No pain, no gain?

All good, I have gained enough the last four or five days to last me until next year!  I thought that was never going to end, but like a horse on it's circuit, I just kept plodding in the direction I was supposed to go.  Oh, that was brutal, let me tell you.  With no pain this morning I can clearly see the difference.  It wasn't the sugar, either, I snuck a couple of Snickers bars last night.  Yeah, bought them for my long term stash.  Besides, I figure if they get too old?  Some neighbors would probably not mind having a few free treats (under their control, albeit).  Still, I don't think they will make it so long as to be considered too old.  Anyway, perhaps the reintroduction of potassium has helped?  It is a massively distributed electrolyte, and I might have been more than a little low.  So, yeah, that might be it.  Especially as the world heated.  Whatever, it is WONDERFUL!

Still a bit wobbly.  Every morning for the last five days before this morning I woke up feeling like I did the day after, in seventh grade after beating that kid that tried to force me to use pot and having his friend, a junior in high school who worked loading grain sacks at the Co-op, beat me to within an inch of death.  Fuck em', I still didn't smoke.  Heh.  That's okay, I hear that junior had a really rough month at work.  Don't mess with the kid whose mother serves drinks to your bosses.  Just... don't.  Especially when it was over me not using pot in a conservative little town.  She might not have been able to do exactly what a man could do, but she definitely could catch the ear of a man and put things in their heads.  (Gah!  Hehe)

If I can keep it together, I may try to... oh, wait, it's Sunday.  I will just rest up today.  Tomorrow I plan on being out and finishing that durned hole!  Yeah, I know.  But what I have is what I can give, and to date that has been a big fat nothing.  Dishes, though, perhaps, today.  Just the last little bits of them.  Well, and maybe laundry.  A few loads and I should be good.

I thought I would price window air conditioners.  Hmm, after some measuring, and with my windows, a casement ac seemed best.  My word those are expensive!  The cheapest I saw was $339, they easily go up to $500.  Very frustrating.  I keep looking for a smaller unit, one that might squeeze into my window, and just figure out how to put in a really thick thermal shield above it.  The window only offers 19" for width.  I keep looking.  I just hate paying $339, when I know it should only cost about half that.

Anyway, on to waking up.  And, good morning.
