Spring has Sprung!!!!

Good God, the years are now FLYING by, and before anyone says it's age, even the school kids are commenting on how fast time is going!!!  I think we really have  been sped up!

Work is FLAT OUT, which is not surprising for this time of year, makes for some decent pay packets thankfully and since I added Calcium and Magnesium to the cocktail of what I take nutritionally my back has never been better!!!  Well, it has... pre driving spreader trucks LOL.  But prior to finding turmeric I was at the point of thinking of other jobs I could do, turmeric saved my job, but now cal/mag has made it enjoyable again!!!  Only thing is, I can't afford to NOT take them, miss one day and the back is screwed again in that time and takes a week to get back to being OK.

Got the Bighorn and float on the road and legal again, just need to start getting on Smokey again too LOL.  Heading up north to see mum again next week so the bike will be clocking over some more kms and the heated grips will get a torture test done on them hahahaha.

Marcus is still a decent human being for the most part, loving this year for bringing that change about in him and in the right light you can see a tiny black smudge on his upper lip hehehehe.  The little boy is growing up!

Cats are all good, Bear the Demon Spawn is coming up 7 mths old, Leo is getting old but a bit of devils claw added to his food has put a little spring in his step again, Vada LOOKS old (he's only 7 but that is already getting on for a Great Dane!) but he's still as loopy as ever, he is feeling the spring rush too, looping around in the paddock like a grey hound at night LMAO.

On the bike this weekend, a bit of a full on weekend actually, tons to do and still no energy to do it.

And that's my life, all caught up on just like that!  Don't know what I used to post on FB every day!!!!

oh yeah, stuff like this....

Procrastination Beaten AGAIN....

FINALLY the bighorn, tow wagon and float are on the road and legal and usable and poor wee Smokey IS gonna get dragged out to some trail rides this season!

Blew a radiator hose pulling the hay in back in December, is just sorted again now LOL.  Just need to grab a new battery from work on Monday for it, tried charging them both twice, but one is still letting the team down, so last thing to do and then to use the damn things and stop the cobwebs from covering them!

I feel so accomplished LOL, it truly is the little things!  And now it's a raining and miserable day so the rest of the weekend will be spent doing sweet F.A. after a BIG week at work (which went surprisingly quickly!)

Vada hasn't had a guts ache in over a week (touches wood super fast!) Roger is grazing across the road in a shit load of grass, and now I just need to book the ferry for the next trip up the North Island next month to see mumma bear.

I sort of feel like my life is getting sorted in small ways.... oh and it may not seem like much, but last pay day my mortgage finally dropped to 5 figures instead of 6 WOOTWOOT, #winningatlife

(seriously, what the fuck are hashtags all about????)

Boredom leads to sleep which leads to...

no longer being stuck in a cycle of only 6 hrs sleep!  First time since the kid has been born I guess!  Sadly I still feel tired during the day too, better look into the thyroid playing up again... always something to keep an eye on LOL.

But within that boredom that leads to just going to bed cause theres nothing else to do, is my life closing off more and more.  Hermit like.  Have my very dear soulmate that reckons he's a hermit, he's fucking deluded!  He has people texting him left right and centre!  Whether he answers them is a different story!  But he has people in his life big time.  And I introduced him to FB where he spends a LOT of his awake time, just being around people in that sense that FB allows you to do.  I'm thinking of canceling my text plan cause it's just a waste of money, that's how little contact I have with people outside of work!

No one to talk to, no one to take an interest in, no one to take an interest in me quite quickly leads to isolation.  Just sleep your life away.  Life becomes the pocket of your backyard and place of work and I have NEVER socialised with workmates.

Plus side of having animals, they start bellyaching loudly if you sleep in too late in weekends, so you have to get up to feed them and while you're up, you might as well do some other stuff.

And I got TWO rides in on the weekend!  Oh yeah!  Just what was needed.  The shit weather didn't really eventuate on Sunday so went for a wee 100km spin for a green tea and to watch the world go by for a while (yep, more isolation even while moving thru the countryside hahaha) and then raced the temp. drop to get home as the clouds just started rolling in.  Good weekend.
