Slog went ok. Bit of wind kicked up. After I didn't linger on the chaise. With the fence up I have more yard to use. Before, the fence fell on Mr xs shrubs and they all tumbled on the lawn.

Tonight I watched a fb live. Someone I know was selling cheap jewelry for $5 plus $4 sh. On each item? I had only seen pics of her. Had never heard her speak. Or laugh. She's very personable. I was friends with her dad.

Her fb live was like those jewelry shows on TV. The seller speaking to the audience. On those sometimes they take callers. On this one folks were texting her comments. I stayed silent. Lord knows I don't need any more jewelry.

I was looking at long sports tops on Amazon. I'm feeling self conscious in my size too small tops with those dang bangers up there. I may have to get a few correct sizes plus with a higher neckline. At least till I slog off a few more pounds. Hate getting more stuff tho.

Can I dump any more stuff? For a while I dumped a small bag each week, but I went thru all my clothes. Did I go thru all my earrings? I don't think so. But those are small pieces. I'm looking how to dump the treadmill. Don't even remind me of the washer/dryer. And my TracFone expiring soon.

Well, the fence is done! That's a big thing. There are two other sides. I'm not going to initiate anything. But the banger house might decide to swap out the fence. They're doing everything else. I suppose I would agree. I'd ask who they're using. I wouldn't want some cheap co like my bro would get. He used to get guys who advertise in those throw away newspapers. I know a lot more about repair guys than I used to. I know better how to pick them. Tho sometimes it's hit n miss as with Amazon reviews.

Din was shrimp veg over brown rice, mahi mahi, and orange. I just had this Premier protein crunchy nut bar. It has low sugar and carbs. My ch is lower in morning. I'm already on my second box.

Well tomorrow supposed to be another slog day. We'll see. I'm monitoring the temp. But I could just wear a light jacket and capris. I make such a big deal with the temp. Cause I wear shorts and these skimpy running tops that are freezing in cold weather.

Got to get back on track on the slog train. It's over 60• but not by much. Soup was cream veg. Just had chocolate nut protein bar.

I had this long distance runner muse. But she has leg prob now. She was running too much. Training for 100 milers, running for a couple days nonstop. She's going to have to cut down or not be able to run at all.

I need to find another muse.

I'm not feeling the love today with the slogging. Have to remind myself how it's beneficial. Plus knee got extra day off. It'll be strange to have the fence up. Tho the bangers are on the roof. They would be able to see me. I'll have to ask Mr x where exactly are they. He's always peeking what they're up to.

And he picked up the yard after the fencers. He rated them a D on that. He said there were small bolts left on the back 40. If we had grass, that could really ruin a mower. Plus I could twist an ankle on it.

I'm still dragging. Just getting up that two hours earlier messed me up.

Mr xs din was lasagna, broccoli, and orange. Too much lasagna. And I ate it all. This is how I eat myself out of outfits. Well, no more food till tomorrow.

It's creepy cold here. Reminds me of the endless, cloudy SF days. I'm wearing leggings. I knew Mr x would go bats over it. I've had it for some years but couldn't fit into it. Now I can.

It's a comic book print. Mr xs eyes bugged out and he started turning leggings around. He said it's marvel comics. There are pics of Batman, Batgirl. It's upside down to me wearing it.

I found a $15 coupon for TracFone renewal. Got to do it soon. They're putting on the roof next door.

I aborted slog. I was just dragging and it looked so cold out. And I had eaten my protein bar, too. I planned to slog. But when it takes this much effort just to get out the door, it's better to skip. It'll give my knee a rest. It continues to click. This means to keep on track I have to do wed and Thurs slog back to back. Plus sat and sun. We'll see what Nutella knee says.

So I just opened two weeks of mail. There was some climate credit on electric bill. Lots of sales ads that I dumped.

I have brain fog so obviously I can't work on bills. Just added them to the growing stack.

I think I'll go down for the count. At least a couple hrs. Soup was wedding. Pasta rounds, spinach. Elegant enough for a wedding.

It's going to be a chilly slog today. Barely hit 60• no 86• for sure. But the fence is done! It fell on 1/19 and was fixed 4/19. Three mos seeing back nabes house. Now fence is up high. It is very attractive.

However they really messed surrounding areas. Mr X's alley was quite nice. Flower shrubs blooming, his useless huge plot of mint, the fledging tomato plants behind the tall cage. Well, they had to drag all nabes shrubbery thru our narrow alley. Why not go thru his side for that? They used our alley for carrying all the planks, too. But his yard is a mess, so maybe no access.

Guy hit the tomato cage a couple times. Dragging the shrubbery knocked off a lot of flowers. Later guy blew the pathway and all the stuff went into the plants. Mr x spent two hours this morning righting the wrongs.

I looked up nabes wife. Mr x had said she seemed very nice. Well she was a 2nd Grade teacher for 39 years! It matches.

Got a last em from the hubby saying hope we liked the fence.

Fence guy came right on time. They're using our alley to carry out the planks. Mr x is agog at one of the workers. He's a mountain of a man. He carries wood posts that are 80# like it's nothing. Back nabe had all this shrubbery which they cut down and threw on our back yard. At least they're using nabe's electricity. Mr x saw one of the guys pee on nabes shrubs. They're using my patio table to eat. We are prisoners in the house.

Mr x woke me at 7 a.m. by poking me. Saying peck, peck, peck. He's wearing that ever present yellow sweatshirt. I told him I had a nightmare a big chicken was pecking me.

It was 86• it was one hum dinger of a slog. I had to rest a bunch of times. But I didn't get a headache. Maybe I'm acclimated. Mr x said that back nabe was out when I was out. He's a senior guy, tho, plus there's a wife. I did wear my short crop and was really poured into it. I took the last measurement of me. I'm 2" more than last year. I may not be able to wear my crop when those bangers are here.

It was so lovely to have peace n quiet. Tomorrow the fence gets done. Goodbye back nabe! It's going to start at 8 a.m. told Mr x to get me up at 7 a.m. it's not like we have much to do. Open the gate. Show them where the water n outlet is.

This was such a pain when it happened. Luckily the nabe had dealt with this fence co. I am very happy I didn't have to vet companies.

Soup was cream of mushroom.

Greetings! It was a long, noisy day. Clang bangers particularly odious. What are they banging? They've pretty much dismantled the whole double story house. One can really start to hate them. What if someone had a baby? You can't open window for fresh air anymore. For a whole year? You can't enjoy your yard. Can't have a BBQ. It's so intrusive.

Nonetheless, I did my slog. It was warmer, which was nice. Was able to stay out listening to you tube for a couple hours. One more slog tomorrow then the fence goes up.

I'm measuring myself. Got one more to do. Periodically, I like to take stock. Recently, I've had a lot of trouble getting into some of these slog tops. My wt went up a lil over winter, but I am some inches bigger. No wonder I'm having trouble. I need a L yet I'm stuffing myself into a M. But for the grace of Spandex, there go I.

But I do not want another layer of L clothes. I shall reduce until I can wear my stuff. That's my motivation.

I was watching this woman do gymnastics. Floor, bar, balance beam. She could do cartwheels, do a headstand. She wasn't spectacular like an Olympic. Yet she had the moves.

What was jaw dropping was she was 91 😱 absolutely amazing. I didn't think that age was capable of that much control of their body. You wonder what she was like at 50. 70. 80! I liked seeing someone push the envelope that far.

My Tracfone is expiring soon. I think I'll add a one year on it. It had that great call quality. And with a year I won't be bothered renewing every couple Mo's. Want to look for some discount codes.

Soup was Manhattan clam chowder. Mr x making deli Sam tomorrow. I asked for no hot sauce. That last Sam he did was firey hot and gave me tum ache for a couple days. I didn't tell him that.

Well time for church radio. Another reason I'm studying this is so I know references. Many, many times folks reference something biblical and I'd like to know what they're talking about.

It took 5.5 hrs to feed Wally. I needed a nap after. Then din. Needed a nap after that, too. Mr x has some Charles Bronson movie on. He had a busy day trimming shrubs in alley so those workers won't break stuff. Why are they always guys?

Church radio touched on topic I wondered about. Said God made Adam fully grown, not a baby in a diaper. But why? I mean he lived like 900 years prob but why deny him of a childhood? Also did Adam n Eve know they were the ones responsible for the fall off man? Were they married?

On Bronson show this bugle music was playing. Mr x asked me if I knew what it was. I said taps. He was surprised. Said I know a lot of random stuff. I guess I picked it up watching TV thru the years.

I'm sleepy but I have to feed my hungry hungry hippo Wally. I'm sleepy. Can I hang on till my nap? Just had Mr xs Friday omelet.

I missed yesterday's blog. Heard from back nabe. He said fence going up Monday. So I had to em him back. Today I wrote the check and Mr x delivered it to him. This time he met the wife.

There are lots to consider. Nabe said they may need access to our yard. I thought of Mr xs new hose nozzle. They may need water to mix the cement. I didn't want them to drop nozzle on ground. So Mr x simply removed that hose. There's another hose in the alley. And they may need electricity. I didn't want them coming in garage to maybe bang something against my car. The door, also, could blow in. Told mr x they could run cord thru mailbox. I don't want the door left open with all the thieves running around. But there's an outlet on patio.

Then yesterday was a slog day. It went fine and was warmer. It'll be nice not to be seen by back nabe. But I still have two more slogs to do.

Then, last night I was looking up ice cream makers on Amazon. I was looking at this Dole pineapple whip. A soft serve frosty. Grr... I want. Tho I don't want the carbs. Anyway, I don't really want another machine. And I banished ice cream. I had a hard time getting into my long crop yesterday. I'm a size too big. But darn I want that Dole whip. Had it once at an amusement park. And I love the way frostys swirl.

Got to fold clothes.
