Oh... and I installed my dusk-to-dawn porch light today. 
Boy... was that a hassle. Never install your electrical work behind siding unless you have the exact light kit you're going to put in unless you want a big headache. It was about 2 hours because I had to make modifications and find different screws in my big-ole-box of scrap to get the thing installed correctly. Also, it doesn't sit right on the dutchlap siding to keep moisture out, and the gap at the top and the sides is too big to put caulk in and A) make it look good and B) expect the caulk to hold up to the elements.
I'm going to trim it out.
Since it's switchless, I'm hoping that the sensor holds up for many years. It's nice that I can change the bulbs out of this one, so I don't have to worry about replacing it 5 or so years down the line, but I'll have to re-do everything when/if the sensor stops working.
Looks great though and it works. Have to wait a little while longer to see how well it illuminates the area when it's really dark out, but so far so good.

Oh boy... Do I have some paperwork to go through tomorrow and/or this weekend.
It looks as though I'm going to be possibly having a visit with my aunt on Saturday, so cleaning the house may take precedence over what needs to be done on the Dread Project.
But I've just come up with what I believe to be a major breakthrough on it (About my 3rd so far).
If this works out the way I want it to, I'm going to have a lot of fun going over the details here about it.

I was just a little under 147 today after the morning ritual, but that doesn't have me worried. I only got up once all night, and only had 12 oz of water during the night. I didn't even finish it all at one time and drank the last 2 or so oz when I woke up for the morning. It's so nice not to be drinking 6 to 7 times that much during the night anymore.
Also, I had a LOT less brown rice with my meal than I usually do. Probably only about 1/5th of what I'd usually put in there. My intention was to eat that soup that my friend's wife sent me home with afterward, but I fell asleep before I even got to it.
Feeling a little hungry, which is good. It's about time for the morning pill and I'll eat something with it like I'm supposed to.
I'm really feeling the burn in my legs from the yard work the other day. All good pain. I really need to get online and figure out some good leg exercises that I can do with my limited weights and incorporate that into my routine.
No burn at all on my upper body now which seems to have fully adapted to the new daily workout routines. Eventually I'm going to have to add more weight to what I'm doing there.
I love not having to drink so much water all day long and having to head to the bathroom in the middle of doing stuff all the time. It's been so long since I've been able to do that I forgot how nice it was. I'd just let it become my new normal up until the last few days.

Out for a walk on another bright day but cold. Need groceries as I have been eating left overs since Tuesday.

I got some chicken legs that I will fry up and then I don't know. I have some broccoli I should eat or a couple of loose brussel sprouts too.
Bu the nice weather has sure held for today. Maybe my corner of BC will luck out and any rain will miss us.

We're not coming to the end of it just yet, but a huge milestone was reached about an hour ago.
At this point, the ball will remain in somebody else's proverbial court over the weekend.
I hope to know more early next week.

Came back from grocery shopping and caught my neighbors outside and they invited me over for dinner.
That was a good time.
