we had a trim scheduled) I’d be riding out in the clear cool morning to check fences and water.\u00a0 Instead, I’ll be walking out.\u00a0 Report of wildlife and plant conditions to come later.<\/p>\n
