Time spent mowing the back yard was tiring but relaxing. And it left me with a sense of accomplishment when the job was done. On the other hand, setting up a printer with my computer was much more frustrating than it should have been. And I'm not 100% sure it's setup properly yet.

As of today I'm drinking less coffee, cutting out diet coke from my diet, and drinking LOTS more tea, Slim Tea today. Having less caffeine in my system may help me sleep better. And if I sleep better I may lose weight easier. Experimenting with different teas will be fun. We'll see what changes may come in my overall health, if any, over time, with these dietary changes.

The last time I used the Google Keep app was over 2 ½ years ago, and then very sparingly. In my ongoing quest to minimalize, I'm looking at it again. It may be very useful, certainly cost effective.

Is a good morning nap in order before tackling the day's chess? Perhaps that's what's needed to clear last night's fog from my mind. And it's NEVER a good idea to work on chess (or do much of anything else, for that matter) with a fogged up mind! I mean, just look at Joe Biden for example.

Have just done a quick walk around my yard to see how much has recovered from the hard freezes a few weeks ago. The grass may come back if I take care of it right, but a lot of the big bushes, especially those by my back fence, appear to be dead, dead, dead. And there are some big branches that have fallen from some back yard trees.

Man! The Cubs are really blasting the ball tonight! They're only in the 4th inning of this scheduled 7-inning Spring Training game against the Dodgers and are up 7-0. Three home runs already and lots of solid hits.

Hoping for a good night's sleep. I'm due for one, actually.

Back inside after this morning's battle with the weeds in the front yard. Hot and sweaty. Made good progress, but the war continues. Expect to reengage with the enemy in a few days.

Zombified! It's the tree pollens. They do it every time. According to reports our very high pollen counts today and over the last few days comes from ash, elm and cedar. Tree pollen in the air ALWAYS forces me to megadose the allergy meds. So it's either be sick with the allergies or be semi-here as a side-effect of the meds. It is what it is.

Today is gray, damp, and chilly here and the extended weather forecast says this will continue for the next several days. Not very cheery, that. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze a little yard work into my schedule during these days; that'll go a long way toward keeping my spirits up.
