Nap time.

.

I haven't done much.  I can't get to it.  Tinkering and resting and trying to make it to noon.  It's close enough.  I am not completely exhausted, but if I wait until then, rising from a nap becomes murderously difficult, possibly impossible.  I still have my eyes on the kitchen.  If I can't get to that today, I will keep that as my main focus for the next period in which I can work.  It has to be a top priority.  In the small picture, which is about all I have, my world revolves around a clean kitchen.  Besides, I like living in a clean cave.  I really do.  Had I health... meh... it would still suffer.  I would be out much more often, wearing myself out with activities, and work, or school then work.

I have been looking into minor projects, while physically incapable of much else.  Why waste time doing nothing?  A bit more research regarding egg noodles, for my next attempt at that.  Looking at boomerang construction and use, as a side hobby.  Reviewing what some consider solid sketching advice.  Researching heaters so that a garage workshop is tenable in the winter, or even a propane system for the bedroom, this computer room, and the garage.  The costly part of that would be burying line and installation, though my neighbor did the installation himself, and isn't a pro, but thought it was reasonable (other than running the lines themselves, mind you).  Hmm, I'd probably have to buy a tank, as well.  I'm thinking a larger outdoor propane tank.  It would offer a secondary heating source if all else fails, short term at least, and there are other options with a large tank, such as indoor, safe, cooking, in another stove, gas stove.  Perhaps even a gas dryer, though... there are pluses and minuses to all systems, and various fuel sources, that I really need to consider.  Having natural gas, electric, and propane, all coming in and variably viable, and to a degree switchable, would simply lay in the groundwork for short and medium term prepping. 

Long term?  Well, as Desert Cat has suggested, there is no real long term prepping.  All prepping is done merely to lessen the burden of getting used to a brutal new world order if all else truly falls and fails.  You can't have enough to live as you are used to living, keep it safe, stay connected, and thrive.  But you can mitigate the instant crush, and perhaps stay healthy, well fed, and safe enough to get to the point where some local re-establishment of some sort of civility can occur.   A year or two of "easy" food, some basic supplies, water for a few weeks or months at most, a few guns and some ammunition for various uses, bows and arrows and sling shots for a while after those are spent or to help stretch those, perhaps soap until you can learn to make your own assuming lye is or becomes available, fuels for perhaps a year, and maybe solar power if you can afford it, which could last from a few years to nearly twenty years, if you can maintain it and protect it from savagery of many sorts.  No long term preps can be truly made.

Anyway... a nap?  yep.  Later.
