Yeah, well, maybe a bit more rest.

I had hoped to get some things done today, and will, am.  Just not as much as I had hoped.  This week was as close to a sprint as I can get.  I am pretty zapped.  I did a few small things here in the house, then set up the garden for automatic watering then rearranged a hose to spray a remaining part of the lawn.  I will hit the front and back yard right were they got hit yesterday again today.  This is the first time at trying to set the garden to automatically water the garden, so I have a timer set for shortly after it starts.  I will check on it, making adjustments or fixes as necessary.

Most of my day has been used to rest.  I need rest, badly.  I didn't really want to mess with watering, I just must do that.  I can't fix what is wrong, but I can change behavior today and onward, for as long as I can.  And so I do.  I doubt if much will happen tomorrow, either.  And it is hot out there.  No raking, no more work save watering, until I can catch my breath.

Medicines have been being taken like clockwork.  It's been almost a week and a half since I straightened out the mess of hit and miss on that.  It does help, sometimes.  When it isn't hurting.  I suspected I wouldn't be working quite as quickly as I did, so perhaps I am finally hitting that wall I thought I would hit right off the bat.  No worries.  I'll just take rest when required, getting back into the game when possible.

A few side projects I will be researching, or one at least, is getting the drip irrigation situated so that I can water the hanging baskets.  If I do that, I will buy more flowers for those, if need be.  It does look like the ones that are there are dead.  Another day, and watering, will let me know for certain.  I really liked the bluish purple flowers too.  Little things, but such vibrant color.  I'm not a great fan of growy things you can't eat, but even I was impressed.  I... liked those.  A lot.  I'll do some research before going back to resting.  I probably have everything needed, probably.  I just don't quite know how to set it up for over the house, and up and around the porch roof line.

I did make rice.  Adding canned tuna and cheese to some, eating the rest of it just with butter and salt.  And I did straighten the floor freezer.  I'm getting low.  I really need to order another hog, and contemplate a side or quarter of beef.  Well, and begin looking for someone that raises lamb.  I don't see a lot of fowl being raised out here, currently, otherwise I would look for duck, goose, maybe even chicken.  It isn't about the local movement, a fad really, as literally marrying to the land and people I live on and with.  I avoid the term organic with a passion, and for good reason.  It is wasteful in product and offers no guaranteed value nutritionally or through eliminating the use of "bad things".  But I will buy local, otherwise, when the option is available.  If I had more energy, I would fish, too.  Putting up a small group for the winter, while providing meals through the spring and into fall, could help the bottom line and with food I do enjoy.  Perhaps in time, if I won't hold my breath.

On to gaming, and resting... before checking the garden watering automation.  Later.
