Rising From the Ashes (CL)

Just for shits and giggles got the scales out this morning.
Weight= 135 lbs

So I shall eat my avocado toast guilt free. Just kidding, I was gonna eat it guilt free anyway🤣 In my mind this is the reason my legs have not been cramping up. I have been eating an avocado a day. That’s my story and I am sticking to it!

It’s all fun and games until they go back up to $3 a piece. :rofl::sob:

But definitely not buying this bread again. You need James Bond villain teeth. I have never seen a tougher loaf of bread.

Day 14

Felt good yesterday morning, by the time I got home not so much.

30 mins of dragging the water hoses through the yard to water the plants and fill up the birdbaths will have to count.

Just before dawn the big buck was in the front yard looking for water. I have seen him a couple of times out back, that little bity doe and her fawn having been hanging around out front. I was going to buy her a bag of corn yesterday but the grocery store was sold out after the weekend. Lord knows there’s nothing to eat out there now. We are burning up. Hard to believe we had such a great summer and now it’s awful.

Anyway, I was out watering and here comes a herd of deer! At least 4 small bucks. Yep, I need to get some corn today. I need to investigate this further. The assholes have already ate all my lily pads :roll_eyes:

When I go to the gym I turn the hose on to fill the chicken/duck/ turkey water. With all the rain we had in the spring the big garden has grown up with these shitty wild sunflower looking plants. They are BIG and a pain in the ass cut down. ( will deal with that after they are dead) So, I’m not paying attention and that spike buck I saw running with the others Monday jumps out of the “sunflowers” and scares the shit out of me! He scared me, I scared him… we both jumped. Have no idea what he was doing in there. He was either sleeping or standing mighty still because I didn’t hear him until the jump scare. :rofl:

:roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes:


I fed them before I went down the hill so they would stay at the house.

Looks like you have a cute workout partner. That is funny about the buck. Makes going to the gym more interesting I suppose. :rofl:

That’s Spicy. She was full of herself when she was little. Hissing, biting, scratching. Now, she just play bites… lol

It’s been a while since we have had this many deer hanging around. Everything is thirsty, looking for water. I need to go get the small trough out and fill it up.

Off day. Maybe.

We have to be at the food pantry early. I think “superman Steve” is supposed to work the other side today so I might actually have to pack some produce today. If not, we will try the gym in town again.

All this after I walked the pasture looking for LucyFur. One of my friend’s cat. She got into a cactus yesterday and didn’t come for breakfast.

Yesterday was a bust at the food pantry. We had plenty of food but not many showed up. “Superman Steve” was there on the produce side :roll_eyes:

They have now decided that they are only going to distribute food on Wednesdays after the first of the year, that leaves us out, and probably half their clients. This is why I am not in charge. :zipper_mouth_face:

It was definitely short lived. I knew when it was warmer when I got up, than when I went to bed the f’n humidity was back. :nauseated_face::sob:
