🈲 April 15

 🈲House news. The electrician ran the cable from panel to 1 st floor deck

Thru the wall at joist level w/ plastic conduit under the deck and up thru the deck 

Only took, 30 yrs. Done tho' 

However, the work is not in vain or of presumptive value. I did run the heating cables most of winter and longer this year than any other 

Groceries hauled back from Metro 

update. decided to take advantage of power to the upper back deck. I usually put out a kaleidoscope light in the front for Xmas season. This past, November, knowing that i'd run heater cables out front, I passed on the porch display.
Yes. Hooked up the kaleidoscope on the back deck on timer. Some entertainment value then 

I'm reporting that I feel tired. Maybe, not quite over the cold of last week. And I have been monitoring my diet to keep carbs down esp bread. Nothing against bread but the temptation to do ' easy ' is always there - chunk of bread and jam or meat etc.
I credit much of my weight loss [ 182. 6 to 172.4, at last weigh in ] to less bread. In fact,made rice for lunch

🈹 ... in the ' boro ....April 14

 🈹 ... you wake up to the hammering rain. Ah, green grass and clean sidewalks

the day cont'd w / buckets of rain

A regular trip out to Skyland for Chinese hotttable stuff. Also, sea salt ( not iodized), some lamb shaving ( used for hot pot 🍲)

The illness meant that I missed last week 

I reduced clobber by sorting 10 or is shots down to 3 ( maybe 2 would be better ). The items were old, not suitable or both

Thirteen April, ' boro wise

 warm flows gusted over the Scarborough heights....... Moist and bringing rain 

inside the house, a former electrician went to work basically creating a new power line from the electrical panel to a potential re activated deck receptacle 

The receptical hasn't worked since we bought

The receptical site is needed to provide power to back roof heating cable system that's in lieu of running 40 extra feet of extension from the downstairs 

🧣 still chill ....

 🧣... and wet. substantial
warm is coming   . as the week goes on .... looking forward,  60 F average for Mon thru Fri

my respiratory system is clearing out ... plenty of unmentionable stuff snorting out ... yick factor, for sure

chores for the day : shop the Tiger, laundry and dinner prep. ... all in hand for 6 P dinner

received a long distance call from UK - brimming w / hope and one potential downer
however, fingers crossed  ..... and we shall see said the Zen Mastermix

dinner : shake and bake commercial mix using boneless and skinless chicky thighs. small roast potatoes and zucchini

terrif ! says the chef

 

🥳 eleventh Aprilini

 🥳 ... under the framework that no one will notice

' boro. sunny and cool, headed for 48 F. And ... dunno

my head is clear and pain free. nose is stuffy. getting better

ahead .... cannot decide.

🪞 tenth of the fourth MMXXVI

 🪞' boro. tolerable weather at 48 F w/ chance of rain for days [ not a downpour ]

plate renewal for the truck accomplished. what a rigamarole ? By accident, I saw a receipt dated April 29 2024 for renewal and it said ' 2 year '.
Due this year right ? Nope May 2027

other fish to fry tho '
ripper, zipper lets get going

Aha discovered an explanation for the discrepancy between 2026 and 2027. Guess what? The plate license gets renewed automatically yearly because the province wants any tolls and fines paid in the year that they resulted from. So they want their money up front and they're they're willing to give you your license plate for free 

So lunch became bring in the burgers, the fries, and the Greek salad. Yep, we ordered in and I went to get it. Great meal tasty. Lots of it. Great meal

🩻 ... coming back ....

 🩻 ... the flashbacks are tossing and turning, a little too warm, headachy and long - meaning long waits for the night to finish or the uncomfort to finish

Well. almost there then. head is clear for this morning w / no body pain AND no drugs. Robacet was my choice to relieve pain but at night - Nyquil, for everything that was going wrong,
The past two days, has been an emphasis on salt water nasal rinse. AND the uglies come pouring out [ mixed colours and mixed solidity ]
BUT so refreshing being able to breathe w / out the sound of air hissing thru accumulated goo.

And as mentioned, all pretty much the way I get sick [ flu or cold, seems the same to me ]
there was one element missing, so far, I would have bet on a real nasty sore throat to start the whole process running

' boro get s sunshine and partly cloudy.

forecast says - 50 to 60 F, spotty showers
