Not a bad day at all, as things turned out.

I was worried, not before but after removing the snow from my drive, that I was literally going to just shut down.  I did it as a single effort, other than occasional standing breathers.  And, yeah, it was getting a little tough at the end.  I took a sit-down breather, out in the X, in the passenger side, before salting.  After I finished that I came in to think on things.  I started sliding into exhaustive oblivion.  I was not sure what was going to happen.  I decided to go on into town.  And, no, I wasn't feeling better by then either.  I figured, worst case scenario, I either drive home right away or find a motel and crash if it really got bad.

As it turns out, life went along fairly smoothly.  I was able to get my friend out to shop.  I pushed him around the first store, but just couldn't in the second store.  We were shopping for different things so just went our ways.  I couldn't think of anything I needed at the hardware store at first.  Then I did browse fertilizers.  Nothing their that I could identify by brand or chemical that I wanted, at all.  And then I remember to look over fluorescent lamps and found two different sorts that would work.  Neither are set up as seeding lights so I would not commit.  I will have to check about spray painting the areas that could be used as reflectors.  Whether that would actually work well enough.  Then again, it doesn't have to be exactly perfect.  It just... is better when as much of what you are trying to do or use is within specs until you know for sure from trial and error or greater learning what is truly needed and what is bunk.

At the second store I got soft touch 3-ring D binders, the paper I would need, extra pens as mine die and/or disappear faster than I can keep on top of tracking them down, and some other items.  I went ahead and bought several packs of 3x5 cards rather than having to wait until I was in the mood to look, then peck and hope I find the ones I have.  I think I have all I need to begin, if the lessons are on hold until I am stable again.  I don't know if it is medicine, gloomy weather, the change of season, or what.  But right now I am just not able to concentrate.  At least I can get to a bit of work, so long as it isn't extremely detailed or too intense.

After the store visits, we headed to his place.  Yeah, I remembered the movie.  And I remembered to get popcorn too!  On the way we stopped for a double quarter meal, each.  I ate well, easily, and quickly.  I was starving.  Then I had a bag of popcorn too.  I think the movie (300) got his attention, though he couldn't hear it well until I talked him into ignoring the volume number and going by how loud he usually has cable television.  Then he could hear.  Movies just come out much quieter on most/all systems.  All done.  He thinks the weather will clear up later this week, for shooting.  All good.  I suggested, if he thinks that is happening and he wants to go shoot, his best bet is to give me a call the day before.  Simply, I am not always able to get motivated in an hour, or even three.  If he wants to shoot he just has to go that one step further.

On the way home, though, I was still famished!  I had to stop for another meal.  Did the snow work take it out of me?  Is the medicine pushing buttons?  I don't know.  What I do know is I have been very hungry today.  After two meals, nearly back to back, four sodas, a bag of popcorn, a bit of a snack when I returned home, I am still hungry!  Ah well.  I won't be working on the drywall tonight.  I am hoping to hit the sack a bit earlier, perhaps goofing for an hour or two first.  This is probably good night.
