Long day.  Cut out the side of the shed, installed the AC, put in the press-in insulation and then start installing the wall insulation.  It was getting so hot in there, even with the AC on, the ceiling light was emanating a lot of heat.

Or so I thought. I started thinking, no, that light couldn't possibly put out so much heat that it negates the AC unit. I touched the ceiling - it's all thin metal. It was hot.  I don't mean warm, I mean hot.  There is no way I can install the ceiling insulation without a stepladder. The little thing I borrowed from home isn't high enough to get me clear up to the ceiling in the middle. 

Well, I kept working on the walls anyway, but at some point I said no more.  Headed to walmart for other supplies before I was going to go to Lowe's for the ladder. Noted that they have a stepladder for $89. They aren't cheap anymore. Go price ladders - any ladders - it may be shocking see how expensive they are.  

Done with Wally World, I headed to Lowe's.  The only thing I wanted from there was that ladder. So, I found the one that is listed at $69 - all the ladders that were in the bin were the wrong ones. I found the one the fit the description of height - 4 feet tall instead of 6 feet, but I knew I could make it work. Took it up front. Rings in at $75.  I wasn't about to start arguing with associates, I took it back and brought up the one that was listed for $89.  It rung up for $107.  Started looking at it, it was busted.  It was the only one they had. I just leaned it up against a rack and left.  Just not in the mood to try and get the price to where the tag said it is.

Back to Walmart, an actual metal, 6' tall stepladder priced at $89. What am I supposed to do?  I'll rarely need the thing but we don't have a stepladder at home, either.  It's going to be a pain in the @$$ to install the stuff, I just said screw it, get the 6 footer. Walmart had a 4 footer for $20 cheaper but I thought, no.  

I didn't go back to the property, it was mid-afternoon.   Got dishes done and then I finally had a chance to sit down.  

No regrets today, got a lot done and that's that.  Tomorrow I hope and expect the same. In fact, my goal is to get the entire ceiling done and get the heat factor in there dealt with. It's crazy how hot that ceiling was in 80 degree weather. I know, the sun is beating down on it all day long when it's not cloudy, but I just didn't expect it to be that hot. 

Well, Keto has definitely stalled. I'm going to up the ante and cut calories back to a couple of meals a day - light meals at that.  I've had stalls before but this has been going on for a while. The scale moves up and down in a 5 pound range and does that for a long time. I don't much care for that, not with the sacrifices one makes on the strict Keto diet.  I could be doing something wrong - but I doubt it.   I'm not giving up on keto, I just need to figure something out. If cutting back doesn't help, I'll do another 3 day fast.  

Water only fast, that is.  It's not as bad as it sounds. I mean, yes, you get hungry but after a while it tones down quite a bit.  I've got to do something, I'd like to have no gut showing by the time I leave for AZ, or at least slim it down more than what it is now.  In fact, maybe upping the ante is to just go ahead and fast at least a couple of days. 

Well, I kind of have been on and off this entry. It's getting late.
