i told ya it was windy

Feb 28, 2023

The wind died down before midnight last night but not before it took care of a couple trees near the barndo. One of them was already dead and the other left a pretty alive looking tall stump behind.

told you it was windy

Looks like normal is trending for today and I’m ok with that. 🙂

The only non-normal thing is that it feels like Thursday and it’s only Tuesday. And that slow transition into better sleep I promised would begin this week? Welp… so far I’m failing. I went to bed earlier last night — before 1:00 AM — but got up before daylight. ARG!

For the record, it’s hard to get motivated to do projects when you’re sleep deprived. I hit all the “must do” items for work, but when it comes to prepping the upstairs bedroom and bathroom for paint I just can’t seem to get started.

So many holidays… so little time.

Today is National Public Sleeping Day! I’m going with Katie to an appointment this morning and if I snooze, I shouldn’t feel bad since it will really only be celebrating. Even better? It’s National Pancake Day too! I can get into that. However, it’s also National Vegan Lipstick Day. Whaaa?

Who are these humans? You know, the ones that declared, “February 28th should be a National holiday for vegan lipstick!” Good grief!

TIL (Today I Learned): Cheetos were designed to be addictive. A 2013 investigation found that Frito-Lay spent $30 million a year on 500 chemists and psychologists to attain the perfect mix of crunchiness, aroma, and “mouth feel.” They melt in the mouth immediately, tricking the brain into thinking it hasn’t eaten much.
