I'm still here!

I'm still a trash hoarder! But I'm trying. My sister did come over a couple of time, very angry with me. She would say things like "You're not afraid of me!" Well no, I'm not. If I was I would cut off all contact with her. Very hurtful.

My current attempt involves a coworker's husband. I sent him a text with a picture of the area I'm going to clean with a deadline and then I send him a picture when I'm finished. He sends me a text telling I've done a good job. I'm hoping it will become a habit and I'll get the entire house cleaned.

Nothing was found on the MRI. They don't know what's causing the double vision, just that it's not life threatening.So the plan is just to keep an eye on it. It is reducing it's self however. Maybe it will just go away.

I'm still biking! Have broke the 500 mile mark. I have the bike in granny gear as to not bother my left knee. I have learned to keep the tires really hard, as that helps with ease of biking. I have lost ten pounds and have gone from 6 miles an hour to 10!I do believe if my health stays up, that I will try bike packing when I retire and than live in a van. Summer has always been a problem as I just can't get up early enough to bike when its still in the 80's. So I have started biking at night. I have invested in a rechargeable flashlight system that attaches to the handlebar.  It works very well. When I was just using the little light I got from Walmart, I could barely see when I wasn't around a street light. I almost got hurt a couple of times before I coughed up for the Sunspeed light. It's a lot more quite at night too. I like that..
  I've learned how to fix a flat and patch a hole as well. Next up on the DIY path is watching YouTube and finding out how to put in new spokes.
  I wouldn't mind being a bike mechanic.
