Rough, spat upon, and limping.

.

Well, okay, no one spat upon me and I am only limping to gauge it's ability to draw sympathy for the unseen ailments, but it is rough! I tried to wake at 10:00, then reset the alarm to 13:00 after I could finally get to the device at around 10:30. Alarm clocks really are annoying when you are not able to quite wake. I did wake at about 11:45 though, before the second round of annoyance. Limping, if not needing to, groggy for certain, and a bit more out of it then even that would normally imply, at least I started my day with no pain. And the sun is shining! In the world of gray of late, I have certainly come to enjoy that big orb.

I am not sure what I am about today. I see the workbench, leaning or laying about depending on which part, in the kitchen. I cannot quite tell if it is giving me an evil eye for not finishing it or mocking me for having defeated me to date. Maybe it goes back and forth in some kind of mind game. But it is on the menu. When I can pull my head out of dream land.

I wish I had been able to rise early. With the sun being out, by now, I might be out doing some things. I would love to get my rope out and begin working on some of the attachments and notions. I would also like to check the roof of the coop to make sure the wasps up there are gone. While, if I decide to work on the bench I will have no time to work on the rope tying, I should be able to check that roof in a bit as that should be a quick thing, assuming the roof is dry enough to attempt navigating.

I suspect when I begin figuring out my climbing system I might be hours or even days getting the contraption together and then tweaking proportions, tensions, attachments, and all that might entail. It is a "job" I am looking forward to doing. Remember my dream of camping in the trees rather than on the ground? Not so much a tree-hugger as an avoider of fauna, should I ever begin camping more regularly. Plus, just having homegrown climbing skills that will, to a degree, translate to other types of climbing plus having some of the kit has been a goal for as long as I can remember.

Anyway... My mind seems to be waking up. In an hour or so I will be off and running, or not. We will see. Have a good day.
