Busy day planned.  Going to go see if I can't find a dress for my upcoming formal event.  I've been looking online and have a couple of ideas, so hopefully this won't turn into a long, drawn out event.  I'd like to get home and cut some more grapevine and get the yard mowed.  How's that for ambitious? :)

Adhered to my no processed sugar vow yesterday.  Day 2 on the way!

Taking a break from the farm today to get some office stuff done.  My body can use the break.  Rain kept me from working too hard yesterday.  Every time I went out to do something, I got rained on, so I was pretty much a bum most of the day.  It felt pretty good.
 
I am starting to feel the need to set some goals.  No question I am getting a good workout on the farm, but I need some specific ME focus as well.   I have no discipline in my life right now.  I'm doing whatever I damn please and eating whatever I damn please.  Really, not a good combination.

Today's discipline:  No processed sweets.  Not a lot, but a start!

My butt is dragging this morning.  Had a super busy weekend and got a lot done on the farm.   Taking Fred to the doc this morning to check on his eyes.  He thinks we're getting close to having the 2nd corneal transplant done.  It would be nice if we could do it before the new fiscal year starts for our insurance.  We don't have to pay for anything before October 1st.  We'll see what the doc says.
 
Yesterday's 3 hour work session netted progress on just a few trees.  Those trees look really good though.  We took a ride around in the cart last night and I commented that we could have an army of people working and it would still take us forever to get things cleaned up and under control.  One step at a time I suppose..... I found and marked three baby oak trees.  We have so few on the farm, that its exciting to know they are getting established.

I've been feeling kind of crappy the past few days and I think its because that's how I've been eating.  Going to focus the next week on cleaning up the diet and eating less.  I've been eating infrequent heavy meals and I know better.

Happy Friday!!!!  Back to work on the farm today after a couple of days off.  I'm going to take a break to run back to the store and get a very cool pair of red patton leather shoes that go on sale today.  They will be a very nice addition to my OSU football celebtation wardrobe. :)  Also have our Friday afternoon late lunch gathering.

Big Ironman weekend with Canada and Louisville going on Sunday.  This got me going through my old pics and doing some iron reminiscing. Fun times.

Cat did really well at the vet yesterday, but I went out afterwards for a beer anyway. heh.  Got a couple of small house projects done yesterday, but took a break from the farm.  Glad I did, I'm feeling much better today.  Did a lot of reading on herbicides yesterday and honestly, I'm just not all that comfortable spraying a bunch of crap on the farm.  I don't think we have a choice in certain areas if we want to control some of the more nasty stuff, but I want to talk to some wildlife people before I start going crazy with the stuff.

Taking mom out for her birthday today.  I had lunch in mind, but she has shopping and lunch in mind, so that's what we'll do.  We'll probably have lunch at Panera.  It just opened in our neighborhood. Luckily, its just far enough away to not be totally dangerous. ;)
