“A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.”

Benjamin Franklin

I am about out of groceries, I need to do a trip into town. I haven’t been to the big city for my Costco trip in two months. Something I did every month before. The roads are still icy from the freezing rain. If I wait too long the weather is going to turn nasty. Very cold coming, and just as that ends another big snowstorm is predicted. I don’t think I can make the big city but I will have to go to the local town. Disadvantages higher prices, for me that means less groceries but I will survive.

How am I doing today. Not bad, but I know I have to chainsaw and chop plus the trip into town. That will tire me out and I need to get a little more work done in my wood work shop, before the next cold spell which is tomorrow. Bad news it is already  1:00 pm. I only have three hours to accomplish all that I aint even dressed and I need to scrape ice off the van windows and windshield.  Gotta go.

Oh ya I am talking to a woman online. I don’t mean to minimize that event but I need to see if she is real.

Made it into town got groceries, ran into an old friend, that made my day, also made a new friend. The only bad part was I couldn’t remember her name, I had to ask. I really don’t have many friends here. I made it home got out and chainsawed enough for a couple of days and even managed to chop enough to get me through tonight. (yes I did cheat a little and cut small logs)  I would have cut more but I ran the chainsaw out of gas.

Fuckin sore now. I was walking funny today at the store glad to have the cart to steady myself.

I bought a pre-cooked chicken earlier when I was shopping, I had that for supper. The pain was rough from the day, so I laid down and passed out for a few hours.

9 pm got the same headache I had yesterday feels like my head and chest are filled with cotton.
