Thursday Morning April 28th..31 days to go

Well April is just about gone with tomorrow ending this month of heat, some cool mornings, lots of wind but very little rain which we desperately could use some. The humidity is back but not as bad as we are use to and the heat while it's been close to 90 has stayed very pleasant until the mid afternoon. The mountains are still seeing some chilly mornings and unstable weather with snow or sleet one day and the upper 70's the next with really strong winds, oh well. We are ready for some changes in the temps even if they are some what not the usual.

I started the day with a well before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time with my Lord to give thanks for being here another day and for getting back my strength and stamina especially on the pickle ball court and doing garden and yard work. The shoulders are still an issue with almost constant pain during the night despite rubs of gels and some Tylenol which is compatible with the blood thiner medicine I'm on for the rest of my days. It doesn't do much for the inflammation as opposed to Ibuprofen, but I'm trying to follow the guidelines. I think all this pain in the shoulders is from when I blacked out and fell face down into the shower. 

I had a good workout on the pickle ball court and then came home to work in the front yard and the gardens. I'm trying to get the shrubs in shape for Amy when she brings her crew over to care for the outside when we are gone for 5 months. I worked outside until lunch time then it was catch up on some business trying to recover our cruise refund and then reading the afternoon away. Our friend Sheri who we were supposed to cruise with before I caught covid is still going next month and she has been helping us with this recovery of funds. Steve her husband is in the mountains as I make this post working on his place just down the hill from us. He had another shipping container delivered and is getting it ready for habitation or storage.

I grilled a marinated pork tenderloin for our supper and it was delicious along with greens from out of the garden in a salad. Nancy had made some cookies with coconut in the batter for Ave Mae and I tried one which was like eating a tatter chip. I wound up eating a half dozen in two different setting as they were that good. We watched the Fox news and see where the hypocrites on the Left are having a fit because they have lost their liberal program with Twitter and will no longer censor those who don't agree with their lies. I then tuned into the Rays game and they won 3-2 over a Seattle team finally, LATER
