Having to push.

.
.
While I can't do a lot, I want to get something done.  If I can't, I can't, if I can sometimes I will.  Yesterday I was pretty much down and done.  Which... was fine.  Needed it.  I knew I would be hitting the wall sooner or later.  I almost thought I could keep running another month.  I wasn't sure how long or far down I would go either.  I seem to be back able to push just a bit.  Dishes were washed, and several other small chores were done.  I think I might still be able to get out yet tonight.  I would rather go in the morning.  Problem is I need a few things now.  I just may have to compromise on what brands or available.  I can usually find my preferred cream, but not milk, not always.

I had also hoped to shop for a pair of types of anchors, kit for an anchor trolley, and perhaps look for pvc piping, canvas/drop cloth material, and other bits and parts to set up a sun screen for the boat.  I don't have to be too particular, so long as I buy enough extra.  There are going to be mistakes, it will be engineering on the fly.  Goes with the territory.  Then again, if I get groceries out of the way, that task, as well as price checking a specific gps device, will be easier.  Tomorrow I will either try to get out hiking, or lift weights.  Probably weights.  The weather is still a bit cool and it is raining.  Not a problem, if I am doing well.  But right now it's bringing me low, along with everything else.

I have been able to eat.  Ah, but I better get charcoal.  I left all I had at the burn, though I had meant to use it there, so all good.  But that means I need more.  For the most part I am holding off on big purchases until I find out if some other expenses are coming in or not.  Even so, I will begin cutting my spending for a couple of months.  I have a decent little egg, but it is on the smaller, more fragile side.  Enough for groceries, gas, and general living.  Still, a couple of months of mostly watching pennies will see me in a bit better shape.  The only thing this month might be a gps and the anchors and trolley setup.  Well, and one other thing that was pre-planned and is already worked into the budget. 

Yeah, a shower and bath, I believe.  Then I'll start the dryer to fluff the clothes, set the dishes to a hot rinse, and then decide if it is too late to go to town... whether I should just try to wait until morning.  Perhaps take a nap, once I am dry, then just shower quickly before actually going to town, if I go later.  Some of it depends on how long this little push lasts.  Hungry, though...  Yeah, I'll have a bite to eat before anything else.  Ugh... dragging...  And yet back at it, at least in small ways.  I hope to hit the kitchen tomorrow, plus maybe mopping all of those floor out there, in cycles, through the day.  Hungry!  Later.
