Not quite ready.

I'll get the faucet in, but it'll take me today.  I got under and tinkered for a bit.  I guess I am more off my game than I thought today.  It isn't hard work, I'm just not used to being on my back.  No, I sleep on my side, half-curled up or more.  Meds have been taken regularly.  So it isn't that.  It was very rough under there.  It's more like I was hanging upside down, included nausea and a bit of confusion.  I must be really off today, more than I thought.  I doubt if I will make it to town, at least until later.  After an half hour of that I had to quit and take a seat.  I'll give it another half hour then try to get back to it.

I have set the thing up so that it should be easy to install.  I had forgotten how things went, exactly.  And I got something put in the wrong way to start it off.  This faucet goes on in a strange sort of way.  It's a compression three part mechanism that fits together like a puzzle, yet has to be positioned right up against the underside of the counter.  There is little space to work, less so for me.  My advantage is having long arms.  It's all a trade, I suppose.  It is sort of fun, unless my body is in some weird mode where odd angles are disturbing to it.  On top of the underside puzzle, the faucet itself is heavy, and sits on top of a base where it has to balance.  While jiggling the three under-pieces up, you have to not knock the faucet itself off the base.  It's... tricky.  Doable but tricky.  An extra hand, just to hold the faucet body steady, would be good.  I haven't quite figured out a great way to stabilize the faucet body, but have a simple solution in play.  Yeah, I do like doing this sort of thing, normally.

Hmm... perhaps a bit of food would help.  I'm still a bit dizzy from the first try, hunger isn't helping that.  Salami, cheese, and crackers would do the trick.  I might actually watch a movie while eating, to try to ease the condition generated by the effort.  I've not had that happen before, and I've worked on the sink often enough, and other things.  Odd.  Old, ill, I should... and do to an extent, expect strange things.  I thought I knew most of them though.

If I can get that in today, then shower, I may still try to get to town.  I need various items from the grocery.  The waffle iron arrived today, I am sure there may be things in the various recipes I intend to try which I don't have.  Fresh baking powder or soda, I know I am out of milk, could use a few more eggs... plus what else I am needing.  Getting to town is a serious maybe.  Heck, finishing the faucet installation is only a possibility.  That really hit me pretty hard, like I was pounded on the head by a bigger giant.  Ah well, I'll get it.  More now that I have it pretty much figured out.  Tricky even so.

Later.
