Down very late, up rather early.

I just could not sleep.  Then I realized why.  Warm.  I was warm.  Sleep requires cool.  So, I slimmed down the onboard wardrobe, took a shower as well, turned the thermostat down, and was able to begin cooling in prep for sleep.  Yea, nothing is easy hereabouts.  Still, I got to bed an hour after realizing the problem and beginning mending it, which was about four and change.

I set the alarms for 08:00, and 10:00, wasn't sure.  I figured I'd be able to blow one off, and was correct.  It was slightly before the 10:00 when the visitor arrived.  All good.  By having had the early alarm, I was... more primed for a wake and move.  I, mostly, expected a visit.  So... prep is your friend, my friend... if I do use the term "friend" lightly.  :)

I woke, with the help of a visitor.  And began working on the cages.  We got the last side finished, a front crafted, and wood supports for the second story done and on some of the cages parts.  I am having lunch and a break, but will then craft tops, lower the shelving, put in a support piece of wood along the back, and shovel more goat poop and hay out of the place.  Oh, I'll need to make splitters for the cages, for now.  Though, I suppose all the does could go in together?  That would be a last resort.  I think I can get dividers for the bigger cages crafted though.  I'll get them sooner or later, so...  As to the poop shoveling, with a mask this time.  The lungs hurt pretty badly, and that may have been the cause for the severe nosebleeds, or part of it.  Don't want to fool with that foolishness again.

Oh, as well, I'll set up dishes while on my lunch break.  The goal is to get through those during the day, on top of the rest.  It's... getting there.  Friday, tomorrow, I can buy wood for the last two, if very small, cages.  Those will only be 36" deep by 24" wide... or the other way? by 16" interior height... just buck dens.  We... don't need much.  I definitely have too much.  Those should be small enough to make whole, in the garage, and carry out.  Installation will also be rather easy.

No, doing... better.  It is taking a hand and a push, but... getting there.  I will get there.  Life isn't all that bad.  I best get some lunch down, then take a bit of a break.  Every few hours, a few hours of work.  And, I am learning how to do things by watching.  Mechanical stuff?  Some of it I can do.  But construction is... new to me, whole cloth.  There are tricks and methods that make life easier.  I learn a bit on my own, and a bit by watching, listening, asking.  Learning three different ways is a lot faster than any single method.  Not everyone can learn with the various methods.

Later.
