Still tired.

Didn't get to sleep earlier, if for good reason.  Did wake early.

I added a few security features.  Nothing can keep out a determined criminal.  Breaking and entering is as easy as breaking glass.  To enter without direct detection, immediately or later, is more easily deterred.  And so it has begun.  Two first parts have been installed, which is why I was up later.

I am not completely satisfied with what has been purchased and installed.  As portions of a system, they add mild security to a partially opened door... making entry both more difficult and loud(er).  And there is some mild addition to the closed door rigidity.  They can be helpful but are not... the end, only the beginning, of security.  Actually keeping anyone out, in an ajar state, not so much.

I have another part to go in soon.  It will add some security when fully shut but nothing  when partially open.  Hmm... though there may be a way to adjust for even that...  A few more components are in the cart, one to add more security when partially open, one to add security when shut.  And a peephole.  Oh, and three inch wood screws into all the frames.  Ever seen door locks hold while the frame falls apart?

That... is just the beginning.  When the free shit brigade finds a honeypot, they hate being denied what they now consider theirs.  My guess is part of why the last owners left is because they couldn't secure their property, even with two people.  They worked on different days, when he was home he often was in his shop.  I... have learned it doesn't matter.

So... the security efforts begin.  There may be retribution.  The ducks, Sam, a fire, another limb "falling".  Yea.  I get it.  No real way out.  Still, it is what it is.  Ugh.  Paranoid much?  Just because you are paranoid, and you should be, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.  Druggies, general thieves, the free shit brigade, and many others.  Take your pick.

Oh, today?  I... need to go back to bed.  I just can't quite start.  Just sleepy.  I have gotten good at keeping the cave, and myself, cool... for now.  However, when I can wake, the list from yesterday, plus a shower, is the plan.  It's actually fairly cool?  So very strange, after a little acclimation it gets easier.  Not every time, but this time, for now.  Later.
