I remain somewhat overwhelmed by the to-dos which seem to multiply daily. But, I'm determined to be patient and work on some good new habits as I settle in. Journaling constantly, just to keep on track. I now think the tremendous fatigue of the first week was not just exhaustion, but altitude sickness, I forgot that I went from 200' above sea level to 5000'.   

All the 'stuff' is now unloaded into the house; some of it just had to wait for some spurts of work in the cool mornings. The next phase will be setting up storage shelves and tucking lots things onto them; and some new furniture/storage will need to be acquired.

Was gifted an airfryer, and so far it's fine, but not sure it's worth the counter space it sucks up--and must always be used on a wooden board so that it doesn't melt the countertop! It's been good to encourage me to prepare some simple meats and veggies.

Got great deals on a few garden tools, and finally started using them. Hoed weeds from the driving area, trimmed the stalks from a sad yucca cluster. The biggest one I had to saw, and it was so prickly to get to, I had to don a canvas rainjacket as armor.

Blasted the cochineal stuff off the prickly pears, but have not soaped them yet.
