Clear and cold this morning but at least no wind.

Last night after work I decided to ride out to Five Rivers in hope of hearing the spring peepers, to read a bit, listen more to the audio book I was listening to, and get away. It was such a cold early April morning that I knew once I got home, I would most likely just have dinner and go to bed, which is pretty much what I did. Not many spring peepers though because it was so dang cold. The wind died down by evening but the mercury struggled to make it to 40 yesterday and most of day including during the evening commute had a stiff breeze.

Eggs with onions and spinach this morning and last night was salmon, onions, beans and peas. Good stuff. And dessert was frozen fruit and oatmeal milled up with some sugar-free maple syrup. I really need to get some of the real stuff, I just am always so resistant to eating anything with too much sugar, due to my dad dying from diabetes. But then again, I do eat a lot of fresh and froze whole fruit so it’s not like I’m not eating a lot of sugar at times, though I avoid most added sugars unless I add them and then I tend to go for the types not early digested.

Need to get bananas but with cold and bumpy ride on the bike, I should wait until after work, stopping at the grocery store on the evening commute. Also need baking powder. True both are more wants then needs – I have other fruits I can cook with and use baking soda with cider vinger, but it’s nice to have for good cooking. Trying to have a glass of water with breakfast rather then so much coffee as I find myself dehydrated and peeing a lot from all that coffee I’ve been drinking lately. And I mean, it’s what the doctor recommended I do a few years back.

Going to be shit weather tonight through the first half of weekend pretty much like usual, but that’s to be expected these days. Even next weekend in long range looks wet for next Saturday, which kind of sucks for Mom and Dad’s anniversary party but also at least I won’t feel like I’m missing much stuck in town. That said, maybe I’ll do something from Thursday evening through Saturday morning, i.e. Good Friday but it depends what is decided if that’s going to be a holiday or not depending on the status of the state budget. If not I guess there is always the next week, though soon the black flies will be returning to the woods.
