Sunday on the Rails
Another full sleep got put in the books when I opened my eyes moments before seven this morning. I listened to a podcast for most of that hour before rising to eat some leftovers and perogies for breakfast. The Big T has been posting his Sunday breakfast for a few weeks so I followed his choice. Except I made mine in the air fryer which only takes nine minutes at 400F and cooks them just as nice. I added a sprinkle of cheese rather than the onions he used. It was a nice start to the day. I popped on my crocs and went for a short walk up to the mailbox while enjoying my audiobook. My new headphones had died just as I went out the door so I grabbed my ear buds. Nice to have a spare set of portable listening enablers. There was nothing important in the mail except a hydro bill for me to pay. I watered the plants and came back in. It was some kind of sticky out today. I opened the upper windows in the house to air things out and to further expose myself to pollen. My medication is holding strong, only some minor gooey flow from my nose, no itchy eyes or violent sneezing yet.
Around eleven I cut the lawn. This further tested my medication, to the breaking point. There was a lot of vigorous nose blowing afterwards. It takes me a lot of convincing to actually cut the grass. This round it took me three or four days to work up the courage or gumption to actually do the deed. Also, I got a serious sweat on. I had to take some time to recover after struggling out of my shirt prison. Next up on the list was to tackle gnocchi again.
I had been hesitant because I lacked the broccoli rabe or even the broccoli required for the recipe. After sitting and enjoying my book for roughly a half hour I tackled that recipe and it turned out great. To recover I returned to my lair for more FS19. That are many hours. I disgustedly turned it off around six when I realized I’d accidentally planted two crops in all my fields. I didn’t realize that one planter was doing corn and one soybean. What a disaster future Tugboat will have to deal with. Dinner was a couple ice cream samidges and a half dozen warmed up perogies. YouTube in the bed followed until the Chef called to chat. After that I took a run at some HomeScapes and then just focused on my book until sleep came. It was fantastic. A very relaxing and enjoyable day of rest.
