We’re firmly in the “might get rain and storms” part of the national map today, and tomorrow. I’ll be flying so I hope we don’t get a bunch of weather. After yesterday’s nice day, it was a bit more cloudy in the evening and we even got a sprinkle that lasted less than 5 minutes, before it cleared again. It probably hit 100F in the late afternoon. My shaded thermometer read 99.6F. That’ll be the hottest day so far. Sure to get hotter though.

I did my pickups. The big TV was surprisingly easy to deal with on the drywall cart. I stashed it and the last two lappy stands at the shop and came home to do stuff for our trip. It’s not WDW, but it will be FL.

And after Florida, I should have some internet for the next 6 days, but IDK how good it will be or when I’ll have it. We’ll see what we get for the money. I’d bring the starlink mini but it is specifically verbotten. Blogging will perforce be lame, tired, perfunctory, minimal, and intermittent. Or it will be just like a normal day but I’ll only check in at night. I guess we’ll see.

Today I’m flying to FL. Hopefully it won’t be a dumpster fire of a day. I’m not thrilled.

But life is what happens while you are making plans. It’ll be good for some things.

Stack. It’s so much easier.

The national forecast has Houston in the clear for the next couple of days, and I really hope that the front just to the north doesn’t move south and change that. I could use the nice days even if I’m not feeling great. It was really nice yesterday. Sunny, clear blue sky, hot. Maybe too hot, but it’s Summer. School is out, so it’s Summer.

I am feeling better, but still not great. Still coughing. Still ‘half a bubble off’. Still snotty. I did get two pickups done. More aquatainers. Like gas cans, you really can’t have too many.

Today I’ll try to do the big TV pickup. I’m headed that way to do my remaining pickups for the week, so I might as well try. If I was feeling healthy and strong, I’d be stacking and clearing at the shop but I’m still not up to that.

I feel like I’ll be making a speed run to the BOL on Saturday to cut grass too. I won’t get another chance for at least 11 days, and that will be too long an interval. Assuming the grass grew at all since I was up there, and I’m pretty sure it did.

Tons of stuff coming up that is out of my control, and needs me to do stuff first, so I’m getting nervous and feel like I’m really behind with this getting sick business. Can’t do much about it at this point though.

Gotta keep pushing through.

And stacking. Water, food, security, health…

If it isn’t raining too much. It rained off and on pretty much all day yesterday, which is the way it should be to really benefit us. Not much good for my plans though. I’m hoping today is a bit less wet. Cool is fine, it was low to mid 70sF yesterday. I’m good with more of that…

Did not get much done other than domestic bliss. Three loads of it for bedding and related. Plus cleaning, putting away stuff and general poking at stuff. My brain and energy are still not recovered, but I’m functional.

And I need to put some of that function to work today. I’ve got pickups to do. If it’s not raining, I’m going to try to do my missed pickup. They usually do incoming shipping on Thur and Fri, but if they are there, maybe I can sneak my stuff out. I really don’t want to wait until next Monday.

There’s always more to do, no matter what you try or who you are. Don’t be like me, get something done. And stack because it’s ebola season again.
