 After the school visit, I went over to the property. First thing's first, I need that burn pile that is right off the edge of the RV part to burn down and be down with it.  It took a while to get a fire going - everything still wet but some cardboard dry enough to get a nice fire going. 

Started feeding the fire wood versus trying to just let it burn everything. It won't happen that way, you have to keep dumping the wood on the fire, not hope that it will spread, cause' it won't.  Then it started raining.

That was almost shocking, for the forecast showed a 4% chance of rain today.  It stopped, after a short time and I went back to feeding the fire. Then it started raining again. Stop. Again. Stop - after that I went home.  For a day that wasn't supposed to have rain? It rained after that all day long.  

Now I'm finding out it's going to get down as low as 14 degrees overnight this coming week and that there is a chance of snow on Christmas.  Huh?  And I'm hoping people to come stay at the park? Lol.  14 degrees.....no thank you.  Lol. 16, 12, 23 19 starting on Thursday next week and going on the 3 days after for low temps.  

I don't wonder if I should just shut the water off at the meter at the street and drain the water out of the pipes.  Versus taking a chance of busted water lines. I have insulation around them but we're talking hard freeze, I don't think anything but heat tape will work.  I could just turn the water off, remove the connection, let the water drain out and not have to worry about it. It's that or open up all the valves to allow a drip. What's the point if no one is going to be there? 

Anyway. We went to the volunteer FF station for their Christmas party. Some fine food, good company, some awards handed out to various individuals. Home and now? I ate way too much food.  Like I wasn't even going to eat after the small lunch I had today, but it was too hard to turn down decent BBQ from a local restaurant.  


 Leaving in a few minutes to go to the older boy's school, in-class Christmas party.  I was invited, I shall go.  

However.  I was doing a Google search yesterday and I saw an ad about "long Covid".  Curios, I clicked on it and it started talking about long term effects of Covid after you are over and done with the coughing and basically the illness itself.

I then started googling long covid and reading several sites worth. This is exactly what I've been going through since I had Covid many months ago.  The fatigue being the biggest one. Whereas, I could go all day long without much of anything but a lunch break? I find myself worn out after 4 or 5 hours max.  

Some days much less than that. A taste. After getting Covid, I had this awful taste in my mouth. Everything had this taste added to it and it was disgusting.  It was a great diet plan, because I would start eating, gross out on the taste and stop.  In fact, the only thing that actually pushed through that nasty taste? A mug of beer.  

There are other symptoms as well, but I loathe to even discuss them - heart, lungs, kidneys, etc.  Whoever unleashed the Covid virus? They did a great job ensuring many people died and many people were affected for long after they got it. Will this fatigue ever go away? I have no way of knowing. For a while there, I thought I was getting my energy back, but then the fatigue hit again.

This is why I fear thinking about going back to work.  It's not that I don't like working, it's that I don't know that I can handle a 12-14 hour day sitting in a truck.  I will probably have no choice but to find out and soon enough.  I am doing fasting atm trying to see if that will disrupt this 'cycle' or whatever it is I'm in. 

When I say fasting, I mean eating nothing for days and drinking only water.  Fasting has been shown to ward off numerous diseases and fix things that ail you.  I figured I should try it while I have the chance, because once I start working again? I will have to eat just to keep some kind of energy levels up. 

Anyway, it is time to leave.  I have no idea - it's a party with the child, his classmates and the teacher in their classroom. A bit out of my territory, but I'll go anyway.  

 Christmas Day entry sort of ended abruptly.  Oh, it's Thursday - early afternoon I was cooking a brisket all day long yesterday and the...
