 Wednesday - semi-early morning

11 hours of sleep.  I woke up once and was awake for an hour, but it's 12 hours since I went to bed.  Just the result of being sick and finally getting some sleep instead of being awake off and on coughing half the night.  That doesn't mean I feel good from getting all of that sleep. Quite to the contrary, my mind is muddled and groggy feeling which it normally is after getting far too much sleep.

Whatever. Undecided whether I should try to get anything done today.  I guess I'll figure that out in an hour or so when I start waking up a bit better.

Mid afternoon

I went over to the property and dug that thing out of there. The pedestal that is. It was not sitting well with me.  If I have a deadline on the thing, at least get it ready to go.  I got down to where the power lines go into the thing and that was enough. Take the panels off when ready to replace. Take off the panels, remove the circuit breakers and at least have an actual position of a starting point where I'm not starting from scratch.

After that and still feeling like crud, I decided to go for a walk on Addler's old stomping grounds.  That dog used to gallop through there, stopping here and there to sniff or pee on things.  It made me feel better going for that walk.  It's actual science now that getting out doors is beneficial to people that are sick versus laying in a bed constantly . 

I went to the bridge - he hated that bridge lol - and just stared off into the woods for a while.  Snakes long gone, their den opening was covered with cobwebs.  The stream just barely enough water to keep it wet.  A few pools of water, which I thought crazy.  The last few years during summer, the water dried up completely.  It hasn't rained here in quite a while.  It wasn't a brisk walk, just slow and mind full of different things.  

Sort of looking forward to orientation in Oregon. I only say it that way because of how I am feeling currently. It's still 3 weeks off to the departure date, I hope to be fine by then and deal with 2 to 3 weeks of orientation and training with relative ease.  

As of now, the dog is tentative for Saturday.  It will be an all day affair driving clear over there and back, hopefully with a "new" Great Dane dog.  I dunno what's going to happen, but that's on the calendar as of now.  

I am fortunate that today, the temps are well down and there isn't as much strain on the shed power panel.  I was in the shed and the ac had cycled off and didn't come back on while I was in there. Note that I'm not trying to keep it cold in there, just cool at most, tolerable is more like it.  

I didn't accomplish anything else today and considering how I'm feeling, I'll take it without self-condemnation.
