Journal Entry
I've decided on how I'm going to fix my electrical problem... run new lines from the breaker box to the grill and another one from the breaker box to the oven. My original idea was to just run the lines from the old line that went to the old kitchen, and I'm not really sure why that didn't work, but it didn't. And I know that this will.
And I need to get that breaker box changed over as soon as I can, too. Can't forget that, as much as I might want to...
I did get a good eight hours of sleep again yesterday, from 09:00 to 17:30, and my knee felt pretty good when I got up, but it has degenerated since then, and by the time I got to work it was as bad as it was when I went home this morning.
Later on in the night...
And it's getting worse even yet. Luckily, again, I've not been very busy. I've been able to saunter everywhere that I've needed to go, no hurry at all. I really do hope that this lasts, but I know better than to count on it.
I've noted an interesting phenomena... every time that I hear ducks or geese migrating, it seems to be cloudy. Do they just fly on cloudy nights, or is that just when I hear them? Do I hear them because the clouds are reflecting the sound, or do they just fly lower when it's cloudy, and high enough that I can't hear them when it's not? One of those curious mysteries...
X-mas time is closing in. I hate it, normally, but this year I'm going to try to make an exception. Karen always wants to make a really big deal out of it and I have pretty much quashed her for the last four or five years... so this year I'm going to get enthusiastic about the house decorations, etc.
If you're reading this and know Karen, don't tell her about it... I want to surprise the hell out of her...
Another thought about smoking... JD and I were talking the night that he arrived from Texas as we were sitting on the deck smoking, and I realized that, in my haste to defy the moralistic anti-smoking crowd, I had jumped into the arms of the big tobacco companies. I don't want to be in either of those places, dammit, is there a middle road somewhere?
Well, Friday night is over, with only one drunk obnoxious asshole... and he, believe it or not, came back and apologized. Probably at the insistence of his girlfriend, but what the hell... I can't ever remember that happening before.
Anyhoo, another pretty light night, and my knee is grateful. It actually seemed to improve a little later in the night.
I was planning on pulling wire when I got home, but nobody else is up and I can't do it by myself and I hate to wake up anybody... so it'll just wait, I guess. Besides, I'm getting really sleepy...
More tomorrow...
