Slow down, he said.

So I did.  Today went by very quickly.  I just could not get a leg up.  As I was about to finally do something, take a shower, I noticed it was nearly 15:00.  Further I noticed the furnace was set to 68.  That is probably at least part of the problem.  A jolt of heat juice first thing seems to help.  I turned the furnace up, which made the shower better, dressed, and headed to pick up the meat.  He had some other items available, if I wanted, and I decided to try some of what was available, thankfully.

But I didn't want to cook, and clean, tonight.  I decided to drive on to one of my favorite local eateries.  Not only were they closed, they were out of business and the place was up for sale!  Well, since I was at it, I just went a little further, stopping at a fast food joint.  While paying for my meal I noticed that I might have just enough money to pick up my needs for the drywall from a hardware store right near by.  While there, I looked in the Christmas light section, but saw none of the roof clamps.  Those may be online only?  Could they have sold out?  It amazes me how people will just push there cart into an area, then stand, with cart, right in the middle of an aisle.  Even without a cart, people will simply plant themselves in the middle of a section and stand there for minutes or longer, concerning themselves not a bit with other shoppers.  Ugh.

I found two sections for drywall.  The upper-crusty/housewife one (which had little but an over-priced "spackle") and then the contractors area.  The contractors area had everything from bags to pre-mixed, mixers for smaller amounts to five gallon (and larger) amounts, and all the tools you could want.  Pricey, true.  But I suspected that the prices are what they are, wherever, and seemed in line with what I had seen online.  I had choice and quality and prices seemed right if not reasonable.  So, I have my kit.  It cost a cool $60, which is a bit more than I had hoped to spend by $10, but hope and reason are not always well aligned.  I didn't buy screens, as those are based on size, expensive per, and I won't be using them.  They are too specific to consider keeping on hand unless you do that sort of thing often.

The 'enclosed workbench' still needs cleaned off and sorted.  The meat has been put away.  The girls have been fed.  I just need a little breather after picking up meat, eating, then shopping.  Tomorrow I have to be up and at it so very early.  I'll try to be to bed just a wee earlier, but that isn't always in my hands.  Later, perhaps good night.
