No nap, cannot seem to find sleep.

So it goes some nights. Still, I will attempt to be up and out early. I set my alarm to 9:00. If I do not think I will make it, I will simply have to reset it. I think I can do that reliably. Tomorrow is going to end up being a busy day. Not only am I going to visit the yea or nay gun purchase place for Utah, I will also be checking about primers in a super sekret location and hopefully visiting with the owner of the cabin I am to rent. It will mean another long day, much of it on the road. Drats, I had meant to speak with the landlady here, to discuss letting the lease go or trying to get a renter in that late. If I absolutely have to, I suppose I could pay two rents for a month. More than that and I would be in trouble.

I did some sleuthing using Google Earth again. Directions to this place from home, then from that place to the other place. I should do one from the cabin to home too. Though it all seems simple enough, looking at it, it would be easy, especially tired from a long day of multi-tasking, driving, and the heat, to end up lost. I would eventually find my way home. It would just be better to have something on paper.

All this driving, and I get to go to Ogden again this coming Monday. An actual appointment this time, one that was scheduled. I might be able to, after all this driving to and from Ogden and the surrounds, have a simple trip up and back. There will be lines at the clinic, be assured. And parking may be very difficult to find, or so I am told. But after that it will be a drive home and then perhaps a nap. And then perhaps I can begin figuring everything else in my life out!

I have been so busy being busy I have not had much time to simply go shooting, fishing, or anything else. That happens to be a good reality check for when I begin college (assuming I am accepted). School days are fraught with busy. Fun will have to wait for the weekends and times when demand is less than usual. I did, through the help of Daniel at Key Words, find a link to the physic course I need to take, in video, from MIT. It could, should, prove quite useful. I have a different course book, but there should be similarities. I need a headset to hear though, as this little machine is not very loud (or very good quality in the sound department). Tinny sound is fine, so long as I can understand, regarding this type of material.

So much is all up in the air. So far I have been keeping on top of things. The apartment is getting a bit shabby again, but not as bad as it ever got in Coralville. Still, I need to do something this weekend to shake up the place and make it spiffy again. Maybe I can get some shooting in too. If all goes well tomorrow, I might even be able to use the new .22 rifle. I finally have enough ammunition to feed it, get it loosened a bit, and be on target before the great hunter's education shootout of ought 9. If I cannot get the rifle, now or even later, I may check and see if I would be allowed to shoot the pistol. That is plenty accurate at 50 feet. At 70 yards I was hitting a 5x5 every time I aimed for a second or two, at least once I got the sight picture correct and used lower velocity (lower than high velocity, so standard) ammunition.

Everything depends on something else, though there are 4 or 5 different interdependent problems. I am hoping to have most of them solved by Tuesday, though who knows. I have not been this busy since, I do not know! Engineering school, though strenuous, did not require this many different skills, with driving, shooting, learning to use Google Earth, writing emails, placing calls, and doing follow-ups, engineering is simply a different ball of wax. But I love it! I am proving, in little ways, that I am gaining competency, confidence, the will to push back, communication skills, and everything else that had lain dormant for decades, if it had ever been this good. I am becoming alive, becoming human again, and able and willing to stay active. Yes, I like that. If too, it makes me bone tired sometimes. No time to be depressed or to sleep my days away. I am busy!

Good night.
