Coffee anyone ?

Our yard is soppy...

...and the pork roast was really good! Most of what I ate tasted perfectly fine, one small bite tasted just a little freezer burned, but a dollop of applesauce fixed it.

Carrots and beans were from last year's garden.
 
Rain continues here, too.....more tomorrow. Every ditch and catchment I pass is brim full!! Do not need more. Bed in a few. Just took an Aleve. My right upper arm, shoulders & back are achy. All the product & shelf movements can get to ya. Right handed so, that side gets overworked 😳 back at it tomorrow, after coffee & chores.
 
@fuzzi that dinner looks amazing!!!! I've gotten into the habit of slapping one dish of anything together. I need to start cooking like an adult again.

It's 3am again. I'm wide awake & ready to make some coffee.
I have been struggling to get good sleep for quite some time, mostly because of pain in my hips & back. I finally gave in & ordered a mattress topper. 4" of memory foam & gel 🤗. It arrived Mon & I got it out of the vacuum pack and spread it on the bed to expand. When I got home Wed AM it was time to put the clean bedding on & try it out. GAME CHANGER!!!!! The only thing that woke me up was the cats coming & going (& a late night call from work). I haven't sleep that good in years. Only difficulty is getting out of the DEEP dent I created in that thick mattress. 🤣
..... so why am I up at 3am? I guess 10am to 3am of real sleep was FINALLY enough. Screenshot_20240304_084959_Chrome.jpg
 
4:30 wake up. Coffee is ready, wind is blowing outside. It’s 36 degrees and cold. Creeks are running, lots of water. My road was flooded, but had drained off enough that I could drive in the middle to go to church last night. Ditches are full. Wind will dry things up a little.
 
Body clock told me it was 3am, to check the clock 😖. Turned over & refused to get up! Slept until 6 alarm. More rains coming this morning....then sat night into sun. So over rain!! There are lakes formed everywhere in farm fields. 😳 Hope it slows or garden will be late prep, like a couple things in past. Oh well, gotta deal. Can't control this

Better get feed chores done & ready to go to work. Back & shoulders better but I know they're there & complaining. Take OTC pain meds & deal! Winter got muscles slack.

So glad you got some good sleep. When we bought a new mattress about 6 years ago I would sigh every night when I got into bed. We spent the extra 💰 and got a Stearns and Foster, so super firm. ❤️

I've got a stash of meat in my freezer from when Covid hit, and I squirreled away food. I'm taking them out, weekly or so, and using the slow cooker to make them delectable.
 
Misty and drizzly all day yesterday, actual rain this morning - just rain nothing down pour-ish and same forecast for tomorrow. Sheep are all in the barn staying warm and dry (spoiled sheep ;) ). Think it's a lot of coffee day, though I do have to take the puppy out to a training class in the afternoon.

OH and WHY isn't the Coffee thread showing up anymore on the "recent" list??? I have it set as "watch". No wonder I missed a lot.
Any ideas ????
