Burned out.

.

Not from too much work, or too little.  My fuses just aren't reliable.  Medicine is on target, has been for a long time.  I am right with the feedbag, not to heavy or light, if I have been thirstier than more recent norms.  Since I have rarer fully conscious moments, absolute will over things like fluid intake is limited.  So it is better, definitely, to adjust the quick fix, then perhaps attempt to find the major malfunction then bring that into line.  Sleep is good, or as good as I know how to manage it.

Pain?  Always there, lately.  Only sometimes severe in the mornings and as bedtime approaches, and once in a while as a waking force during sleep periods.  I haven't felt the need for painkillers in weeks, I think... thought about that a time or three but skipped, and rightly as the pain passed shortly.  Not much else to do?  The next time it snows, however, I plan to get out with the snowshoes.  Depending on how deep will decide the location... temps don't really play a part.

I finally bought a long desired kit.  Cordless power tools.  As well, on the way, about the most powerfull batteries they take.  This should make some of the work planned for this summer happen a lot more smoothly.  Reroofing almost two outhouses, bolt work on  the main roof, and maybe a few other odd jobs.  They just opened a world to me.  I'll keep the corded versions, for when serious power is needed, and that does happen.

A few things to check, something unnecessary may have been ordered.  If so, I'll return it, but merely to purchase, finally, a router, a smaller if not tiny one.  The ads for kits are confusing, out of date, if often to the benefit of the consumer...  I thought the drill that came with the kit was hammer only, not so.  Ugh.  Still, love making sure, if buying tools or a few other items, I get what I want, especially at certain prices.

I wasn't able to do the refrigerator, dish washer, and microwave this year so I did this instead, at a quarter to third the cost.  So :P  the only thing I really wanted but forgot isn't a tool, a heater.  I do have a propane burner, but that... isn't ideal for indoors, unless it is piped in.  While kerosene heaters don't have an absolutely perfect rep, of the options with reasonable qualifiers of price, cost of fuel, shelf-life of fuel, and a dozen others it comes out way ahead in getting emergency heating in my home the soonest.  Not sure I can do that yet this month, but it is next on the list.  Well, and fuel tanks and fuel.

Today?  I am hoping to just finish dishes, fold and put up what laundry is left, and finish the kitchen.  What a disaster of a week, as to intent versus results!  At least I never quit.  I kept ahead, on a sliding scale, I enjoyed if that required a touch of compassion for self.  I won't complain, or write the week off whole.  And there is today, tomorrow, and next week.  Amen.


Now get off my porch!  Later.
