Just us chickens
We woke up before 8 but stayed in bed.  I got up at 7:50 to start my day.  I swished and watered the plants.  They were still moist from the last rain so I just did the potted ones.  Then I sat at my desktop to check e-mail.  I did a tapping script from yesterday.  It did not have as much energy as yesterday so that must be progress.  Again, I ran into trouble deleting e-mail.  I looked it up on Bing and short of reverting to Yahoo Classic, one solution seemed to be trying another browser.  So I opened my e-mail in IE and was able to delete.  I was doing my exercises when Chris tempted me away.  Then he took a shower and brought up a basket of trash from the garage.  He pulled out the stuff that needed shredding and put the rest in bags that I held open.  Then he shredded while I fixed breakfast.  Making breakfast took a long time.  First I spilled the chia seed and had to get out the vacuum to sweep the shelf.  Then I ran out of the spice mixture so I had to make more.  I also ran out of daily doses of supplements, so I had to make up more of those, too.  Then I finished making breakfast and ate it while reading e-mail.  Chris went to a luncheon for someone he knew at work.  I meditated until he got back.  Then I repotted seedlings: tomato, squash, cucumber.  I scraped dirt from the leaves rotting in the driveway to give the seedlings a good bed.  I drained water from wheelbarrow with the decaying vegetation.  It was a compost tea.  I used it on the seedlings.  Chris left again to go on post to get his plane tickets.  I washed off and changed my clothes, and then we drove to Harvest for honey and duck eggs.  We also got horse manure; some of it pretty fresh.  The owner showed Chris her mealy worms, and chickens and blueberries and flowers, etc.  She had a pen with a group of chicks and a duckling.  She also gave me a salad shooter.  When we got back, I drank some salt water and went out to mow in the back yard.  It looked terrible: mostly weeds and large brown spots.  Unripe apples had fallen from the tree.  When the mower quit, so did I.  I clipped tall weeds and would-be trees from the flowerbeds.  When I got a warning from my back, I quit.  I came in to find Chris shredding old bills.  I jotted some notes for my blog.  I ate some beef and lentil stew for supper.  I also picked some kale and mixed greens from the flowerbed.  I worked almost a week of Sudoku puzzles to catch up.  Chris washed some cherries and fed us both.  Then we watched at least three episodes of X-Files before going to bed.
