Cool and damp again.\u00a0 Hopefully clear, as that will make all my driving nicer… It was 50F when I went to bed.\u00a0 National forecast is for more of yesterday, so I should be ok.<\/p>\n
Didn’t get much done.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s mostly mental, but I’m still not 100%.\u00a0 I feel better, but tired, and weary.<\/p>\n
Plan for today is pick up rental trailer, use it to pick up two pallets of stone, and some geotextile, then pick up my pallet jack, and whatever else I can get on the trailer and head to the BOL.<\/p>\n
If everything goes well, and I’m lucky, maybe I’ll get there in enough time to meet the gas guy and maybe we can work out some temporary reprieve so we can at least have hot water while I get the line replaced.<\/p>\n
Which is sub-optimal but may be unavoidable.<\/p>\n
Family will join me later today if there is hot water and heat….<\/p>\n
I’ll be bringing up a few bins of stuff including about half of my OTC meds.\u00a0\u00a0 I went through and divided up the stuff I stocked up on 2 years ago, and I might end up with it all at the BOL, because I have normal stuff here already, but for now, I’ll just send half.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I need to split up the first aid and wound care stuff too.\u00a0 To be an actual BOL, it needs to be stocked as if we weren’t coming back to Houston.\u00a0 Yet, I need enough stuff stacked here to stay if we can’t or won’t leave….\u00a0\u00a0 It’s an interesting balancing act.\u00a0\u00a0 One consideration is that we won’t USE the stuff up there at anywhere near the rate we use it here, and so turnover will be a lot slower.\u00a0 More spoilage, more waste.\u00a0\u00a0 Oh well, we’ll figure it out as we go.\u00a0\u00a0 Or we’ll get caught short.\u00a0 But I hope to get\u00a0 it at least 80% right.<\/p>\n
One solution would just be stacking all the same stuff in the same quantities, starting from scratch so it’s not already aging out…\u00a0\u00a0 and I’m trying to take the newer stuff up there, not the oldest, but I can’t afford to simply double everything at this point.\u00a0\u00a0 As I said, interesting balance…<\/p>\n
One thing for sure, keep stacking.<\/p>\n
