Just sayin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>I did get a bunch of small tasks done yesterday so it wasn&#8217;t totally unproductive.  It wasn&#8217;t as much work as I thought I might get done though.  I&#8217;m still having periods where I just don&#8217;t feel good. No idea why, but it&#8217;s frustrating.  Call them hot flashes.  Don&#8217;t really feel like exerting myself during them.  If it doesn&#8217;t clear up in a week, I&#8217;ll make an appointment, but it&#8217;s not really like anything I&#8217;ve experienced before.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ll be doing more cleanup.  I&#8217;ve started making visible progress and that helps motivate me, and convince my wife stuff is happening.  Twofer!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll get enough done to spend a few minutes on another project, getting some air guns ready for my girls.  I&#8217;ve got a bunch of old pump .177 BB and pellet guns, and they need cleaning and paint or they need to be sent back to the auction.  I need to move them from where they&#8217;re stacked anyway, so maybe&#8230;   Sometimes having a bunch of little tasks I can peck away at makes sense, and sometimes it would be nice to focus on one thing for 8 hours.  I worry sometimes that I&#8217;ve lost the ability to do that, and I used to be good at it.  It&#8217;s been a while since I just cranked away at the same thing all day.<\/p>\n<p>There are some things that need to be done in the garage too.  I have gotten rid of some stuff to make more room for other stuff&#8230; and that needs to continue.  Before it gets too hot, I need to get my A\/C unit outlet wired, and the exhaust fan.  I had the roofers install the fan, but haven&#8217;t had a chance to run the circuit and hook it up.  Most nights are cool, but the garage holds the day&#8217;s heat, so it will help keep the temp down if I can just exhaust the hot air and draw in some cool air at the end of the day.  Once all that&#8217;s done, THEN I can move some of the food shelves to the garage.  There is always something to do before I can do the other thing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So I should get the kids off to school and quit playing around on the intarwebs and get busy&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>(and get busy stacking)<\/p>\n<p>n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Cool, damp, and breezy.
