Sleeping and reading about the shit kickers 💤

I think replacing that bed sheet with the holes that were getting twisted up in my foot really helped. I didn’t know what size my bed was – full-size – but Googling my blog I was able to find out that important info.

Yesterday was the Holiday Party at work, 🍪 and I eat way too many cookies and spent most of the days in sugar-trance. It was fine, I didn’t end up needing my truck as we all ended up fitting in the shuttle, 🚀 and then I spent the rest of the day kind of slunched over my desk. In the evening, I went to Walmart and got four bags of cranberries – 97 cents each and I like cranberries – along with a windshield wiper and that bed sheet. I have my state inspection on Wednesday, and while the tied on with a wire wiper blade works, honestly it doesn’t clear the windshield well and I don’t want to get shit for it during the inspection. 🛠️ It will be good to know my truck is mostly good once when it’s inspected, though honestly I don’t expect any issues. 🔎

Been plunging through the book about butchering, namely Phil Hindleberg’s Complete Guide to Butchering, 🗡️ which is kind of odd in the sense it starts out with cattle and bisons, then works it way smaller to hogs, goats, chickens, and rabbits. 🐰 I think I’d rather start on rabbits and chicken first. You need some serious equipment to process the amount of meat on a cow, as their big. 🐮

It’s been a cloudy and cool Saturday, 🌥️ and with my family holiday get-together postponed for now, I decided to stay home. For a while I thought a bit about a quick overnight in Rensselearville but I’d rather do that end of week or maybe Schoharie. The thing is next Sunday, I’ll need to be home early on Sunday morning as my niece’s performance in Nutcracker is that afternoon. 🎄 Then the next time to get away probably ain’t until after Christmas Eve, 🎅 though I’m still hoping to get out to Madison County for a long-weekend starting then if there ain’t too much snow or cold. Changes are improving for above normal temperatures during the second half the month.

This afternoon, I’ll probably ride out to Five Rivers for a while, 🚲 just for some exercise and then maybe around some of the suburban sprawl neighborhoods to see Christmas Trees. I really feel like I should get some  exercise as I didn’t get a lot of steps in yesterday, 👣 and with the cold and snow I’ve not been riding in nearly as much lately. But first I’ll probably read and take a nap, bed, as it’s warm under he heated blanket – and honestly I like catching up on sleep a bit on weekends even if I do get up at 5 AM even on Saturdays.
