We&#8217;re in the middle of the thunderstorm zone today and tomorrow so we might actually get it.  We didn&#8217;t get any rain yesterday despite the possibility.

It&#8217;s gonna be a long day of hot hard work if everything goes to plan.<\/p>\n<p>And I need to keep an eye on some auctions.  There is a vet clinic selling everything, not too far from my house.   There are a number of things I&#8217;d like to have from that auction&#8230; if the zombies ever come.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another fairly close auction with a bunch of air rifles and the current prices are low.  In the auctions in general, there has been a lot of late bidding lately, so low prices 8 hours out might not mean what it would have last year, but I&#8217;d like to pick up a couple of nice ones for the stacks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And there is another auction with a bunch of stuff for my non-prepping hobby.  I didn&#8217;t win any of the stuff I was bidding on this week, so I&#8217;m keeping an eye on this sale.<\/p>\n<p>But I can&#8217;t sit in front of the computer all day, the kids are out of my hair, and I&#8217;ve got stuff to get done.<\/p>\n<p>SO MUCH STUFF.<\/p>\n<p>But it will let me break this log jam and keep making forward progress.  &#8220;Everything takes longer and costs more.&#8221;  If I repeated that mantra at work, I should understand that it applies to me in my home life too, right?  But I&#8217;m <em>SPECIAL <\/em>and I operate as if it wasn&#8217;t true.  Well it is true, and not acknowledging that can lead to frustration and disappointment and discouragement.  Time to deal with it and just keep pushing through. <\/p>\n<p>The end goal is to have stacks of stuff that will help me, not hinder me.  Anything that hinders has to go.  And if it helps, it gets priority.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m picking up more shelves today&#8230; and while it costs time, they should help organize, condense, and ultimately improve my situation.  <\/p>\n<p>Keep working to improve your situation.  By stacking, or by getting rid of some stuff. Sometimes getting rid of a stack is the best thing you can do.<\/p>\n<p>nick   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>   Sunny and hot, chance of rain.
