I’m so tired this morning. I got up earlier and was really slow at getting out the door. I ran into the neighbour coming down her driveway, so we walked together. That would be fast, real fast. 

Now I’m tired and my legs are sore. Oh well, I definitely got a better workout than I would have on my own. I’m determined not to ask her to slow down, so if nothing else I end up burning a ton of calories. The good news is that the rain has stopped, and the sun just came out. So I think I’ll go do a few things outside (or cut up and freeze more meat and then go outside).

Well, I’m still tired, but it’s night so I can sleep.  The pool guy came and gave us a quick fix (plugged the outlets, bypassed the returns in the ground, and dropped a piece of tubing into the pool).  He won’t be back for a couple of weeks but it’s nice to be able to run the pump without then having to fill the pool up.  He doesn’t think it’s really a big problem, but it will be two or three weeks before he’s not so busy and can come back to fix it.  I’m actually so glad we started dealing with him two years ago.  The service is much better, and he’s cheaper than the last people we were dealing with (some of that is because he, on purpose, didn’t finish the opening this year - and I did the rest).

Tomorrow looks like it might be a decent day so I’m going to get to bed soon so I can be well rested tomorrow.  I finished bagging up the meat sauce today, put the last batch of chicken in to freeze, and cut a big eye of the round roast into (hopefully) stir-fry meat.  We’ve been using flank steak, but it’s pretty pricey.  The eye of the round was on for $2 a pound, and the recipe I use with the stir-fry seems to make the flank steak very tender.  So, we’re going to try some tomorrow to see how it works.  If it doesn’t work well I’ll thaw the rest of the meat I sliced today (in the future) and use it for beef jerky.
