The earliest wake in a long time.

 .

Not feeling well, wasn't yesterday really.  Trying to get to some things anyway.  While carbs aren't best, sometimes, they work they best.  What I have found is, if I am cold to the bones, and nothing else works, a carb-heavy meal will fix that.  Like it or not, it has a place.  At least from time to time.  I've lost the keto way for the last bit anyway.  Made a few mistakes with purchases.  Back to it as soon as I can sort life out.

I am nearing recovery, save for the hands.  Every time those get better, I go back to work and they swell back up.  I must have ripped them up pretty badly.  The left is back to not being able to fully squeeze a tight grip.  The right is still functional, it just feels like the skin is a size or two too small.  That was from putting the two three by six bottoms together and stapling the screens on them.

I have to try to get out today.  It'll be a push, but...  Plus, I have to get going on the hutch.  I found a few hinges, three, maybe four.  Heavier duty.  It should allow a top, probably just plywood, as with the backs.  I might have enough wood, if so, to build all the cages required.  The next trick is building them into place, which is required given the space.  It'll take a bit of forethought.

I think the base has to be put in first, the floor.  Then hinges on the back, and that, then the side panels.  The front panel will be a bit odd.  I may have to split out 2x4s, down to 2x2s, or the nailer won't work.  The heavier nailer would, but it has a good chance to split out the wood.  Messy.  Or... I could price 2x2s while in town.  I don't have much left, maybe just enough.

Part of the problem, too, lately, is that it has been so dark.  What enabled waking so early today was a spot of sun.  It looks to be going back under.  Or are the clouds one the way out?  I... just can't be sure.  The nice thing about sleeping near an east-facing window, is if there is sun, shade or no... at least a good thing in the winter... I will see it.  Something about the sun really helps me to wake.  Especially if it hasn't been very visible lately.  Even, it seems, if just for a few moments.

I... best... wake and get going.  Time is running out so fast, on so many things.  Later.
