Burned out.

Doing what I did yesterday was a wonderful thing.  I didn't hurt, didn't feel too worn, and yet I knew... suspected... I had gone over the line.  Good thing I stopped there.  Not that I think I would have hurt myself, merely that recovery time might have ended up being long.  Who knows, as is, how long that might be.  My body has been doing spot checks, trying to wake since about 7:45.  The exact alarm time I woke was "3:08".  Loved the time, just not how it relates to day and night.

I am a bit sore, somewhat stiff, still a bit sleepy, but not as bad as I have been.  When I do heavier work (for me), I always sleep in such a way so that my arms seem to fall asleep.  Both of them somehow.  Though I am not sure it is all about how I sleep.  But when worked beyond a certain point, they lose their ability to remain at the right angles, while sleeping, to prevent that?  I suspect the latter more, as even during the day, while awake, while sort of resting, my arms can fall asleep.  I have to do stretches and shoulder lifts from time to time.  All good.  That is pain I earned.  It is actually double duty.  Not only was it good for my body, but it did actual functional work that makes the yard look better, improves the health of the trees, and makes the area safer from falling dead.

Raining and overcast today.  That cools things off.  Actually, cool is a good thing today.  I think working out has raised my core body temp.  Over time, even on the coolest days here, I have been just fine.  I have my thermostat set on 66 F, for example, which is what my thermometers are reading, and I am fine in undershorts and a t-shirt.  Almost too warm.  I told you I was a bear.  Well, closer than most.

I don't know if I will get to window dressing today.  I might.  Even being tired as I am.  Though I would say that for the next few days at least, that will be the heaviest work I do.  Window work, minor cleaning, a bit of cooking.  I need a bit of a break from the heavy stuff.  Though with the rain, and I'll be occasional wind, that wasn't likely to be a choice.  Oh, and a trip to town for at least two reasons.  One is church business and friendship, one is panco... panko??? breading.  Though real bread would be nice as well.  I forgot that, for the scottish eggs.  Always something.  I had the list, just didn't check it well enough.  Bleh.

Oh, I can still get a couple good solid work days in, and then maybe go hiking.  Someone, thankfully, did the weeding, most of it.  I have just a bit to do around the tree.  Raking will also need to happen, just not on rainy days.  More limb cutting, too.  Most of that will be falling under the trees, in needed killed zones, so won't be much of a lawn fuss.  And I will be processing those in place, and the storage area is a few feet away.  While work, it won't quite be as complicated or heavy of work.  Getting into the trees is always a bit of a trick, one I am beginning to enjoy.  I just dreamed of knots and methods for up there.  I'm all but sure I have done some serious roping up in trees before.  I now remember how to make an impromptu chest harness to go with my waist harness so as to zipline a bit.  I'll want to review some knots, but... the dream seemed legit.

Later.
