It has to be a nuthouse because we are going nuts. Well, we were up and running at 6:30 or 7:30; we were not sure since the time changed! Finally, after consulting the computer, we found out the correct time and had to get ready to go to the gym (commonly known as “the torture chamber”).
We walked into Peak Performance and were immediately herded onto the stationary bikes, where we pedaled for almost 45 minutes. We kept thinking,” Why does this feel extra brutal today?” Then we noticed the rubber belt running from the wheel to a tiny generator.
Turns out the faster we pedaled, the brighter the gym got.
So yeah—if the lights were on, it was because we were basically human hamsters paying dues to run the building.
We made up an excuse to leave 10 minutes early because I had to get a blood test at 10:10 am. I was worried because I forgot to study beforehand.
Off to the ” 800 Building” on Tuston Blvd, where I was poked and prodded until they found a vein with sufficient blood flow to fill the two-gallon jug. After the blood letting, I wondered why I was so pale (or was it pale?).
The blood letting was on the first floor!
We were going to go out for breakfast, but our favorite spot was closed—rude. So we pivoted like mature, adaptable adults… and ended up at Orange County Farmers Supply on a thrilling quest for corn, spaghetti squash, broccoli, and cabbage.
Orange County Farm Supply is a locally owned family business that supplies a wide range of products, including soil amendments, organic fertilizers, seeds, mulches, compost, potting soils, garden supplements, and a wide variety of garden tools and bedding plants.
Originally established in 1948, Orange County Farm Supply was purchased by John Roy in 1962. Since that time, it has continuously been owned and operated by the Roy family. When the Farm Supply began, it truly was a farm supply, selling agricultural products such as fertilizers and chemicals, farm equipment, and seed and fencing to all the local farmers.
Over the years, we have transitioned to what the local economy is interested in, and even though farmers are still shopping with us, our customers are mainly homeowners and garden enthusiasts. Additionally, we have many commercial accounts, ranging from Disneyland and the Orange County school districts to condominium complexes and office buildings.
Nothing says “fun Monday morning” like aggressively shopping for vegetables we have to stash in the trunk of The Silver Fox.
Decisions, decisions, decisions!
After making our selection and stuffing The Silver Fox with veggies, we headed home!
After unloading our goodies, we had breakfast steaks, twice-baked potatoes, and an amazing salad!
