This morning I did not do much and I told Mel that I was quite tired. She shared that I was on the steroids for two days and now I was coming off of it so it was expected that I would still be tired. Eating has been interesting today as I do not think that I am eating as much. I have been going to the washroom every couple of hours which is not super pleasant so the&nbsp; issues with constipation are now gone. I have not taken as many naps today and the fatigue is not as bad as yesterday but overall it seems to be getting better. I am not sure what I did today, but the day has gone by rather quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Jr. high I still managed to use my same speech that I had used for throughout elementary school. For some reason in school I always had money and when I looked at the yearbook what I was known for was a loan shark. I lent out money to my friends for pizza days or for whenever we had treats. I do not really remember or know how I always had money, but even now I always have some money lying around somewhere. When we first got married I had wanted to buy a new bike and Mel said if I had enough money then go for it. So I found the money. Even now I want to buy a 3D printer or a Herman Miller chair and I think that I have enough cash lying around that I could probably do it. There are some jobs that I do where people pay me in cash and I tend to just save it forever. I have a reputation for spending a lot of money, but I tend to hoard my cash and save it for various things. I hide it and forget about it. There was once where we were collecting money for some fund raising event that we were doing and I managed to collect a couple thousand dollars. I &#8220;hid&#8221; it somewhere and could not remember where. Mel was freaking out because we had to hand in the money, but for the life of me I could not remember where I put it. We eventually found it in a super secure spot, but ever since then Mel did not really have much faith in me. RIght now I still wonder where I stashed some of the cash that I had. I am not sure where or why I stash away cash instead of putting it into the bank. Perhaps it is from my parents who use to hide valuables away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now Mel and Xavier are still in the yard prepping it for next weekend. Xavier is using a blow torch to kill all of the weeds. It seems to be working, but Mel is still required to pull up some of the roots as the fire does not get to the roots. There will be a lot of work to get things right this week and I need to remember to buy everything that I need for our joint ridiculousness. Mel had said that I am allowed to decorate with some decorations so I am going to go online and buy a bunch of things that will make our backyard epic. I would buy a balloon arch, but it is so much work to blow up all of the balloons and I do not think that I want to do that. I will need to start prepping my brisket at midnight or so and then have it cook slowly overnight until 7am where I will then let it slowly keep on cooking on a very low heat until we are ready for dinner. I also need to check out our rotisserie and make sure that it is all fine. Those are things that I will do later this week, as today I am too tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Q<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been rather tired today, and my hands are cold, but there is no tingling.
